Mean z scores for both height and weight were below 0 for ELBW survivors (weight: \u22120.35; height: \u22120.55) compared with control participants (weight: 0.40; height: 0.28). However, among ELBW survivors, significant catch-up growth occurred in both parameters between age 8 and adolescence but remained stable among control participants. ELBW survivors had a higher prevalence of visual problems (57% vs 21%), seizures (7% vs 1%), developmental delay (26% vs 1%), learning disabilities (34% vs 10%), and hyperactivity (9% vs 2%) and used more specialists and community resources than did control participants.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions.<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Although physical growth continues to be compromised and substantial morbidity remains among ELBW survivors at adolescence, there seems to be some catch-up growth, a reduction in the prevalence of acute health problems, and a decrease in the utilization of medical resources.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.108.2.407","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,8,13]],"date-time":"2004-08-13T23:55:51Z","timestamp":1092441351000},"page":"407-415","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":147,"title":["Physical Growth and Current Health Status of Infants Who Were of Extremely Low Birth Weight and Controls at Adolescence"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"108","author":[{"given":"Saroj","family":"Saigal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics, McMaster University, Hamilton, and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Barbara L.","family":"Stoskopf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics, McMaster University, Hamilton, and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David L.","family":"Streiner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Burrows","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Institute of Public Health, Melbourne, Australia."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2001,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021121006110466700_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"40","DOI":"10.1001\/archpedi.1992.02160130042019","article-title":"Very low birth weight and growth to age 8 years.
