Developmental Care Does Not Alter Sleep and Development of Premature Infants

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Objective. The Neonatal Individualized Developmental Care Program (NIDCAP) for very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants has been suggested by Als et al to improve several medical outcome variables such as time on ventilator, time to nipple feed, the duration of hospital stay, better behavioral performance on Assessment of Preterm Infants' Behavior (APIB), and improved neurodevelopmental outcomes. We have tested the hypothesis of whether the infants who had received NIDCAP would show advanced slee… Show more

“…In this meta-analysis, the longest follow-up period of a single study was two years of corrected age. 43 The mental indices in this study were in favor of the NIDCAP group but the difference was not statistically significant. However, this study was not dimensioned for the follow-up phase of the study and, thus the power of analysis was low.…”

“…The 25 eligible trials were readily divided into three pre-specified distinct categories of intervention: developmental care of a specific type known as NIDCAP (n ¼ 5 trials), [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] kangaroo care (n ¼ 1 trial) 38,50,51 and other developmental interventions (n ¼ 19 trials). 36, Of these, the first two categories involved in-patient care, whereas the third was applied in hospital and/or at discharge from hospital.…”

“…[10][11][12] As the NAPI is a finely discriminating tool it has been used in numerous research studies. [13][14][15][16] The purpose of this study was to investigate whether this early neurological examination is able to identify neurobehavioral differences between ELBW infants and VLBW preterm and whether it is correlated to neurobehavioral development as measured by the Bayley Infant Neurodevelopmental Screener (BINS) at 12 months and the Bayley II at 18 and 30 months. This study tests the hypotheses that neurobehavioral differences between ELBW and VLBW infants can be measured as early as 36 weeks PMA and these differences are sustained throughout the first 30 months of life.…”
