Zusammenfassung:AimTo investigate the association between gestational age (GA) and grade point averages by domains of language and mathematics at the end of lower secondary education.MethodsA nationwide register‐based study including all Danish children born in 1992–1997 who completed lower secondary education. Grades were evaluated by GA. Domain‐specific differences in grades were investigated, and academic profiles were made.ResultsThe study population comprised 319 796 children. For language, only minor differences in grades were observed. The grades in mathematics ranged from 7.02 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 7.00–7.04) at GA = 40 weeks to 5.86 (95% CI: 5.61–6.11) at GA
