Abstract
Objective
Sequelae of academic underachievement, behavioral problems, and poor executive function (EF) have been extensively reported for very preterm ( 0.51).
Conclusions
Very preterm and/or VLBW children have moderate-to-severe deficits in academic achievement, attention problems, and internalizing behavioral problems and poor EF, which are adverse outcomes that were strongly correlated to their immaturity at birth. During transition to young adulthood these children continue to lag behind term-born peers.
