title: [Results of intensive care and intensive therapy of very low birth-weight infants (author's transl)].
abstract: Newborns of less than 1500 g birth-weight are thought to be especially at risk with regard to their psychomotor development. Among 71 such infants admitted to the University Childrens Clinic, Tübingen, in 1974-1975, 43 survived (38% mortality). All but two of them were followed serially and assessed for their psychomotor development. Five were found to be abnormal (12%), three of them most probably having sustained CNS damage prenatally.
