Objective. This study evaluated the impact of changes in perinatal management on
neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 18 to 22 months' corrected age of low gestation
(22–26 weeks) and higher gestation (27–32 weeks) extremely low birth weight infants (401–
1000 g birth weight) who were cared for in the National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development Neonatal Research Network during 3 epochs (1993–1994, 1995–1996, and
1997–1998). It was hypothesized that outcomes would improve over the 3 epochs. Methods …
