Objective: To assess the association between clinical chorioamnionitis and neurodevelopmental disorders at 5 years of age in children born preterm.
Study Design: EPIPAGE 2 is a national, population-based cohort study of children born before 35 weeks of gestation in France in 2011. We included infants born alive between 24 and 34 weeks after preterm labor or preterm premature rupture of membranes.
Importance: Compared with term-born peers, children born very preterm generally perform poorly in executive functions, particularly in working memory and inhibition. By taking advantage of neuroplasticity, computerized cognitive training of working memory in those children could improve visuospatial processing by boosting visual inhibition via working memory.
Objective: To evaluate the long-term effect of cognitive working memory training on visuospatial processing in children aged 5½ to 6 years born very preterm who have working memory impairment.
Objective: To develop and validate a clinical prediction model for outcomes at 5 years of age for children born extremely preterm and receiving active perinatal management.
Design: The EPIPAGE-2 national prospective cohort.
Setting: France, 2011.
Aim: To describe the circumstances, causes and timing of death in extremely preterm infants.
Methods: We included from the EPIPAGE-2 study infants born at 24-26 weeks in 2011 admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICU). Vital status and circumstances of death were used to define three groups of infants: alive at discharge, death with or without withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment (WWLST).
Objective: To compare the neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm twins at 5½ years by chorionicity of pregnancy.
Design: Prospective nationwide population-based EPIPAGE2 (Etude Epidémiologique sur les Petits Âges Gestationnels) cohort study.
Setting: A total of 546 maternity units in France, between March and December 2011.
