“…The first study to suggest that preterm birth might affect a child’s later development was published in 1919 1. It was not until the 1960s, however, that more appropriate study designs, improved technology, and better measuring techniques allowed determination of clearer relations between early risk factors associated with prematurity and later outcome.…”

Aim-To examine the spectrum of neurological dysfunction and perceptualmotor diYculties at school age in a cohort of prematurely born children, and the relation of these measures to neonatal brain lesions, intelligence quotient, and behavioural adjustment. Method-One hundred and eighty three children were tested at the age of 6 years using Touwen's Examination of the Child with Minor Neurological Dysfunction, the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (Movement ABC), the Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (VMI), British Ability Scales, and Rutter Scales. Results-Twenty six children had definite cerebral palsy and one was blind. Of the remaining 156, the proportions falling below the 15th centile point were 31% on Touwen's Examination, 44% on the Movement ABC, and 17% on the VMI. Forty two passed all three tests. No child with a normal ultrasound scan developed cerebral palsy, whereas nearly all those with major lesions did. Minor lesions, however, were not generally predictive of later outcome. Correlations between the tests were generally low. Conclusions-These findings stress the need to assess neurological and perceptual motor functioning separately at school age and to monitor relationships with other aspects of development.

“…Ylppö set about collecting data that enabled him to construct his own fetal growth curves ( fig 2). 4 In his study of the growth of some 700 premature infants, nearly half of whom died before the end of the first year, he compared the growth of the premature infant with his intrauterine growth curve and with figures for the growth of the full term infant. He wrote: 4 ''The normal growth impulse in premature infants is enormous … and the younger the child [in gestational age] the more intense is the growth.…”
