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… Expand

Infant growth after preterm birth and neurocognitive abilities in young adulthood.
TLDR
Within a VLBW group with high variability in early growth, faster growth from birth to term is associated with better neurocognitive abilities in young adulthood, and these outcomes were predicted, in particular, by early postnatal head growth. Expand
Neurocognitive abilities in young adults with very low birth weight
TLDR
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. Expand
Infant Growth after Preterm Birth and Mental Health in Young Adulthood
TLDR
Despite the high variability in early growth of VLBW infants, the previously described association between slow growth in infancy and poorer cognitive functioning in later life is not reflected in symptoms of depression, ADHD, and other psychiatric problems. Expand
Psychosocial and Developmental Outcomes of Children Born following Intrauterine Growth Restriction: An Australian Pilot Study
TLDR
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 developmental concerns, older maternal age and lower birth weight were observed compared to children without apparent problems. Expand
Psychosocial and Developmental Outcomes of Children Born following Intrauterine Growth Restriction: An Australian Pilot Study
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with a negative effect on the growth and neurodevelopment of newborn babies, with substantial perinatal mortality and morbidity. Relatively less… Expand

Growth after late-preterm birth and adult cognitive, academic, and mental health outcomes
TLDR
Faster growth during the critical early period after late-preterm birth is associated with better adult neurocognitive functioning, but not consistently with mental health outcomes. Expand
Preterm Birth, Social Disadvantage, and Cognitive Competence in Swedish 18- to 19-Year-Old Men
TLDR
This study confirms previous claims of an incremental association of cognitive competence with GA and modified this effect at all levels of preterm birth. Expand
Exposure to placental insufficiency alters postnatal growth trajectory in extremely low birth weight infants
TLDR
It is demonstrated for the first time that placental insufficiency, an antenatal factor, is a major determinant of postnatal weight trajectory in the ELBW population. Expand
Low birth weight and intelligence in adolescence and early adulthood: a meta-analysis.
TLDR
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. Expand

Outcomes in young adulthood for very-low-birth-weight infants.
TLDR
Educational disadvantage associated with very low birth weight persists into early adulthood, and differences persisted when comparisons were restricted to the participants without neurosensory impairment. Expand
Outcomes in Young Adulthood for Very-Low-Birth-Weight Infants
TLDR
A cohort of 242 survivors among very-low-birth-weight infants born between 1977 and 1979 is compared with controls from the same population in Cleveland who had normal birth weights to assess the level of education, cognitive and academic achievement, and rates of chronic illness and risk-taking behavior at 20 years of age.

Effects of gestation and birth weight on the growth and development of very low birthweight small for gestational age infants: a matched group comparison
TLDR
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. Expand
Effects of biological and social factors on the cognitive development of very low birth weight children.
TLDR
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. Expand
Risks for Low Intellectual Performance Related to Being Born Small for Gestational Age Are Modified by Gestational Age
TLDR
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.

Functional Outcomes and Participation in Young Adulthood for Very Preterm and Very Low Birth Weight Infants: The Dutch Project on Preterm and Small for Gestational Age Infants at 19 Years of Age
TLDR
Compared with the general Dutch population, twice as many young adults who were born very preterm and/or with a very low birth weight were poorly educated, and 3 times as many were neither employed nor in school at age 19. Expand
Cognitive development of term small for gestational age children at five years of age
TLDR
The findings indicate that child cognitive development is strongly associated with parental factors, but only marginally associated with intrauterine growth retardation. Expand

TLDR
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. Expand
