[Prognostic factors of neurosensory sequelae in extremely premature infants].
Modern neonatal intensive care has led to a rise in the survival rate of very low birthweight infants (VLBW), but at the same time is a greater number of neurosensorial sequelae. In this study, 50 VLBW (weight less than 1,500 g) babies followed up for at least 12 months are analysed. 18% showed major sequelae (40% of those weighing less than 1,000 g, 12.5% of those weighing 1,000 g or more). The prognostic factors which were most important in the prediction of sequelae were: low birthweight, major irregularities in the EEG, the presence of sepsis, and prolonged ventilotherapy or antibiotherapy.
