“…Ten studies [ 3 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ] reported neonatal neurological findings; two were review studies [ 14 , 18 ]. Papers are summarized in Table 1 .…”

“…The remaining two studies [ 16 , 17 ] explored a specific aspect of neurological performance. Ince et al [ 16 ] evaluated Moro reflex in 35 low-risk LP (13 males and 22 females) and 35 FT (20 males and 15 females), assessed at 48 h of birth. Moro reflex was objectively measured using a the three-axis accelerometer placed on the baby’s wrists and a web camera.…”

Background and Objectives: Late preterm (LP) infants (born between 34 and 36 weeks of gestational age) are considered at higher risk of neonatal morbidities, mortality, and neurological impairments than full-term born infants (FT). The aim of this study was to provide a critical review of the literature outlining the different aspects of neurological function reported both in the neonatal period and in the follow up of late preterm infants. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive search of the MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, and CINAHL electronic databases was made, using the following search terms: ‘Late preterm infants’, ‘Near term infants’, ‘neurological assessment’, ‘neurological outcome’, ‘neuromotor outcome’, cerebral palsy’, ‘CP’, ‘motor impairment’, including all the studies reporting clinical neurological assessment of LP (including both neonatal period and subsequent ages). Results: A total of 35 articles, comprising 301,495 children, were included as fulfilling the inclusion criteria: ten reported neonatal neurological findings, seven reported data about the first two years after birth, eighteen reported data about incidence of CP and motor disorder during the infancy. Results showed a more immature neurological profile, explored with structured neurological assessments, in LP infants compared with FT infants. The LP population also had a higher risk of developing cerebral palsy, motor delay, and coordination disorder. Conclusion: LP had a higher risk of neurological impairments than FT infants, due to a brain immaturity and an increased vulnerability to injury, as the last weeks of gestational age are crucial for the development of the brain.

Background: Preterm birth is defined as birth before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy. It is the most important predictor of adverse health and development infant outcomes that extend into the early childhood and beyond. It is also the leading cause of childhood mortality under 5 years of age worldwide and responsible for approximately one million neonatal deaths. It is also a significant contributor to childhood morbidities, with many survivors are facing an increased risk of lifelong disability and poor quality of life. Purpose: In this article, we aimed to describe features of preterm infants, what makes them different from term infants, and what to consider in nutritional management of preterm infants through a traditional narrative literature review. Discussion: Preterm infants are predisposed to more health complications than term infants with higher morbidity and mortality. This morbidity and mortality can be reduced through timely interventions for the mother and the preterm infant. Maternal interventions, such as health education and administration of micronutrient supplementation, are given before or during pregnancy and at delivery, whereas appropriate care for the preterm infants should be initiated immediately after birth, which include early breastfeeding and optimalization of weight gain. Conclusion: Essential care of the preterm infants and early aggressive nutrition should be provided to support rapid growth that is associated with improved neurodevelopmental outcomes. The goal is not only about survival but making sure that these preterm infants grow and develop without any residual morbidity.
