Collection Strategies

Follow-up of the graduates of neonatal intensive care is an important component of the provision of such care. However, the objectives of these programs and their data-collection strategies vary widely. This report describes the potential objectives and different data-collection strategies. It then reviews briefly what is known about the outcomes of very low birth weight infants to guide the development of assessment packets: Finally, we describe the operation of our program and activities of our team to illustrate the follow-up experience in a large multi-institution program.

Newborn Period

The purpose of this study1 was not to identify any single variable that, by itself, could predict neurologic or developmental outcome in premature infants. Rather, it was to further investigate the previously published finding that acidosis was one of the factors in the newborn period that was influential in predicting poor motor performance and neurologic outcome at 2 years in very low birth weight infants.2 As stated in the introduction, we sought to determine whether it was the metabolic or respiratory component of acidosis that was associated with poor outcome.
