Abstract
We report the first study conducted in Hong Kong looking at survival and neurodevelopmental outcomes of extremely preterm infants (EPI), which includes information on primary school entry. Survival rate to discharge in our single centre cohort was 65.9%. Surviving EPIs were at risk of developmental delay (48.4%), as well as psychiatric and behavioural disorders, necessitating referral to special education services. Nevertheless, the vast majority (90.2%) of EPIs in our cohort are able to attend mainstream primary schools.
