ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report the follow-up status and neurodevelopmental outcomes of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) survivors at 18 months' corrected age (CA).METHOD:
We performed a retrospective study of 130 ELBW infants admitted to neonatal intensive care unit of Seoul National University Children's Hospital between January 2005 and May 2009. The follow-up status and neurodevelopmental outcomes were evaluated until the CA of 18 months. The assessment of outcomes included cerebral palsy, cognitive developmental delay, blindness, deafness and catch-up growth. Clinical data were collected to identify the factors influencing neurodevelopmental disability.RESULTS:
Of the 130 survivors at discharge, 122 (93.8%) participated in the follow-up at 18 months' CA. Study characteristics included a mean birth weight of 783 g and a mean gestation of 27 weeks. One hundred and eleven infants (85.4%) were evaluated for cerebral palsy (CP) and 11 (9.9%) were identified with CP. Eighty five infants (74.6%) were assessed with the Bayley Scales of Infant Development-III (BSID-III) at 8 months' CA and 2 (2.4%) had a cognitive scale <70. Fifty four infants (41.9%) were assessed with BSID-III at 18 months' CA and 2 (3.7%) had a cognitive scale <70. There were 2 (1.2%) cases of blindness and the case of deafness was not present in this study. The failure of catch-up growth was seen in 40 (32.8%) infants. Severe intraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia, hydrocephalus and shunt insertion were the most important risk factors for neurologic abnormality.CONCLUSION:
In our institution, neurodevelopmental outcomes of ELBW survivors were comparable to recent reports from the USA. ELBW infants need to be monitored on multidisciplinary follow-up programs and more efforts should be made to improve the follow-up.
