Visual acuity outcomes up to 12 years and risk factors for visual impairment in a national cohort of extremely preterm born children – The Extremely Preterm Infants in Sweden Study ( <scp>EXPRESS</scp> )
In this national cohort, the VA outcome at age 12 was lower in children born EPT than full-term controls. As eye examination at 2.5 years did not reliably identify visual impairment, clinical risk factors should be considered in the screening of children born EPT to early identify the visually impaired.
