(author)Evidence suggests that increased survival over the last decades of very preterm (VPT; gestational age < 32 weeks)– and very low birth weight (VLBW; birth weight < 1500 g)–born infants is not matched by improved outcomes. The objective of our study was to evaluate the reproductive rate, fertility, and pregnancy complications in 35-year-old VPT...article 2021

van der Pal, S.M. (author), Steinhof, M. (author), Grevinga, M. (author), Wolke, D. (author), Verrips, E. (author)Background: Several longitudinal cohort studies that follow participants who were born very preterm (VPT) or with a very low birth weight (VLBW) have now gathered outcome data at adult age. The current systematic review aimed to explore whether Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) of adults born VPT or VLBW differs from HRQoL of adults born...article 2019

(author)Purpose Although survival after very preterm birth (VP)/very low birth weight (VLBW) has improved, a significant number of VP/VLBW individuals develop physical and cognitive problems during their life course that may affect their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We compared HRQoL in VP/VLBW cohorts from two countries: The Netherlands (n =...article 2017

de Wilde, J.A.
