Background: Recent studies have indicated that children born only a few weeks earlier than their due date experience more health and cognitive problems than previously realized.
Aims: Our study investigated whether gestational age (GA) at birth (35-41weeks) predicted developmental outcomes at 8, 12, 20, or 24months of age.
Study Design: Archival records of developmental screening scores collected between 2006 and 2012 were analyzed using negative binomial and logistic regressions models.
