School performance following invasive Group B Streptococcus disease in early infancy in Denmark
Among Danish school children, no overall difference was observed in school performance between children with a history of iGBS and comparators. However, iGBS-meningitis and preterm birth were linked to lower standardized test scores. This association was not observed in children who had iGBS-sepsis, unless they were also preterm.
