  • Title: [Premature infants at double risk].
    Author: Smith L, Ulvund SE, Lindemann R.
    Journal: Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen; 1994 Jun 30; 114(17):1920-4. PubMed ID: 8079315.
    Abstract:
    Premature infants risk neurological and neuropsychological sequelae. Usually, however, the outcome bears no strong relation to perinatal medical events. This study examines the outcome for 105 infants with very low birth weights up to age three years. The data suggest that the assessment of processing ability and parental socioeconomic status may provide a better foundation for detecting developmental delay than a medical main-effect model does. Children at "double risk", who had poor processing abilities and came from families with few social resources, were especially vulnerable to sequelae. The results have implications for intervention in the case of infants with low birth weights.
