Visual processing in adolescents born extremely low birth weight and/or extremely preterm.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Ocular growth and development differs between preterm and term-born infants and may cause long-term negative consequences for visual function, but contemporary data on long-term visual outcomes in representative samples of the highest risk extremely low birth weight (ELBW, <1000 g birth weight) or extremely preterm (EP, <28 weeks' gestation) survivors are lacking. Our ...
متن کاملVisual memory and learning in extremely low-birth-weight/extremely preterm adolescents compared with controls: a geographic study.
BACKGROUND Contemporary data on visual memory and learning in survivors born extremely preterm (EP; <28 weeks gestation) or with extremely low birth weight (ELBW; <1,000 g) are lacking. METHODS Geographically determined cohort study of 298 consecutive EP/ELBW survivors born in 1991 and 1992, and 262 randomly selected normal-birth-weight controls. RESULTS Visual learning and memory data were...
متن کاملCognitive outcome varies in adolescents born preterm, depending on gestational age, intrauterine growth and neonatal complications
AIM The aim of this study was to investigate long-term cognitive outcome in a cohort of 18-year-olds born preterm and previously assessed at the age of 5.5. METHODS We tested 134 adolescents born preterm with a very low birthweight of <1500 g and 94 term-born controls with a comprehensive cognitive battery at 18 years of age. The cohort was subdivided into 73 extremely preterm, 42 very preter...
متن کاملSalivary Telomere Length and Lung Function in Adolescents Born Very Preterm: A Prospective Multicenter Study
Preterm birth is associated with abnormal respiratory functions throughout life. The mechanisms underlying these long-term consequences are still unclear. Shortening of telomeres was associated with many conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We aimed to search for an association between telomere length and lung function in adolescents born preterm. Lung function and telomer...
متن کاملPulmonary gas transfer in children and adolescents born extremely preterm.
In extremely preterm-born infants, gas exchange takes place in developmentally fetal lungs, disturbing normal acinar growth and differentiation, potentially with long term negative consequences for lung function. The aim was to compare alveolar function in children and adolescents born extremely preterm and at term by measuring diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO). Since th...
