Specific cognitive correlates of the quality of life of extremely preterm school-aged children without major neurodevelopmental disability.

CONCLUSIONS: School and health care professionals need to increase their focus on EPT children's lower so as to recognize the preterm behavioral/cognitive phenotype and their potential need for supportive measures. Research on preventive interventions is warranted to investigate if these long-term effects of an EPT birth can be attenuated in neonatal period and after.
