  6. 4. School-age outcomes of children born at the limit of viability : a Swedish national prospective follow-up study at 10 to 12 years

Studies of school-age outcomes in children with an extremely low birth weight of < 1000 g, born in the1980s, indicated that these children had a substantially high prevalence of low-severity neuropsychological deficits, behavioral problems, and difficulties at school.
