First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 6,000 preterm and full-term infants from birth to age 3 to see how factors like birth weight and complications affect their thinking, language, and movement skills. Researchers will track growth and health to build a Taiwan-specific database, helping doctors predict and improve outcomes for preterm babies.
