For some decades, preterm newborns have been the subject of study by health researchers. This concern with identifying premature children is due to the fact that it is a group liable to immediate problems and future sequelae. This research characterized premature children born in the city of Patrocínio / MG in 2004 and sought to know how physical therapy intervention has been going on. The SINASC secondary database was used for information on live births under 37 weeks of gestation and weight equal to or less than 2500g. Based on the data, physiotherapeutic referral was verified. The results were presented in tables and graphs. Births in a public hospital, family income, gestational age, birth weight and Apgar characterized the newborns. The incidence of preterms in Patrocínio / MG was 5%. The present study showed a significant percentage of children born preterm who were not referred for physical therapy (87.2%), and it is known that monitoring contributes to a better quality of life.
