“…Regarding family socioeconomic position, we did not find evidence that parental education level or low family income moderated the association between maternal depression and child development. While it has consistently been reported that disadvantaged mothers are disproportionately likely to experience psychological problems such as depression [35 , only a limited number of studies have examined the combined effect of maternal depression and socioeconomic status on children's cognitive functioning [7] . Results are mixed, with certain studies reporting that maternal depression and social disadvantage affect children's cognition independently [11; 25] , whereas other studies suggest that the effect of maternal depression is particularly pronounced when co-occurring with contextual risks [24] .…”

for The EDEN Mother–Child Cohort Study GroupInternational audienceBackground: This study assessed the association between timing and course of maternal depression from pregnancy onwards and children's cognitive development at ages 5 to 6. Potential interaction effects with child sex and family socioeconomic status were explored.Methods: One thousand thirty-nine mother–child pairs from the French EDEN mother–child birth cohort were followed from 24 to 28 weeks of pregnancy onwards. Based on Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CES-D) and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) scores assessed at six timepoints, longitudinal maternal depressive symptom trajectories were calculated with a group-based semiparametric method. Children's cognitive function was assessed at ages 5 to 6 by trained interviewers with the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence Third Edition (WPPSI-III), resulting in three composite scores: Verbal IQ (VIQ), Performance IQ (PIQ), and Full-Scale IQ (FSIQ).Results: Five trajectories of maternal symptoms of depression could be distinguished: no symptoms, persistent intermediate-level depressive symptoms, persistent high depressive symptoms, high symptoms in pregnancy only, and high symptoms in the child's preschool period only. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that, compared to children of mothers who were never depressed, children of mothers with persistent high levels of depressive symptoms had reduced VIQ, PIQ, and FSIQ scores. This association was moderated by the child's sex, boys appearing especially vulnerable in case of persistent maternal depression.Conclusions: Chronicity of maternal depression predicts children's cognitive development at school entry age, particularly in boys. As maternal mental health is an early modifiable influence on child development, addressing the treatment needs of depressed mothers may help reduce the associated burden on the next generation

“…However, the study suggests that gestational age, low weight at birth and gender may be more influential in the long term in these children, thus being necessary to monitor this population -as has been observed in other studies reviewed (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29) . These results evidenced the importance of monitoring these children from birth, although none of them followed-up on psychological factors such as those proposed by Kupfer et al (39) , indicated as closely related to language acquisition (40) .…”

“…Only infants having Spanish as mother tongue presented lower scores when assessed by the Bayley in English, in cases where the latter was their second language (17) . Psychosocial aspects such as maternal mood, particularly maternal depression during the first six months after birth, were not associated with language abnormalities at 18 months according to the Bayley Scales (16) . In assessing performing functions and their relation to language, several studies indicated a positive correlation between attention abnormalities and other performing functions and poorer language performance (22,27) , having also related it to lower gestational age (27) and poorer nonverbal learning (27) .…”

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar quais os prejuízos a prematuridade causa à linguagem e à audição. Estratégia de pesquisa Utilizou-se os descritores language/linguagem, hearing/audição, prematurity/prematuridade nas bases de dados LILACS, MEDLINE, Biblioteca Cochrane e Scielo. Critérios de seleção Ensaios randomizados controlados, estudos de intervenção não randomizados e estudos descritivos (transversais, de coorte, projetos de caso-controle). Análise dos dados Os artigos foram avaliados independentemente por dois autores, conforme os critérios de seleção. Foram selecionados 26 estudos, sete publicados no Brasil e 19 na literatura internacional. Resultados Dezenove estudos fizeram comparação entre nascidos a termo e prematuros. Dois dos estudos fizeram comparações entre prematuros pequenos para idade gestacional e adequados para idade gestacional. Em quatro estudos a amostra era composta de crianças com prematuridade extrema, os demais trabalhos foram realizados em crianças com prematuridade acentuada e moderada. Nestes estudos, foram utilizados, para análise da audição, as Emissões Otoacústicas, o Potencial Evocado de Tronco Encefálico, a timpanometria, o Potencial Evocado Auditivo de Estado Estável e audiometria de reforço visual. Para avaliação de linguagem, a maioria dos artigos utilizou a Escala Bayley de Desenvolvimento Infantil. Observou-se na maioria dos estudos revisados a prematuridade relacionando-se direta ou indiretamente à aquisição de habilidades auditivas e de linguagem nos primeiros anos de vida. Conclusão Dessa forma, pôde-se constatar que a prematuridade bem como os aspectos relacionados a ela (idade gestacional, baixo peso e intercorrências ao nascer) influenciam a maturação da via auditiva central podendo causar efeitos negativos na aquisição da linguagem.

The chronicity and timing of prenatal and antenatal maternal depression and anxiety on child outcomes at age 5

Background Maternal depression and anxiety have been associated with deleterious child outcomes. It is, however, unclear how the chronicity and timing of maternal mental health problems predict child development outcomes. The aim of the current study was to assess the effect of both chronicity and timing of maternal anxiety and depression in pregnancy, infancy, and the toddler period on children's internalizing and externalizing symptoms, as well as social and communication skills at age 5. Method Participants were 1,992 mother–child pairs drawn from a large prospective pregnancy cohort. Mothers reported on anxiety and depression symptoms with clinical screening tools at six time points between <25 weeks gestation and 3 years postpartum. Child outcomes were assessed at age 5. Results Effect sizes were small for brief incidents of depression/anxiety and increased for intermittent and chronic problems (i.e., three or more timepoints) compared with mothers who had never experienced clinical‐level anxiety or depression. Maternal anxiety/depression during pregnancy, infancy, and toddlerhood predicted all child outcomes, even after controlling for depression/anxiety during the other timepoints. However, maternal anxiety and depression during toddlerhood had a stronger association with child internalizing/externalizing symptoms and communication skills than either prenatal or postpartum depression/anxiety. Conclusions Increasing number of exposures to clinical‐level anxiety and depression is related to poorer child outcomes. Neither prenatal nor postpartum periods emerged as “sensitive” periods. Rather, maternal depression and anxiety during toddlerhood was more strongly associated with child outcomes at age 5. Results highlight the need for continued support for maternal mental health across early childhood.
