[School achievement following hemolytic disease in the newborn].
Repeated psychological investigations were performed in a group of 123 children who as newborns received exchange transfusions due to a haemolytic disease. Their school-career was compared with a control group of healthy newborns at an age of 16 years. In the Mhn-group a lower level of school performance could be observed. There was a higher percentage of backward children according to additional perinatal risks and a lower socioeconomic status of the parents. Even at the same class the two groups differed in their median school marks for the different subjects and behaviour proving the Mhn-children in spite of early exchange transfusion at risk for later failure in school.
