Purpose
: This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of Korean Infant Development Screening Test in predicting delayed development in premature infants.
Methods

They were divided into two groups; a normal group and a patient(neurologically compromised) group.
Results
: At 7 months of conceptional age, the normal and patient groups differed significantly in the fine motor, cognitive-adaptive sections. At 12 months of conceptional age both group, differed significantly in the gross motor, fine motor, personal-social, language and cognitive-adaptive sections. At 18-24 months, the group, differed significantly in gross motor, fine motor, personal-social, language and cognitive-adaptive sections.
