Overview

Review synthesizes evidence on cognitive, motor, and behavioral outcomes in very preterm children, indicating key risk factors.

Key Points

  • Brain injury and bronchopulmonary dysplasia strongly predict neurodevelopmental impairment in children born very preterm.
  • Lower socioeconomic status correlated with negative cognitive and motor outcomes like IQ and functioning.
  • Analysis included 29 studies from 16 cohorts reporting diverse early factors affecting long-term development.
  • Findings highlight the importance of early intervention for at-risk children to improve their developmental trajectory.
