Abstract

The effect of VLBW ( < 1.5 kg) and subnormal head size at 8 months of age (corrected for prematurity) on neurocognitive abilities at school age was investigated by a longitudinal follow up of 249 children born between 1977 to 1979 and admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital, Cleveland, OH.
