Factors associated with non-participation of preterm infants at two and five years in a large population-based French healthcare network.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAlthough recommended for the early identification and intervention for developmental impairments, monitoring of preterm infants over several years is hampered by loss of follow-up that inevitably occurs. This study aimed to assess the non-participation of preterm infants in their two- and five-year visits as well as associated factors.
methodsInfants born before 33 weeks of gestational age, who were enrolled between 2016 and 2022 in a prospective, population-based cohort in Paris area, France, and were eligible for their two- and five-year visits were selected. Among factors reflecting parental socio-economic characteristics, medical characteristics of the mother and her pregnancy, perinatal characteristics of the child, and contextual variables, those associated with the likelihood of non-participation in the two- or five-year visit were investigated using univariate and multivariable logistic regression models and multiple imputations.
resultsOf the 12,685 and 6,661 preterm infants followed-up at two- and five-years, respectively, 4,871 (38.4%) and 4,069 (61.1%) did not participate in the two- and five-year visits. Factors associated with non-participation in the two-year visit were more recent year of birth, younger maternal age, several children at home, lower educational level, mother unemployed or on parental leave, father with an intermediate occupation, tobacco during pregnancy, appropriate or large birth weight for gestational age, and birth in maternity unit other than inclusion. Conversely, factors associated with participation in the two-year visit were a pregnancy achieved by assisted reproductive technology, lower gestational age, postnatal corticosteroid prescription, administration of monoclonal antibodies against respiratory syncytial virus, a bronchopulmonary dysplasia, breastfeeding at discharge, a private or nonhospital referring physician, and living more than 10 km from the referring physician. Factors associated with non-participation in the five-year visit were almost identical.
conclusionFactors associated with non-participation of preterm infants within a healthcare network were found to be multidimensional. These findings are critical for the development of more intensive and individualized follow-up strategies for preterm infants.
