Annually, about 15 million babies are born under the 37th week of pregnancy. Technological improvements in Neonatal Intensive Care Units and the development of evidence\-based medicine have become the main factors that have increased the survival rate of premature babies in the last 2\-3 decades. Scientific reports inform us about the risk of premature birth, from severe neurological complications to minor disorders of psychomotor development. There are relatively few studies devoted exclusively to assessing the development of preterm babies without serious pulmonary and neurological complications. Objective of the work The main aim of the study was to evaluate the functional development of 2\-year\-old children born without serious preterm birth complications and who were hospitalized at a level III reference center after birth. Material and methods The study group consisted of 109 children aged 2 to 2,5 years old and their guardians. The group of premature babies comprised a total of 76 subjects, while the control group of babies born at full term comprised 32 subjects. Premature babies were divided into 3 groups according to the week of pregnancy end\: very premature babies \(n=29\), moderately premature babies \(n=32\) and late premature babies \(n=16\).
