      dysplasia.

AB  - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the cognitive performance and educational attainment at 
      school-age of children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), compared with a 
      preterm control group of children. METHODS: Seventy preterm infants with BPD and 
      61 birth weight matched controls were prospectively followed-up to school-age. 
      The Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children - III (WISC), the Wide Range 
      Achievement Test (WRAT) and the Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration 
      (VMI) were administered. The results were compared between the two groups and 
      multiple regression analyses were performed to determine the effect of 
      confounding variables. RESULTS: The children in the BPD group performed less well 
      on the Full Scale IQ (mean 86.7 vs 93.5; 95% CI, 1.9-11.7), Verbal IQ (mean 87.1 
      vs 94.1; 95% CI, 2.0-12.0) and the Performance IQ (mean 88.6 vs 95.2; 95% CI, 
      2.0-11.2) of the WISC, the reading component of the WRAT (mean 93.8 vs 98.9; 95% 
      CI, 0.3-9.8) and the VMI (mean 88.9 vs 93.3; 95%, CI 1.1-7.8). Despite 
      controlling for social and biological variables, statistical differences 
      persisted for Full Scale and Verbal IQ and reading. A Verbal IQ >1 SD below the 
      mean was found in 41% of BPD children compared to 21% of controls, while on the 
      reading component of the WRAT a greater proportion of BPD children also had 
      scores>1 SD below the mean. CONCLUSION: Impaired psychoeducational performance 
      was found in preterm children with BPD compared to controls, especially in the 
      areas of language abilities and reading skills. This supports a greater need for 
      special educational services and counseling for parents for these children.
