Preemies' cognitive deficits

Stefanie Dell'Aringa

A high percentage of infants born at 24 to 25 weeks' gestation were shown to have cognitive deficits, according to a California study.

Researchers followed 86 infants of extremely low gestational age born between 1990 and 1994 and discharged from the intensive care nursery at the University of California, San Francisco.

Data on medical and social risk factors were collected, and subjects were tested for neurologic, neurosensory and cognitive outcomes at a mean age of 32 months.
