title: Evidence for late developmental deficit in very low birth weight infants surviving intraventricular hemorrhage.
abstract: 88 very low birth weight preterm infants who had been evaluated with neonatal computed tomography scanning and/or echoencephalography were subsequently brought to follow-up. Serial neurodevelopmental testing at 6, 12, and 18 months corrected age demonstrated that even the lesser grades of germinal matrix and intraventricular hemorrhage may be associated with a relatively less favorable neurodevelopmental outcome.
