Neurodevelopmental Outcome of Late Preterm Infants at 12 Months of Age
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Background: Late-preterm infants (34-36+6 weeks’ gestation) are often believed to have no higher risks for morbidity and mortality than term infants. This study aims to evaluate the neurodevelopmental outcome of late preterm infants at 12 months of age, compared to term infants. Methods: Neurodevelopmental assessment was administered using the Bayley Scale of Infant Development. Eighty participants, including 40 late preterm and 40 term infants were included. Results: At 12 months of age, the neurodevelopmental assessments of late preterm infants adjusted for prematurity showed no difference from those of term infants. However, without adjusting for prematurity, late preterm infants had a significantly lower Mental Developmental Index and Psychomotor Developmental Index scores than term infants. Conclusion: The findings in this study reveal that late preterm infants had not completed their developmental maturation at 12 months of age. Monitoring these children may help in the early identification of developmental problems and provide appropriate intervention.

The aim of this study was to evaluate KL-6 and CC16 levels and their correlation with neurodevelopmental outcome among very low birth weight pre-term infants at 12 months corrected age. This prospective cohort study was performed from 2011 to 2013 by enrolling pre-term neonates of gestational age ≤ 32 weeks and birth weight ≤ 1500 g. Serum KL-6 and CC16 levels were determined 7 days after birth...

Background: Therapeutic hypothermia has become an established protocol for all neonates with moderate to severe Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE). There are very few studies comparing the neurodevelopmental outcomes in asphyxiated neonates who received therapeutic hypothermia or did not. This study aimed to assess the neurodevelopmental outcomes of asphyxiated neonates with features of HIE...
