Gestational age and child development at school entry

Studies have reported a dose-dependent relationship between gestational age and poorer school readiness.

Linkage of population-level birth registration, hospital, and perinatal datasets to the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC), enabled follow-up of a cohort of 64,810 singleton children, from birth to school entry in either 2009, 2012, or 2015.
