Goals of the Study
What did we hope to achieve?
We wanted to work out:
- How healthy the EPICure children were as they approached adolescence.
- The relationship between problems the EPICure children had at 10 years old and what happened around the time of birth and on the Baby Unit.
- Whether children who had problems at 2.5 and 6 years old still had problems at 10 years old.
- Whether the EPICure children had breathing problems and, if so, how this relates to how sick they were as babies.
- We wanted to find out about the children’s concentration and problem solving skills and if this affects their behaviour.
- How the children’s family life affects their thinking and behaviour.
- How some of the children’s genes may affect their thinking, behaviour and whether they have breathing problems. Read More>
