Two hundred and ninety-seven computerized files of patients who gave birth between 34 and 36 weeks+6 days at the hospital Foch's maternity were analyzed retrospectively. Descriptive statistical analysis was done with XLSTAT 2008. Among the 6028 births, 4.9% happened between 34 and 36 weeks+6 days and 43.1% of these births were medically induced. The two main causes of induced late preterm birth were: pre-eclampsia (28.9%) and premature rupture of membranes (25%). In spontaneous deliveries, newborns less often require respiratory support at birth (17.2% vs 31%; P=0.02) and are significantly less likely to be hospitalized in neonatology (54% vs 72.3%; P
