This article outlines and explores the current literature available on long-term outcomes of extremely and very low birth weight infants. Recent literature is extremely relevant to the field of adolescent medicine since many adverse outcomes do not appear until much later in life; this high-risk population should be closely monitored for the development of these conditions.
