The purpose of this study was to examine predictors of neurodevelopmental outcome in very
low birth weight children without major impairment at 5 years of age, as well as to identify the …

Advances in obstetrics and neonatology have increased the survival rates of premature
infants with very preterm (< 32 weeks) and extremely preterm (< 28 weeks) gestations …

Advances in perinatal and neonatal management have resulted in a significant increase in
the survival of fragile extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants> 1,000 g at birth. The …

OBJECTIVE: Research is required to monitor changes in the nature of neurobehavioral
deficits in extremely preterm (EP) or extremely low birth weight (ELBW) survivors. This study …

Background: Birth weight (BW) is often used as a proxy for gestational age (GA) in studies
on preterm birth. Recent findings indicate that, in addition to perinatal outcomes, subjects …
