Purpose: Study the long-term prognosis of late premature in the pre-school period in the neurological and developmental fields. Method: Intensive care for newborns born in our hospital to work II-III. The level unit was monitored, pregnancy age was taken at 320/7-336/7 week average, 340/7-366/7 late and early premature less than 32 weeks respectively. During the study, the age of the incidents was 37-45 months (medium 42±3 months). Results: 240 late to work and 163 early prematures were taken. The average pregnancy age and birth weight of late prematurities were 35.32±1.13 weeks and 1865±403 g, while the early group was 30.38±1.73 weeks and 1253±310 g. The results were evaluated in an average of 42 months. The major neurological sequel rate was significantly low compared to the early premature group in late prematures (p=0.001). According to the results of the Denver Developmental Scanning Test, 10.8% of late prematures were detected with delay in 18.4% of the early group, the result was meaningful (p=0.001). In the socio-economic cultural score, there was no statistically meaningful relationship between parental education, income level and delayed Denver II. The result: late prematurities should be prevented from being born with term perception, the births should be given a chance of early treatment and rehabilitation by long-term monitoring such as early prematurities.
