Popis: Morbidity and mortality of these preterm infants weighing1000 g at birth was reported in another paper. The mortality and neuro-developmental prognosis improved clearly in the last 3 years. A particular attention is given for protecting these babies against brain lesions. These ELBW have a high risk of neurodevelopmental disturbances. Therefore, a multidisciplinary team follows the neurological evolution to assess the quality of neonatal care and detect and treat developmental abnormalities as early as possible. We present the weight and height evolutions, the neurological, social and familial outcome of our 15 survivors. Economical and ethical discussions are open.
