“…Family burden in the latter study was not related to the child's age. Other studies failed to observe adverse consequences of LBW in families of young children or even found evidence for positive family impact (Lee, Penner, & Cox, 1991;Schraeder, Heverly, O'Brien, & McEvoy-Shields, 1992;Teplin, Burchinal, Johnson-Martin, Humphrey, & Kraybill, 1991).…”

Recent advances in perinatal care have led to the survival of increasing numbers of children born at the lower limits of viability. Children with very low birth weight (LBW; less than 1,500 g, 3 lb 5 oz) have been studied extensively. Findings document poorer outcomes relative to normal birth weight term-born controls in neurologic and health status, cognitive-neuropsychological skills, school performance, academic achievement, and behavior. This report reviews current knowledge regarding LBW children, with special emphasis on outcomes for children with birth weight less than 750 g (1 lb 10 oz). Results from an ongoing longitudinal study suggest a gradient of sequelae, with poorer outcomes in less than 750 g birth weight children compared to both 750 g to 1,499 g birth weight children and term-born controls. Children with less than 750 g birth weight fail to catch up with their peers over time and may even be at risk for age-related increases in sequelae. Outcomes are highly variable but related to neonatal medical complications of prematurity and social risk factors. Further research is needed to understand the etiology and neuropathological basis of sequelae, the long-term developmental implications of LBW, and treatment needs.

“…The healthy preterm group scores were more like the control group in gross motor and fine motor function, and more like the preterm groups (SPT, SGA, NPT) in visual motor integration. In areas such as visual motor integration in particular, preterm infants consistently show perceptual performance weakness (Mutch, Leland, & Mc-Gee, 1993;Schraeder, Heverly, O'Brien & McEvoy-Shields, 1992b;Teplin, Burchinal, Johnson-Martin, Humphry, & Kraybill 1991). Beery VMI scores have been shown to be lower in VLBW children in most studies that have used this measure (Schraeder, 1993).…”

The twofold purpose of this study was to compare motor function in preschool children born with varying degrees of medical risk and to determine the independent contribution to motor function of three domains of ecological influence. One hundred and eighty-four 4-year-old children and their mothers participated. Three predictor sets, proximal, distal, and child, and four motor outcomes were measured by multiple methods. Children born prematurely scored lower on all dimensions of motor function. Prematurity complications had a different effect on motor function. Hierarchical regression models explained 16-40% of motor score variance. Results are discussed in relation to heterogeneity of prematurity and ecological influences on motor outcomes.
