ABSTRACT

Objective: To assess the growth and neurodevelopmental outcome of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants at corrected age of one year. Methods: This prospective cohort study enrolled VLBW infants delivered in a tertiary care hospital, and followed up till oneyear corrected age. The WHO Anthropo version 3.2.2 software was used to calculate weight for age, length for age, and head circumference z-score during follow up. Neurodevelopmental assessment was done using Developmental Assessment Scale for Indian Infants (DASII) at the age of one year. Results: The mean (SD) z-scores at one-year for weight for age, length for age and head circumference were -2.1 (1.1), -1.4 (1.03) and -2.2 (1.2), respectively. The mean (SD) DASII motor and mental scores were 90.8 (13.4) and 96.5 (13.2), respectively. Major and minor developmental abnormalities were noted in 9.4% and 18.2%, infants, respectively. Cerebral palsy was noted in 5.8% infants. Conclusion: VLBW infants showed impaired growth and significant developmental abnormalities at the corrected age of one year.
