Early predictors of cognitive trajectories from birth to adolescence in children born extremely preterm

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
At 2 years, 10 years, and 15 years, the presence of early white matter injury (WMI) moderated associations between lower social risk and cognitive functioning in the social disadvantage index group x WMI interactions for combined abilities. Findings suggest that the benefits of low social risk were present in those without early WMI, but are ...

Predictive utility of a simple cranial magnetic resonance imaging score at term‐equivalent age for cerebral palsy

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the Total Abnormality Score (TAS) from cMRI at term‐equivalent age as a predictor of cerebral palsy (CP) in 137 infants born preterm or with low birthweight. Infants who developed CP had significantly higher TAS values (median 11 vs 2), with a TAS cut‐off of 9.5 demonstrating high sensitivity (88.9%) and specificity (91.4%) for CP ...

Neonatal azithromycin administration to prevent infant mortality: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial. [PDF]

, 2019
IntroductionBiannual mass azithromycin distribution to children aged 1-59 months has been shown to reduce all-cause mortality. Children under 28 days of age were not treated in studies evaluating mass azithromycin distribution for child mortality due to ...

From early stress to 12-month development in very preterm infants: Preliminary findings on epigenetic mechanisms and brain growth [PDF]

, 2018
Very preterm (VPT) infants admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) are at risk for altered brain growth and less-than-optimal socio-emotional development.

Motor skills and outcomes of activities and participation in children and adults born preterm without cerebral palsy: A systematic review

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
This is the first systematic review of the associations between motor skills and outcomes of activities and participation within the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework in children and adults born preterm without cerebral palsy. Motor skills were associated with attention and academic

Longitudinal assessment of the lung mechanics of very low birth weight preterm infants with and without bronchopulmonary dysplasia

São Paulo Medical Journal
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Prematurity has been correlated with altered lung mechanics. Some infants develop lung injury as a consequence of lung immaturity, invasive mechanical ventilation and exposure to oxygen, thus resulting in bronchopulmonary ...

Features of the Physical Development of Children with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

Zdorovʹe Rebenka, 2013
We observed 131 children (269 cases) with a diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. It is found that children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia are characterized by a delay in weight gain (73.9 ± 2.8 %, p < 0.0001), height (54.8 ± 3.2 %, p < 0.001) and ...
