A questionnaire about child development had been mailed to the parents.

Forty-five children of suspected delay group and 47 children of control group were responded to the follow-up survey, In the follow-up survey, Suzuki Binet Intelligence Scale was administered and child psychiatrists made Developmental Assessment. Furthermore, investigators assessed needs for supports of the parents.
Average IQ of the suspected delay group wad 102 (n=45) and that of the control group was 117 (n=47), According to the results of the developmental assessment at the age of three, three of the suspected delay group were moderately retarded, 14 mildly retarded, 12 on the borderline and 14 normally developed. Seven of them were judged hyperactive. Forty-six of the control group were normally developed and only one of them was mildly retarded.
