The work's goal has been to carry out an assessment of costs for clinical care of children being born too early due to their mothers' smoking during the pregnancy. For it the data of 180,437 smokers were compared with those of 708,195 non-smokers. Proven clinical care costs of newly-born children and care sets of different clinics and insurance companies for neonatology were consulted for working on this topic. Extra care costs at an amount of 48 million Euros spent on perinatal medicine could be determined.
