Recent evidences have indicated relevant differences between babies who are born at term, that is, when it is considered the five weeks that make up this period. Thus, the division of the term was proposed to fit into three categories: early term, between 37 weeks and 38 weeks and 6 days; full term, between 39 weeks and 40 weeks and 6 days and late term, between 41 weeks and 41 weeks and 6 days. Considering the importance of this issue for the clinical practice, we intended to accomplish the present study, which aimed to analyze the conditions of birth and compare the neonatal outcomes of newborns at term in midsized maternities, in the countryside of the state of São Paulo - Brazil, from 2011 and 2012. This regards across-sectional epidemiological study, which has an analytical approach, and used secondary data of 2455 births. Socio-demographic and obstetrical data were obtained, in order to characterize the mothers. Among the dependent variables we included: height, weight, head circumference and the Röhrer’s Ponderal Index. Significant variables of the babies’ condition in the neonatal period, such as Apgar’s index, complications, need for resuscitation or transfer to more complex services and their conditions, when babies are discharged, were also obtained. Two strategies of analysis were used: in the first, the independent variable, gestational age, was handled in a stratified way (37-38\/39-41 full weeks) and in the second, continuously. In statistical analysis, the comparison of maternal characteristics was performed from the Chi-square test. The comparison between newborns of both gestational strata in relation to the dependent variables was conducted by Mann-Whitney or the Chi-square tests. The chance of occurrence of outcomes according to the gestational age was obtained by multiple logistic regression, correcting the effect of the demographic variables, gestational history and current pregnancy. In all the analyses, ...
