Journal of perinatology · Aug 2026 · Q1 in Pediatrics

Purpose

To assess whether neighborhood opportunity is associated with language, cognitive, and motor outcomes among NICU graduates.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 103 infants followed in a NICU follow-up clinic in New York City (2021-2022).

n = 103 infants

Results

higher social and economic opportunity predicted better motor scores

Language

7.1β

Motor

6.48β

More results

Infants residing in lower-opportunity neighborhoods had lower BSID-IV scores.

“

Conclusion

Lower neighborhood opportunity, particularly within the social and economic domain, is associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes among NICU graduates.
