Motor Developmental Status of Moderately Low Birth Weight Preterm Infants
OBJECTIVE Motor development is frequently reported to be impaired in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants, but little is known about the moderately low birth weight (MLBW) infants. The aim of this study was to investigate whether MLBW preterm infants present developmental delay. METHODS In a historical cohort study, 18±2 month-old infants with a history of low birth weight (LBW) were identifi...
متن کاملPreterm Delivery of Low-Birth-Weight Infants
Preterm delivery of low-birth-weight infants (PLBW) remains a significant public health issue and a leading cause of neonatal death and long-term neurodevelopmental disturbances and health problems. Recent epidemiological and microbiological–immunological studies have suggested that periodontal disease may be an independent risk factor for PLBW. Postulated mechanisms include translocation of pe...
متن کاملIron Nutrition in Low-Birth-Weight Infants
Since the early 1920s pediatric textbooks have recognized that infants often become anemic a few months after a preterm birth. However, except for its greater severity, the anemia does not differ in any way from that of full-term infants. It can be divided into an early and a late anemia of prematurity. The early anemia represents the initial fall in concentration of hemoglobin which occurs dur...
متن کاملPreterm Birth of Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants
Approximately 13% of births in the United States are preterm, defined as occurring before 37 weeks of gestation. This results in more than 540,000 infants a year born prematurely. In other words, one out of every 8 infants is born premature. Even more disturbing is that despite advances in neonatal and perinatal medicine, the incidence of prematurity has increased by 36% since the 1980’s. Over ...
متن کاملNeonatal physiological correlates of near-term brain development on MRI and DTI in very-low-birth-weight preterm infants
Structural brain abnormalities identified at near-term age have been recognized as potential predictors of neurodevelopment in children born preterm. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between neonatal physiological risk factors and early brain structure in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) preterm infants using structural MRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) at near-term age. S...
