37 children with a birthweight below 1.501 grams were studied between the ages of one and two years. The children were all admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at the Regional Hospital in Trondheim in 1985 or 1986. Morbidity, development, growth and major handicaps in the study group were registered and compared with a control group of children born at term during the same period. The preterm children showed a significantly higher incidence of lower respiratory tract infections and hospital readmissions than did the children in the control group. The incidence of cerebral palsy in the study group was 10.8% among the survivors (7.3% among live births). None of the children in the control group had a major handicap. Neurological development as judged by the Gesell scale was normal in the study group. However, the control group reached a higher score than expected for their age. A striking finding was the lack of catch-up growth in the prematurely born children. This finding should receive further attention in future.
