Implication

Meta-analysis reveals persistent neurobehavioral and academic deficits in very preterm or very low birth weight individuals, highlighting long-term developmental challenges into young adulthood.

Key Points

To assess neurobehavioral outcomes and developmental deficits across childhood and young adulthood in individuals born very preterm and/or with very low birth weight.
Conducted a meta-analysis synthesizing neurobehavioral endpoints, including academic achievement, attention, internalizing behaviors, and executive function.
Evaluated outcomes across developmental stages from childhood through the transition into young adulthood compared to term-born controls.
Very preterm and/or very low birth weight children exhibit moderate-to-severe deficits in academic achievement, attention problems, internalizing behavioral problems, and poor executive function.
Adverse neurobehavioral outcomes correlate strongly with degree of immaturity at birth and persist through the transition into young adulthood relative to term-born peers.
