Episodic and prospective memory difficulties in 13-year-old children born very preterm.

Objectives: Children born very preterm (VP) are susceptible to a range of cognitive impairments, yet the effects of VP birth on long-term, episodic, and prospective memory remains unclear. This study examined episodic and prospective memory functioning in children born VP compared with their term-born counterparts at 13 years.

Method: VP ( = 81: born <30 weeks' gestation) and term ( = 26) groups were aged between 12 and 14 years.

Thirteen-Year Outcomes of a Randomized Clinical Trial of Early Preventive Care for Very Preterm Infants and Their Parents.

Objective: To evaluate 13-year outcomes of a randomized controlled trial of preventive care (VIBeS Plus) for infants born very preterm and their parents and examine whether possible effects of intervention varied by family social risk.

Study Design: Families were randomized to an intervention arm (n = 61) or a standard care arm (n = 59). The intervention was delivered at home by psychologists and physiotherapists over the infants' first year, focusing on infant development and parental mental health.
