The overall aim of this project is to improve the health, development and quality of life of children and adults born very preterm
(VPT, < 32 weeks of gestation) or very low birth weight (VLBW, < 1500g birth weight). VPT/VLBW births constitute fewer than
2% of all births across Europe, but they account for up to half of perinatal and infant deaths, children with impairments and
disabilities and more than a third of the health and educational budgets for children.
