Study finds preterm-born children fit into three profiles, with different results in cognition and behavior tests
About 13 million babies each year are born prematurely, with preterm birth linked to increases in risk for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), problems with social development, and lower grades. A problem with past analyses of prematurity, however, is that they do not capture the variety seen in children born pre-term, including some with outcomes better than the average results for full- term children. Pre-term means birth before 37 weeks of gestation, with full term being 40 weeks.
