Peer reviewedTaylor, H. Gerry; Klein, Nancy; Minich, Nori M.; Hack, Maureen – Child Development, 2000
Compared outcomes of middle-school-age children born at very low (less than 750-g) or low birthweights (750 to 1,499-g) and full-term. Found that the very-low-weight group fared less well at school age than the low weight and term groups on cognitive functioning, achievement, behavior, and academic performance.
