Prématurité is a French-language medical reference on premature birth and the care of very young infants. The work treats prematurity as both a clinical and scientific concern, covering the circumstances that can lead to early delivery, the physiological vulnerabilities of premature newborns, and the specialized support they require after birth. Its Elsevier scientific imprint and substantial 350-page format indicate a professional or academic audience, likely physicians, midwives, nurses, researchers, and students involved in maternity, neonatal, and pediatric care. The title suggests a focus on diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, and management rather than narrative discussion, positioning the book as a practical contribution to perinatal medicine.
