This issue of Pediatrics contains a meta-analysis by Qawasmi et al1 that is an evaluation of the effects of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) supplementation of infant formula on what is claimed to be measures of “infant cognition.” The analysis is based on performance of different dietary groups on the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID) at ages up to 18 months.

Few studies have addressed co-occurring methylmercury (MeHg) from maternal origin and ethylmercury (EtHg) from Thimerosal-containing vaccines (TCVs) during infant's neurodevelopment. We studied children (n=1139) from the Western Amazon based on combined (low, intermediate, and high) exposure to chronic MeHg from fish consumption and acute TCV- EtHg. Neurodevelopment outcomes were age of walking...

Concurrent and predictive validities of the Bayley Motor Scale and the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales were examined by administering both tests to 23 full-term and 21 healthy premature infants at 12, 15, and 18 months of age. For both groups, a correlation analysis of age-equivalent scores indicated Bayley scores had good to high correlation with Peabody gross motor scores (range, r = .78 t...

BACKGROUND Prenatal exposure to serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI) antidepressants has been associated with delays in early developmental milestones, but there remains uncertainty. Even among a subset of studies examining the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID), some have reported normal mental and psychomotor development while others have suggested a delay in motor development. Given an...

BACKGROUND Language disorder (LD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, and early diagnosis has an impact on speech therapy practice. The aim of this work is to test the usefulness of the Cognitive and Language scales of the Bayley-III in the early diagnosis of LD. METHOD In a longitudinal study, a clinical sample of 187 children with diagnostic hypothesis of communication disorders at 4.5 years ...
