ABSTRACT
As survival of infants born extremely preterm increases, more are now reaching adulthood. It is well documented that survivors born extremely preterm experience more developmental delay and disability in multiple domains compared with term-born controls in early childhood and school age. However, with increasing age, health problems involving physical and mental health become more evident. Despite these challenges, it is reassuring that self-reported quality of life remains good. Future directions of research include development of age-appropriate interventions to optimise health and development of individuals born extremely preterm beyond school age.
