Preterm birth and severe morbidity in hospitalized neonates who are HIV exposed and uninfected compared with HIV unexposed

Neonates who were HEU (vs. HUU) did not have increased all-cause or infection-related hospitalization. However, very preterm birth, very low birthweight and ICU admission were more likely in hospitalized neonates who were HEU, indicating increased severity of neonatal morbidity.
