Abstract

|
During the last several decades, the number of preterm infantshas increased, and their survival rate has improved owing toadvances in perinatal care. As more preterm infants survive,many studies examine their neurodevelopmental outcomes.
This study aimed to summarize the neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infants according to gestational age at birthusing a recently published meta-analysis. The prevalence ofneurodevelopmental impairment and behavioral disordersdecreased as gestational age and birth weight increased. Recentstudies reported that proactive neonatal treatment of periviablepreterm infants (gestational age, 22?24 weeks) could improvetheir prognosis. Moderate and late preterm infants reportedlyhave less severe disease than very preterm infants; nonetheless,they still experience adverse neurodevelopmental outcomescompared to term infants. Neonatal morbidities such asbronchopulmonary dysplasia and retinopathy of prematurityare associated with poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. Despite improvements in neonatal care, prematurity is still associated with poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. To ensuretimely intervention, the establishment of a follow-up system forpremature infants is necessary
