We have performed a comparative study of the development characteristics of infants with very low birth weight (WLBW) and extremely low birth weight (ELBW) during the first year of life. We studied 75 severely premature infants aged under 12 months: 45 of them had very low birth weight (first group), 30 of them had extremely low birth weight (second group). 30 mature infants made up a reference group. Health status assessment was done at the age of 6 and 12 months. We analyzed factors of anthropometry and psychomotor development, sickness rate, results of examinations made by medical specialists and results of monthly in-depth medical examinations. We found out that physical and neuropsychic development of severely immature infants during the first year of life varied in accordance with the birth body weight. Infants with extremely low birth weight showed much higher growth rate. 80 % of infants with ELBW and 68,9 % of infants with VLBW achieved the level of development of mature infants during the first year of life. Infants with ELBW showed better results of psychomotor development than infants with VLBW after their birth. During the first year of life neuropsychic development factors for 33,3 % of ELBW infants and 22,7 % of VLBW infants were normal for their age. Serious disabling diseases were more common in the ELBW group: 13,3 % of first-year infants in ELBW group had disabilities compared to just 3,3% of infants from ELBW group. Analysis of the results helped us identify interdependence between health status and development dynamics on the one side and birth body weight on the other side for severely immature infants during the first year of life.
