“…Mother's educational level across for the Galician sample was mostly of High School and above (GP4 or FT = 61%, GP2, PR with no NC-PVL = 84%) for both PR and FT infants [18,68] with a slightly higher educational level in the PR group. The Mexican samples were also predominantly composed of more than High School educated mothers (GP2 = 77%, GP3 = 76%) Thus, all samples consisted mostly of parents who had educational levels of High School or above educational.…”

“…Social and medical factors were similar (see below). The FT sample, Group 1 (GP1), was a referential group of Galician healthy, full term infants [18,68,70]. It consisted of 49 infants who were 10 months of age.…”

“…All participants in this study were part of larger projects in which multiple aspects of development were assessed with different instruments. Data using the other instruments have been published elsewhere [18,29,67,68,69]. Here we will only concentrate on results from the parental report of communicative abilities.…”

According to the World Health Association, 1 out of 10 babies worldwide are born prematurely or before the 37 th week of gestation. There is a higher percent of Preterm Births (PR) in less developed countries [1,2]. The study of PR infants has increased considerably over the last decade due to the fact that more babies survive because of advances in the medical field. In this study we address PR populations that share cultural and language roots in Mexico and Spain, for which

“…While even children born full-term with a history of hospitalization in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or with low Apgar scores are at higher risk of delays regarding word production, [25] this risk might more likely affect children born preterm with more or less long stays at a NICU. Several additional risk factors have been found that affect the language development of children born preterm: low Apgar scores, [27,28] low gestational age, [5,6,11,29] birth weight, [29,32] male sex, [10,11,30,31] medical complications, [33–36] and poor cognitive development. [9,36,37] The educational level of the mother has an influence on language development as well.…”

The influence of preterm birth on expressive vocabulary at the age of 36 to 41 months

et al. 2019

Children born preterm (PT) have a higher risk of language delays than children born full-term (FT). Expressive vocabulary plays a central role in language development, as later grammar ability can be predicted from earlier vocabulary size. To determine the effects of preterm birth on expressive vocabulary at the age of 36 to 41 months. Cross-sectional study of 27 PT (children with a gestational age of ≤ 32 + 0 weeks and/or a birth weight ≤ 1500 g) and 26 FT children (from several kindergartens in Vienna, Austria). The groups were matched regarding age, sex, and monolingual Austrian German speech. They were all examined using the active vocabulary test (AWST-R) and the development test, Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley-III). The AWST-R revealed significantly lower scores (46% vs 52%, P = .027) for PT children. The Bayley-III revealed significantly lower scores in language development (mean 96.3 ± 11.81 vs 105.1 ± 6.24, P = .002 ) and the expressive communication subscale (8.78 ± 2.01 vs 10.69 ± 1.49, P < .001) for PT children, but no differences in cognitive development (98.5 ± 11.08 vs 100.8 ± 6.43, P = .369) or on the receptive communication subscale (10.15 ± 2.23 vs 11.08 ± 1.09, P = .060). Preterm children tested had less expressive vocabulary (AWST-R and Bayley-III) than those born full-term, while test results in their cognitive development and receptive communication (Bayley-III) did not differ.
