Objective: To examine the effect of intrauterine and neonatal growth, prematurity and personal and environmental risk factors on intelligence in adulthood in survivors of the early neonatal intensive care era. Methods: A large geographically based cohort comprised 94% of all babies born alive in the Netherlands in 1983 with a gestational age below 32 weeks and/or a birth weight >1500 g (POPS study). Intelligence was assessed in 596 participants at 19 years of age. Intrauterine and neonatal…

Poorer neurocognitive performance is associated with VLBW irrespective of the intrauterine growth pattern, and this results indicates that adults born with very low birth weight (VLBW) differ in a range of neuroc cognitive abilities and academic performance from adults born at term and not SGA.

This pilot study supports the need for further prenatal and postnatal research that examines the psychosocial trajectory of children born following IUGR, and suggests that older maternal age and lower birth weight were observed among children with developmental concerns were observed compared to children without apparent problems.

Cognitive impairments associated with LBW persist into adolescence and early adulthood; however, the influence of LBW on IQ decreases from childhood to young adulthood, and the effect size decreased from childhood into young adulthood.

Increased survival of infants with a birth weight ≤750 g coincided with more children with an impaired NDO at 2 years corrected age, and SGA infants are especially at risk of impaired N DO.

Short adult stature or a high BMI was associated with an even higher risk for poor intellectual performance in the subjects born preterm, indicating the occurrence of common mechanisms underlying growth and cognitive development.

Being underweight and with a short gestation leads to poor weight gain and head growth in infancy but does not result in poorer growth than in infants of the same birth weight but shorter gestation (AGA-BW) in the long term.

Children at high biological risk were able to catch up on their cognitive delay in a highly stimulating home environment and children at low as well as low biological risk in a less stimulating home environments showed a decline in cognitive development.
Risks for Low Intellectual Performance Related to Being Born Small for Gestational Age Are Modified by Gestational Age

During early stages of gestation, growth in length and head circumference may be more important for intellectual development than weight increase, and future studies on size at birth and intellectual performance should consider also including anthropometric measurements other than birth weight.

Cognitive ability in children born preterm is significantly related to gestation, but may also be related to the effects of PDA on early brain development, through either periventricular haemorrhage/ventriculomegaly or other disturbance of early brain growth.
