Conclusion : Positive clinical ly meaningful effects ( > 5 points ) are seen to an age of 36 months , but are no longer present at 5 years
Objective : To determine in a systematic review , whether interventions for infant development that involve parents , improve neurodevelopment at 12 months corrected age or older .
An intervention program for mothers of low-birthweight infants: preliminary results.
Mothers of low-birthweight babies born at the Medical Center Hospital of Vermont during a 21-month period were r and omly assigned to experimental ( N = 34 ) and control ( N = 40 ) groups .
