Very-Low-Birthweight Infants at Seven Years: An Assessment of the Health and Neurodevelopmental Risk Conveyed by Chronic Lung Disease.

Farel, Anita M.; Hooper, Stephen R.; Teplin, Stuart W.; Henry, Marianna M.; Kraybill, Ernest N.

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v31 n2 p118-26 Mar-Apr 1998

Assessment at age seven of 17 very low birthweight (VLBW) children who had chronic lung disease (CLD) at birth and 28 VLBW children without CLD found that, although CLD did not appear to confer much added risk to health, it did seem to add significantly to risks for poor school performance that are known to be associated with very low birthweights.
