"Studies have shown that babies born preterm are at a higher risk of various medical problems such as respiratory distress syndrome, chronic lung disease, cardiovascular disorder, asthma, hearing and vision loss than are babies born during the normal gestation period In 2013 there were 380,323 births in Canada, of which 29,716 (7.8%) were preterm births. The proportion of all births represented by preterm births remained fairly constant throughout the period 2000 to 2013, ranging from 7.3% in 2001 to 8.0% in 2008"--Page 3.
