To the Editor.
It was with much interest that we read the article by Wilson-Costello et al1 that reported the improved neurodevelopmental outcomes for extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants born in 20002002. This cohort included nearly 1500 children overall, with 233 children born in 20002002. More than 92% of the surviving children born in 20002002 were tested at follow-up.
