Behaviour and development in 24-month-old moderately preterm toddlers.
OBJECTIVE Moderately preterm children (gestational age 32-36+6 weeks) are at risk of cognitive and behaviour problems at school age. The aim of this study was to investigate if these problems are already present at the age of 2 years. STUDY DESIGN Developmental outcome was assessed at 24-months (corrected age) with the Bayley-III-NL in 116 moderately preterm (M=34.66 ± 1.35 weeks gestation) a...
متن کاملRisk of developmental delay increases exponentially as gestational age of preterm infants decreases.
AIM The aim of the study was to assess the influence of decreasing gestational age on the risk of developmental delay in various domains at age 4 years among children born at a wide range of gestational ages. METHOD In a community-based cohort, the parents of 1439 preterm-born children (24 0/7 to 35 6/7 wks) and 544 term-born children (38 0/7 to 41 6/7 wks') born in 2002 and 2003 completed th...
متن کاملRelations among upper-limb movement organization and cognitive function at school age in children born preterm.
OBJECTIVE To explore relations between aspects of upper-body spatiotemporal movement organization and intelligence in children born preterm at school age. METHODS Three-dimensional (3D) kinematic recordings of arm and head movements during a unimanual precision task were related to performance on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, 4th edition, in a sample of 32 children born preter...
متن کاملEffects of gestational age on brain volume and cognitive functions in generally healthy very preterm born children during school-age: A voxel-based morphometry study
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the relationship of gestational age (GA) with brain volumes and cognitive functions is linear or whether it follows a threshold model in preterm and term born children during school-age. STUDY DESIGN We studied 106 children (M = 10 years 1 month, SD = 16 months; 40 females) enrolled in primary school: 57 were healthy very preterm children (10 children born 24-27...
متن کاملPhysical Activity and Sedentary Behavior in Preterm-Born 7-Year Old Children
BACKGROUND Previous studies of preterm-born children (<37 weeks' gestation) have demonstrated decrements in lung function, exercise capacity, and increased respiratory symptoms compared to their term-born peers. However, it is unclear if these children have decreased levels of physical activity (PA) and increased sedentary behavior as a consequence of this increased respiratory morbidity. We th...
