Longitudinal Neurologic Follow-Up in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Survivors With Various Neonatal Morbidities

Abstract

Neonatal morbidities exert a significant impact in neurologic outcomes among preterm children during the 8 years of assessment. Compromised neurologic status adversely affects cognitive and school performances. Neonatal medical status is an important variable indicating neurocognitive and school performance outcomes in low birth weight infants.
