Abstract
A risk index based on a variety of reproductive, perinatal and environmental variables was used to attempt to predict the development outcome of very low birthweight infants (birthweights < 1501 g). Preterm infants (41) and a demographically matched group of 42 full-term infants were studied. The McCarthy Scales of Children''s Abilities was administered to the children at 5 yr of age.
