Surviving children were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit for an average of 75 days, and in some cases, they were treated for up to a year.
As a result of long-term follow-up, the diagnosis rates of cerebral palsy in 1.5 and 3 years old were 3.5% and 4.1%, respectively, down about 1 percentage point from a year ago.
In addition, the prevalence of prematurity retinopathy (28.8%), intracranial hemorrhage (35.5%), and neonatal dyspnea syndrome (72.2%), which are major complications experienced by very low-weight babies, all fell from a year ago.
