(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

Breeman, L.D. (author), van der Pal, S. (author), Verrips, G.H.W. (author), Baumann, N. (author), Bartmann, P. (author), Wolke, D. (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
