Data Collection Event
2 Year Follow Up
At 2 years of age, participants were examined by a pediatrician at a local pediatric department and parents completed questionnaires. A clinical examination was performed including anthropometric measurements (height, weight, head circumference), vision and hearing assessment, assessment of gross and fine motor function, neurological status, mental development assessed using milestones, respiratory history and assessment, gastrointestinal history and symptoms, gastrointestinal assessment, and questions on eating habits and difficulties.
The parental questionnaires provided information on hospital admissions, respiratory morbidity and treatment, psychomotor development including milestones, nutrition and nutritional difficulties, and socioeconomic and family factors (including siblings, parental education, smoking, and type of jobs).
