Gestational Age and Birth Weight in Relation to School Performance of 10-Year-Old Children: A Follow-up Study of Children Born after 32 Completed Weeks

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND. Children born extremely premature (Ͻ28 weeks) or with a very low birth weight (Ͻ1500 g) have a poorer school performance than children born at term with a normal birth weight. Much less is known about children of higher gestational ages and birth weights. We studied gestational age after 32 completed weeks and birth weight in relation to the child's school performance at the age of 10 years
