Published in: Pediatric research (2024)

Children born very preterm with congenital anomalies experience poorer health-related quality of life (HRQoL) than their very preterm counterparts born without congenital anomalies. Increased severity of these anomalies compounds the negative impacts on HRQoL. Our findings can be used by stakeholders for clinical and planning purposes.
