Aims The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive update on (1) the overall
prevalence of cerebral palsy (CP);(2) the prevalence of CP in relation to birthweight; and (3) …

The prediction of long-term outcomes in surviving infants born very preterm (VPT) or with
very low birth weight (VLBW) is necessary to guide clinical management, provide …

Importance Treatment of respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants with continuous
positive airway pressure (CPAP) preserves surfactant and keeps the lung open but is …

Importance Many centers delivering infants at 22 to 25 weeks' gestation have limited data
regarding their outcomes. A meta-analysis of the 4-to 8-year neurodevelopmental outcomes …

Importance Rates of survival for infants born at the border of viability are still low and vary
considerably among neonatal intensive care units. Objective To determine whether higher …

OBJECTIVE: To examine the prevalence of neurodevelopmental disability and the predictive
value of pre-, peri-, and postnatal data on neurologic, sensory, cognitive, and motor function …

OBJECTIVE: To describe the prevalence and gender characteristics of mental health
problems in extremely preterm/extremely low birth weight (EP/ELBW) children without …

BACKGROUND: Uncertainty continues regarding the extent to which neonatal morbidities
predict poor long-term outcome and functional abilities in extremely preterm infants …

Background Extremely preterm infants are at high risk of neonatal mortality and adverse
outcome. Survival rates are slowly improving, but increased survival may come at the …

Background Expectant parents of very preterm infants, physicians, and policy makers
require estimates for chances of survival and survival without morbidity. Such estimates …
