Objective: The goal was to identify, among extremely low birth weight (
Methods: Unimpaired outcome was defined as Bayley Scales of Infant Development II scores of >or=85, normal neurologic examination findings, and normal vision, hearing, swallowing, and walking. Outcomes were determined for 5250 (86%) of 6090 extremely low birth weight inborn infants.
Results: Of the 5250 infants whose outcomes were known at 18 months, 850 (16%) were unimpaired, 1153 (22%) had mild impairments, 1147 (22%) had moderate/severe neurodevelopmental impairments, and 2100 (40%) had died. Unimpaired survival rates varied according to birth weight, from <1% for infants
Conclusions: Although <1% of live-born infants of

However, the results of individual cohort studies have been inconsistent. We aimed to investigate the association between maternal diabetes before pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with neurodevelopmental, cognitive and behavioural outcomes in children.
