(1) Background: The Ages and Stages Questionnaire—Third Edition (ASQ-3) is a parental screening questionnaire increasingly being used to evaluate the development of preterm children. We aimed to assess the classification performance of the ASQ-3 in preterm infant follow-up. (2) Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we included 185 children from the SEVE longitudinal cohort born p < 0.01). (4) Conclusions: Regarding the low sensitivity and the impact of a low maternal education level on the classification performance of the ASQ-3, this parental questionnaire should not be used alone to follow the development of preterm children
