“…These findings confirm the data from other follow up studies of very preterm SGA children (5)(6)(7)9). Apparently, attention is a vulnerable neuropsychological domain in very preterm SGA children.…”

“…Of note, in the EPIPAGE cohort, lower IQs were found in SGA children with GA 29-32 wk, whereas there was no such finding in SGA chil dren with GA 24-28 wk. Two other studies that found a poorer total and verbal IQ in SGA children included approximately the same number of children as our study did (9,10). One of these studies was performed in children 3 y of age (9) and the other in children 5 y of age (10).…”

“…Studies on very preterm SGA children are scarce, and the findings are contradictory. Some stud ies report lower IQ scores (6,9,10) and more behavioral problems or attention deficits in these children (9) as compared with con trols (6), whereas others have found no differences as regards behavioral problems and attention deficits (6,10). Cognitive impairment was restricted to verbal IQ only (10).…”

“…We expect that their func tional outcomes would be poorer than those of very preterm but appropriate for gestational age (AGA) children (6,9,10). The question is whether this poor functional outcome at school age can be attributed to preterm birth alone, or whether being born SGA poses additional risks.…”

Background: Our aim was to determine functional outcome of very preterm-born and small-for-gestational-age (sGa) children as compared with matched controls at school age. Methods: We included 28 very preterm sGa children (Ga <32 wk, birth weight (BW) <10th percentile), born in 2000-2001. We also included 28 very preterm but appropriate-forgestational-age (aGa) children, matched for Ga, gender, and birth year, as controls. We assessed motor skills, intelligence quotient (IQ), attention, verbal memory, visual perception, visuomotor integration, executive functioning, and behavior of both sets of children at school age. results: The sGa children had a median Ga of 29.7 wk and BW of 888 g, whereas the controls had a median Ga of 29.4 wk and BW of 1,163 g. at 8.6 y, the median total IQ of the sGa children was 94 as compared with 95 in the controls (not significant). Performance IQ was significantly lower in sGa children (89 vs. 95, P = 0.043), whereas verbal IQ was not (95 vs. 95). Total motor skills (P = 0.048) and fine motor skills (P = 0.021) were worse in sGa children. Furthermore, sGa children scored lower on selective attention (P = 0.026) and visual perception (P = 0.025). Other scores did not differ significantly between groups. conclusion: The differences we found between the groups were small. This suggests that the impaired functioning of very preterm-born sGa children is attributable to their having been born very preterm rather than to being sGa.

Mental retardation (MR) in children is a heterogeneous group of disorders with varied causes. This article describes well‐known causes of MR and epidemiologically established risk factors. Approximately 43–70% of children with severe MR (i.e., intelligence quotient [IQ] of <50) have a known cause of MR, compared with 20–24% of those with mild MR (IQ of 50–70). Investigators will need to continue refining research methods to define homogeneous groups for the further identification of causes of MR in children. Discovery of additional genetic factors and their causal link to MR will continue to diminish the proportion of MR with unknown causes. Areas of MR research that will be particularly challenging are (1) the relationship between socioeconomic factors and other risk factors or causes of MR and (2) how much of the variation in prevalence of MR associated with prenatal or perinatal biologic insults is due to differences in the quality of intervening care and the postnatal environment.
