In groups of comparison received significant differences on grounds such as gestational age, Apgar score in the first minute of life, severity of the condition on the first, third, sixth day of observation, the number of children discharged from the intensive care unit to ten days. On grounds such as birth weight and Apgar score at five minutes of life revealed a clear tendency of decrease performance in preterm boys. Established that condition of male infants in the early neonatal period, more severe than female infants.
