“…In the literature, the existence of the major neurological handicaps in cases with SGA has been quite rarely reported 21,24,26 . In our study, no case diagnosed with cerebral palsy as in the literature was present; however, similar to the literature 14 these cases were more delayed in walk and talk than the control group.…”

The long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of infants born full-term with low birth weight

et al. 2017

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the neurological developments of preschool or school-aged children together with their school successes, intelligence quotient and symptom severity of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder who were born at the 37 th gestational week and above with birth weights below tenth percentile, which is called small for gestational age (SGA). A total of 74 patients with SGA and 75 healthy children were evaluated. The patients were evaluated by child neurologist and child psychiatrist. Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised, Ankara Developmental Screening Inventory, and The Turgay DSM-IV-Based Child and Adolescent Disruptive Behavioral Disorders Screening and Rating Scale (T-DSM-IV-S) were applied according to their age groups. SGA cases had been breastfed for shorter durations (p: 0.004), had walked later (p<0.001), talked later (p<0.001), and had encountered more vision disorders (p: 0.009) than the control group. SGA cases were determined to encounter febrile convulsions more frequently (p: 0.007). SGA cases were determined to exhibit lower school success (p<0.001), were diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder more frequently (p<0.001), and their mental developments were delayed (p<0.001). In cases with SGA, inattention (p: 0.004) and conduct disorder (p: 0.029) subscales and the total scale scores (p: 0.022) of T-DSM-IV-S were significantly lower when compared to the control group. We consider that being SGA may have a negative impact on child's behavior, attention and academic achievement in long-term.

“…In a review study, Lundgren and Tuvemo (2008) found that there is cumulative evidence suggesting an association between being born SGA and increased risk of lower intelligence, poor academic performance, low social competence, and behavioral problems compared to individuals born appropriate for gestational age. In another review on perinatal outcomes and later implications of intrauterine growth restriction, Pallotto and Kilbride (2006) reported that behavioral and emotional problems are more frequently found among children who were SGA.…”

“…Although a signifi cant proportion of SGA children are functioning within the normal range (Casey, Whiteside-Mansell, Barret, Bradley, & Gargus, 2006;Sommerfelt et al, 2001;Wiles et al, 2006;Winchester et al, 2009), the condition is related to a wide range of negative outcomes at school age, such as lower cognitive function, poor academic achievement, and more behavioral and mental health problems than children who are born appropriate for gestational age (Gallo et al, 2011;Guellec et al, 2011;Hollo et al, 2002;Indredavik, Vik, Heyerdahl, Kulseng, & Brubakk, 2005;Lundgren & Tuvemo, 2008;Pallotto & Kilbride, 2006;Pryor, Silva, & Brooke, 1995;Zubrick et al, 2000).…”

“…Nevertheless, developmental outcomes for this group are less clear and follow up studies still show confl icting results. Furthermore, methodological diffi culties related to the defi nition of this criterion have contributed to the controversy surrounding the relationship of SGA children to adverse outcomes (Gardosi, 2006;Goldenberg, Hoffman, & Cliver, 1998;Lundgren & Tuvemo, 2008;Pallotto & Kilbride, 2006).…”

The aim of this study is to investigate mental health problems in children born small for gestational age (SGA) and those born appropriate for gestational age (AGA) and to assess the association of these problems with child and family characteristics. Six hundred and seventy-seven children, belonging to a birth cohort from 1994 in Ribeirão Preto/SP (southeastern Brazil), were evaluated (140 SGA and 537 AGA). They were later reevaluated at school age (2004/2005) by means of the Strengths and Diffi culties Questionnaire for mental health assessment (parent report). Results showed that children born SGA presented greater frequency of behavioral problems and emotional symptoms compared to children born AGA. Variables associated with mental health problems in the univariate model were: male sex, children born SGA, low educational level of parents, socioeconomic disadvantage, and belonging to families with many members. However, in multivariate analysis, two factorsbeing born SGA and father's low educational level -lost their statistical signifi cance, and the other sociodemographic variables remained signifi cant (male sex, low-level of maternal education, low socioeconomic level, families with many members). It has been concluded that being born SGA was not independently associated with mental health problems, but sociodemographic factors proved to be the predictors of this type of problem in the cohort studied.
