Brief Summary: Background Iron deficiency in early childhood may impair neurodevelopment

Aim To examine whether early iron supplementation improved neurodevelopment in preterm infants

Method Children who participated in a clinical trial of iron supplementation were invited for a neurodevelopmental follow-up examination at the time of school entry
Detailed Description: Children with a birth weight of 1301g who participated in a randomized controlled trial of early versus late enteral iron supplementation were evaluated applying a standardized neurological evaluation the Kaufmann Assessment Battery for Children and the Gross Motor Function Classification Scale GMFCS at the age of school entry

Severe disability was defined as any of the following any abnormal neurological examination associated with a severely impaired mobility GMFCS1 severe cognitive impairment mental processing composite MPC 51 hearing loss requiring amplification or blindness The absence of disability was defined as normal neurological examination normal mobility GMFCS0 and normal cognitive development MPC85 and the absence of any severe hearing and visual impairment
