Editorial: Follow up of NICU graduates: Neurodevelopmental Status and Handicaps
Several studies during last two decade have reported an increasing survival rate of high-risk neonates discharged from neonatal intensive care units (NICU)(l-4). In developed countries this has been achieved mainly due to decreasing mortality of very low birth weight ( < l 500gm) and extremely low birth weight babies (
