      ab: This article reviews the problem of maintaining contact with high-risk infants from the inner city of Chicago. While developmental follow-up programs successfully reassess 57% of infants discharged from suburban neonatal intensive care units in tertiary care hospitals, only 26% of the infants discharged from urban neonatal intensive care units in tertiary care hospitals are followed developmentally. A developmental screening program in inner city community health clinics identified 115 infants (20%) aged from birth to 3 years whose development appeared to be delayed out of a population of 579 presumed normal infants whose mothers completed the screening questionnaire. These preliminary data indicate that considerably higher incidences of developmental delays should be projected for the populations in the inner cities of large urban areas relative to the greater metropolitan areas.
