Background: Extremely low weight has been associated with a high risk of sequelae or Neurodevelopmental disorders, including personality disorders and emotional distress.Objective: to learn the differences in neurodevelopment at 2 and 4 years of infants with a weight ≤1500g. Material and Methods: observational, analytical retrospective, comparative study of a cohort of children with a birth weight ≤1500g compared with children >1500g who attended the Pediatric Follow-up at the National Institute of Perinatology. BSID II and the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale by Terman-Merril 4 th ed were used.Results: 128 patients were included in the comparative analysis; significant differences were found in MDI and PDI of BSID II. For the group ≤1500 g presented a higher incidence in behavior (Orientation, Commitment and/or Emotional Regulation).In the Intelligence Scale, the group of children <1500g at birth presented a statistically significant difference in all cognitive abilities and IQ.Conclusions: At two and four years of age, children weighing <1500 grams have lower scores in neurodevelopment when compared to the group >1500 grams. Behavioral problems are a factor that influences MDI and PDI at two years of age.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
