Objective: To investigate the association between small-for-gestational age (SGA) and neurocognitive impairment at 2 years of corrected age among infants born at preterm gestational ages. Study Design: A secondary analysis of a prospectively conducted NICHD/Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units BEAM trial. Non-anomalous pregnancies delivered before 37 weeks of gestation were included in the analysis. Neurocognitive outcomes at 2 years of corrected age were compared between infants who were SGA ( Results: Of 2299 preterm neonates 67 (3%) were SGA. SGA infants were more often twin pregnancies (31% vs 17%, P=0.003) and delivered more often by cesarean section (63% vs 40%, P Conclusion: In this cohort, SGA at preterm gestational ages was associated with similar rates of neurocognitive impairment at two years of corrected age among surviving infants.
