The incidence of major handicaps among AGA and SGA/VLBW infants respectively, was 16\% and 6\%. No major handicap was found in the control group. The incidence of neurodevelopmental abnormalities (NDA) among AGA's (40\%) and SGA's (57.6\%) compared with the control group (31.7\%) was found to be significantly higher. School failure occurred more frequently among VLBW infants (22.9\%) and was related in children with NDA--and more particularly among AGA's--to the presence of language disorders or associated NDA. Evaluation of the consequences of NDA and school problems for later academic and professional achievement now requires further follow-up studies.
