This is the first study on prematurity and outcomes in adolescence, conducted by Swedish researchers and published in Pediatrics in 2007. The second study, published in February in Pediatrics , with the same author (Aijaz Farooqi, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues), shows the relevance of the conclusions: that there is a preterm behavioral phenotype that can be seen in adolescents (see p. 1, bottom lead). The third, published in July in Pediatrics and focusing on behavioral issues in the teens, will be examined in next month's issue of CABL . The studies are important because they support the same concept: that prematurity can denote a phenotype with sequelae in adolescence which could be prevented or reduced.
