Up to what age is considered an Infant Apnea?
The diagnosis of Infant Apnea is reserved for infants who are older than 37 weeks (approximately nine [9] months) at the onset of the apnea and for those with no specific causes of Apparent Life-Threatening Event (ALTE) or apnea can be identified. Apnea of Prematurity is restricted to apneas in infants younger than 37 weeks (approximately [9] months) and due to a respiratory immaturity (with no other identifiable causes).
