Taiwan Preterm Infant Database: Analysis and Comparison of Birth Conditions and Exploration of Prognostic Factors

The purpose of this study is to conduct a long-term follow-up of preterm infants with different birth conditions, aiming to provide data and resources for future care and to identify predictive and influencing factors related to their functional development over time. It is hypothesized that (1) preterm infants with varying birth conditions, such as birth weight and gestational age, will exhibit different developmental outcomes, and that the establishment of a Taiwan-specific preterm infant database is essential due to the lack of comprehensive local data and ethnic variations in gestational patterns; and (2) neonatal factors, including gestational age, birth weight, and postnatal complications (e.g., pneumonia, seizures, hypoxia), serve as potential risk factors influencing later developmental trajectories.
