Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

RDS affects about 1% of newborn infants and is the leading cause of death in preterm infants [1].

Age

The incidence decreases with advancing gestational age (length of pregnancy), from about 50% in babies born at 26-28 weeks, to about 25% at 30-31 weeks.
