- Abstract
The article discusses a research study that aims to find out whether neonatal caffeine therapy has lasting benefits or newly apparent risks at early school age. Results of the study reveal that the combined outcome of death or disability was not significantly different for the children assigned to caffeine from that for the children assigned to placebo. The rates of death, behavior problems, deafness, motor impairment, poor general health, and blindness did not differ significantly between the two groups.
