Abstract

Authors' conclusions: the present study suggests that long-term difficulties are evident for general cognitive performance as well as for specific cognitive abilities in preterm subjects with intraventricular haemorhage in the newborn period. These data could explain the academic problems shown by these individuals.

Reviewers' comantary: adolescents who were preterm have learning and behavior difficulties. The presence of intraventricular hemorrhage in the perinatal period has been associated with poor educational performance, although the results of this study do not allow to confirm this aspect. To find out what factors are associated with the prognosis in childhood and adolescence prospective follow-up studies from birth should be conducted.
