Follow-up at two years of age and early predictors of non-compliance in a cohort of very preterm infants
2017, Early Human DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :Social and health policies affecting maternal educational attainment, maternal health and income, and parental time disposition may be therefore important factors to take into consideration to improve attendance rates. Even though relationship between attrition and perinatal conditions are not consistently found in different studies [14,31–34], in our cohort, infants presenting high-risk birth characteristics such as a lower gestational age and birthweight, and SGA were more prone to attend evaluation. It was also the case for sicker infants during the neonatal course, as indicated by the higher rates of neonatal morbidities related to prematurity in attending infants.
