The development of 30 full-term infants undergoing surgery soon after birth was compared with a matched group of 29 healthy newborn infants in a prospective longitudinal study.

Of the various neonatal and perinatal factors studied, the length of hospital admission was the one most strongly associated with developmental progress at 1 year of age.
