“…26 Our 1979-1980 cohort of ELBW survivors had their developmental outcome assessed at 2, 5, and 8 years corrected age. [27][28][29] Eighteen percent had severe disability, defined as nonambulatory cerebral palsy, psychological test score of more than two standard deviations below the mean, or bilateral blindness. Compared with outborn survivors, inborn survivors had a significantly lower severe disability rate: 15 vs. 50% at 2 years, 15 vs. 38% at 5 years, and 13 vs. 39% at 8 years.…”

Institution-based studies from perinatal centers are reporting encouraging survival and developmental outcome in extremely preterm infants, but population-based studies of all such births within a geographical-defined region are necessary to examine the impact of perinatal-neonatal care on the entire community. We have reported that their perinatal mortality and severe disability rate were significantly lower in those born within perinatal centers compared with those born elsewhere. Promotion of "in utero transfer" is associated with a significant improvement in their survival and developmental outcome. Postnatal surfactant therapy, which began a decade ago, saw a doubling of the survival rate for infants born as early as 24-26 weeks, while their severe disability rate remains below 10%. Although surfactant and mechanical ventilation are expensive therapies, the resulting improvement in outcome was responsible for a reduction in the cost per additional quality-adjusted life-year gained.

“…Scott (1984, 1989) also reported that, for AGA children, there was a signi cant positive association between standardised developmental scores at 7 years and gestational age; this was in contrast to SGA children for whom there was a negative relation between the two parameters. Kitchen et al (1984) also reported that AGA children had signi cantly less severe functional handicaps than SGA children at the two-year assessment. Silva, McGee, and Williams (1984) suggest that, in spite of the fact that preterm infants generally may no longer be considered a high-risk group for developmental de ciency, SGA children are at risk of moderate neurological impairment.…”

Intellectual ability and learning disabilities (LD) were assessed in a cohort of 33 extremely low-birthweight (1000 grams) children at 6-8 years of age with a psychometric test battery. The children were classified into the following three groups: a LD-suspected group of 9 boys (27.3%), a mentally delayed group of 3 boys and 3 girls (18.2%), and a typically developing group of 6 boys and 11 girls (51.5%). No correlation was found between birthweight and intelligence quotient (IQ) at 6-8 years of age. A negative correlation was found between IQ and gestational age (GA) at a nearly significant level. The mean verbal IQ for the 11 small for gestational age (SGA) children was significantly lower than that of the appropriate for gestational age (AGA) children. The LD-suspected group was characterised by lower scores on spatial relationships and rapid but inaccurate solving of the visuo-motor integration tasks on the Frostig test.
