Introduction: Scientific and technological advances in perinatal heath have helped improve survival among children born at gestational ages between 34 and 36 weeks and 6 days, known as preterm or premature children. The study was aimed at acquiring knowledge about the scientific production on late prematurity. Methods: An integrating review was conducted which included various types of studies, thus offering a broader outlook on the topic. The papers surveyed were published from July 2002 to July 2012 in databases SciELO, CINAHAL and ScienceDirect. Data were analyzed and classified into three categories: risks related to morbidity and mortality in late prematurity; therapeutic management and health status in late prematurity; and effects of prematurity upon childhood. Results: Most of the studies published -scarce as they were- referred to risks related to morbidity and mortality in late prematurity, with an increase in the last four years. There was a predominance of US publications. Conclusion: A need is perceived of studies about the nursing care of preterm babies.
