Abstract EN
All over the the world, preterm birth is a major cause of death and important neurodevelopmental disorders.
Approximately 9.6% (12.9 million) births worldwide are preterm.
Evidence Acquisition: In this review, databases such as PubMed, EMBASE, ISI, Scopus, Google Scholar and Iranian databases including Iranmedex, and SID were researched to review relevant literature.
A comprehensive search was performed using combinations of various keywords.
Results: Cerebral palsy especially spastic diplegia, intellectual disability, visual (retinopathy of prematurity) and hearing impairments are the main neurodevelopmental disorders associated with prematurity.
Conclusions: The increased survival of preterm infants was not associated with lower complications.
There is now increasing evidence of sustained adverse outcomes into school age and adolescence, for preterm infants
