Background Preterm birth can bring long-term complications on neurological development; there is an increased risk of psychiatric problems, motor and sensory abnormalities, developmental delay, and poor academic performance. Clinical trials evaluating the use of erythropoietin have demonstrated its effectiveness in neuroprotection. Objective Determine the efficacy of erythropoietin in improving the neurological development of preterm infants less than 32 weeks of gestation. Methods Systematic review of the scientific literature of articles published between 2004 and 2021. Search for original full-text papers, in databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Embase, for review and analysis. Results Seven studies met the selection criteria, all comparing erythropoietin vs. placebo. Erythropoietin was found to decrease the risk of mental development index (MDI) less than 70 (MDI<70), reduce the risk of cerebral palsy, and reduce the risk of some neurodevelopmental deficiency. However, it does not increase the psychomotor development index (PDI) less than 70 (PDI<70), it does not reduce the risk of mortality, it does not reduce the risk of visual impairment or hearing impairment, it does not increase the general MDI scores and it does not increase the overall PDI scores. Conclusions Erythropoietin has long-term benefits such as the decrease in infants with a mental development index (MDI) < 70, decreased risk of cerebral palsy and any adverse neurodevelopmental event (NDI).
