Outcome of Very Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Clinics in Perinatology, 1986
This review of the literature and selected unpublished data documents normal early outcome in 50 to 81 per cent of tiny infants. Educational outcome described by a few studies is less encouraging, with only 32 to 36 per cent considered normal. Each study investigated the contribution of different perinatal, environmental, or social variables, therefore

Osteomalacia of Very-Low-Birth-Weight Infants

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1984
Neonatal osteomalacia has received scant attention in the orthopedic literature, despite a reported incidence of 13-32% in very-low-birth-weight infants. This retrospective study focused on the calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D metabolism of 10 surviving infants up to 28 weeks old born over a 30-month period.

Rehospitalization of Very-Low-Birth-Weight Infants

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1988
Very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants are at high risk of mortality, morbidity, and rehospitalization in the first years of life, but little information is available to predict which VLBW infants are likely to require rehospitalization. This study describes a sample of 79 VLBW infants cared for in a charity hospital.

Improved outcome for very low birth weight multiple births

Pediatric Neurology, 2005
This study describes time trends for very low birth weight multiple births in relation to very low birth weight singletons. Two cohorts of very low birth weight (less than 1250 gm) children recruited between 1983-85 (cohort 1, n = 115) and 1992-94 (cohort 2, n = 144) were compared.
