“…These poorer developmental outcomes may at least partially reflect alterations in the development of stress-sensitive systems. In children born extremely premature, we found heightened behavioral stress responses to cognitive challenge involving novelty both in the preschool years (Grunau, 2003) and in later childhood (Whitfield, Grunau, & Holsti, 1997), as well as a higher prevalence of anxiety-related behavior in adolescence (Grunau et al, 2004b;Levy-Shiff, Einat, Mogilner, Lerman, & Krikler, 1994), compared to full-term controls of comparable socio-demographic background. These observations of heightened stress and anxiety behavior in preterm populations are consistent with animal studies showing poor stress regulation in adult rats exposed to early life stress (Meaney, 2001).…”

There is evidence that the developmental trajectory of cortisol secretion in preterm infants is altered, with elevated basal cortisol levels observed postnatally through at least 18 months corrected age (CA). This alteration is possibly due to neonatal pain-related stress. High cortisol levels might contribute to greater risk of impaired neurodevelopment. Since maternal factors are important for the regulation of infant stress responses, we investigated relationships between infant (neonatal painrelated stress, attention, cortisol) and maternal (stress, interactive behaviors) factors at age 8 months CA. We found that interactive maternal behaviors buffered the relationship between high neonatal pain-related stress exposure and poorer focused attention in mothers who self-reported low concurrent stress. Furthermore, in preterm infants exposed to high concurrent maternal stress and overwhelming interactive maternal behaviors, higher basal cortisol levels were associated with poor focused attention. Overall, these findings suggest that maternal factors can influence the cognitive resilience at 8 months of preterm infants exposed to early life stress.

“…Sameroff and Chandler 1975, Escalona 1982, Werner 1993, Bendersky and Lewis 1994. Similarly, recent research on ex-special care babies (term or preterm) indicates that sociodemographic factors have a far greater effect on long-term cognitive outcomes than biological risk factors as the children grow older (Wolke 1993;Censullo 1994;Forfar et al 1994;Levy-Shiff et al 1994;Cohen 1995;Hack et al 1995;Wolke 1997aWolke , 1998b. Our results show that SES was related to all cognitive and language scores.…”

The prevalence of intellectual-, language-, and prereadingskill deficits was investigated in a geographically defined whole-population sample of very preterm children at 6 years of age in southern Germany. The sample consisted of the following: 264 very preterm children (75.6% of Germanspeaking survivors); 264 term controls (matched for sex, socioeconomic status [SES], marital status and age of mother); and a representative normative sample for Bavaria (N=311). Compared with term peers, very preterm children scored significantly lower (approximately -1 SD) on the measures of cognitive and language skills and had major cognitive deficits (<-2 SD) 10 to 35 times more often than the controls. Deficits in speech articulation and prereading skills (<10th centile) were three to five times more frequent in very preterm children. More than 18% of very preterm children had cognitive deficits in more than five areas of functioning, compared with no control children. The differences between very preterm children and controls remained highly significant when only very preterm children (N= 229) and controls (N= 261) without major neurosensory impairment were considered. Little evidence for specific cognitive deficits was found once mental processing measured in the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) was controlled for. The effect of preterm birth on cognitive abilities was found to be larger than the influence of SES. In conclusion, there was a high prevalence of long-term multiple cognitive problems in very preterm children. These persistent cognitive problems appear to be of pre-or neonatal (treatment) rather than postnatal social origin.

.-l/j/n* < í M S r h it t h rA cohort of 946 children who were screened for otitis media with effusion (OME) from the ages of S to 4 were studied for language» reading, and spelling at 7 years of age. The effects of OME in combination with single risk factors and with ♦ An interaction with an additional risk factor was found only for gender and OME, with boys' spelling influenced negatively by a history of OME, OME in combination with preterm birth and low birthweight also appears to put children at risk for later langauage and educational problems* Although a negative linear relation between the number of risk factors and later functioning was found, it is suggested that OME, t produces only minor effects on later language, reading, and spelling.O titis media with effusion (OM R) is one of th e most com m on iseases in earlv childhood. it is also considered a-risk factor ior latersp eech , language, an d associated learning problems, because it is accom panied by a loss of conductive hearing (Silva et al. 19tt(5 OMR to later language an d educational problem s art1 nevertheless conflicting.
