The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between preterm birth, glucose level in the first two hours of life and health related quality of life in the age of 8 months and 7 years
All premature infants treated from August 2013-August 2014 in two Neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are included in this study. Glucose levels was analyzed two hours after birth. In the age of 8 months parents completed the questionnaire Pediatric Quality of Life - Infant scale. The questionnaire Quality of life for children 5-7 years and for their parents will be offered to them in the next 4 months.
We will investigate if there is a correlation between glucose levels and quality of life in premature infants, and if quality of life changes over years.

| Comparison of glucose levels in prematures after birth and Quality of life in the age of 7 years | Glucose level was measured two hours after birth in all premature infants. In the age of 8 months and 7 years Quality of life was measured using the questionnaire Paediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL) - Infant scale (6-12 months). The PedsQL Young Child report (5-7 years) and Parent report for Young children (5-7 years) will be offered to one parent/caregiver. In both scales minimum value is zero and maximum is 100; Higher score means better quality of life. The correlation between glucose levels in premature infants and quality of life will be investigated. | 7 years |

In the age of 7 years the questionnaire PedsQL Young Child report (5-7 years) and Parent report for Young children (5-7 years) will be offered to parents/caregivers. The quality of life will be compared in these two intervals to investigate the changes in quality of life over time. |
