title: [Follow-up of the development of children up to the age of 8-12 years after prenatal glucose infusion].
abstract: Children whose mothers were given prenatally glucose infusions as therapy of foetal hypotrophy were examined at the age of 8-12 years. A group of 24 of these children were compared with a group of 29 controls born as hypotrophic without prenatal glucose infusions. All children were born after the 37th week of gestation. Complications in the neonatal period were more frequent in the control group; no relationship of the subsequent development and postnatal hypoglycaemia was found, a less favourable development was recorded in one third of the children with a history of polycythaemia. Between the two groups of children no differences in morbidity were found, however, neurological abnormalities and other complications were less frequent in children who had the infusion. The assumption that the development of children born hypotrophic can be favourably influenced by prenatal glucose infusions seems justified according to long-term results.
