Abstract
This study investigated whether extremely low-birthweight (ELBW) babies, who at two years had no major handicaps, were at higher risk for intellectual and socio-emotional problems at five years than a control group of children with normal birthweights. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups. The ELBW children were language-delayed, and more active and more intense in their behaviour. There was a tendency for the ELBW children to be lighter and shorter than the controls, but their mean head-circumference was significantly smaller. In general, however, if no serious neurological, neurosensory or cognitive impairment is found among ELBW children at two years, later cognitive and socio-emotional development is likely to be within the normal range.
