“…These findings were comparable to those reported by in an Indian tertiary care teaching hospital [31]. Also, LPT neonates had significantly lower birth weight and head circumference, which agrees with some earlier reports [12,32]. Accordingly, the incidence of 11.4% of SGA was significantly higher in LPT neonates compared with the FT group; this was comparable to the results of Araújo et al [33] as about one quarter of the LPT neonates in their study were SGA.…”

Background: The incidence of preterm births is increasing and has become a global health concern. This study aimed to compare the outcome of late preterm (LPT) to full term (FT) neonates at two large hospitals in Upper Egypt. Results: Out of 250 newborns included in the study, 180 (72%) were FT and 70 (28%) were LPT. More than half of the LPT newborns (52.9%) were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), compared with 26.7% of FT newborns. Delivery of LPT was associated with an increased risk of neonatal morbidity, including jaundice requiring phototherapy (34.3% vs. 7.8%), respiratory morbidities (32.9% vs. 13.9%), hypoglycemia (8.6% vs. 1.7 %), and convulsions (4.3% vs. 0.6%). Conclusions: LPT neonates were more susceptible to suffer from jaundice and respiratory distress among other morbidities. They also had a higher rate of NICU admission, longer duration of NICU stay, as well as a higher mortality rate. The best treatment of late prematurity is to prevent it. Public and professional awareness of the problems associated with late prematurity should be highlighted. Follow-up programs for early detection and intervention for long term complications are recommended.

“…[14] Evaluating the newborns birth weight in our study showed that there was a significant progressive increase in the mean birth weight with increasing the GA this finding was similar to what reported by Santos (Santos et al, 2017). [15] Mean birth weight s significantly higher in FT. Betul et al, (2018) also concluded that all measurements of late preterm infants were smaller than those of term infants. [16] In our study, the LP infants had a higher incidence of formula feeding compared with full term infants, bottle feeding was significantly higher in LP infants group which is similar to the results of other studies.…”

Background: Preterm birth rates continue to rise. Suggestions have been made that preterm birth rates have also increased because of a dramatic rise in late preterm births, defined as births between 34 weeks and 36-6/7 weeks of gestation. Latepreterm births are considered functionally mature but, several line of evidences suggest that, compared with term neonates, they have a higher risk of complications. Objectives: The present study was done to compare the outcome of late preterm infants born in our hospital, compared to those born at term. Patients and Methods: This is a prospective study conducted on 250 newborn born in maternal unit and neonatal intensive care unit of Fayoum University Hospital and BeniSuef General Hospital during 6 consecutive months(the period from May 2015 to November 2015).The study sample comprised late-preterm infants (cases) and a group of full term newborns(controls). Maternal, gestational and neonatal variables were analyzed. Means and standard deviations were used to compare numerical variables between case and control groups using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (KS) and the Mann-Whitney test.

“…In addition, these authors added that motor skills at the beginning of the Early Childhood Education (ECE) stage present similar levels with respect to those students who were born prematurely. Also, Santos et al [ 18 ] found that healthy premature infants do not experience profound delays in motor competence.…”

Motor Development among Spanish Preschool Children

The purpose of this study was to analyze motor development of Spanish preschoolers, taking into account sex and age, being an only child, prematurity, and the practice of extracurricular activities. The sample was composed of 300 preschoolers (132 girls, 168 boys) ages 3 to 6 years. Preschoolers were tested on 12 fundamental motor skills (locomotor and object control) through the Test of Gross Motor Development—Second Edition (TGMD-2). Nonparametric analysis indicated that there are differences between girls and boys in locomotor and object control skills in the age range of 3–4 years. However, boys and girls scored similarly at the age of 5 years in locomotor development. There were not differences between only children and those who are not only children. Similarly, prematurity was not associated with locomotor and object control development. Nevertheless, those preschoolers who practice extracurricular physical activities scored significantly higher in comparison with those children do not. Further research is needed to shed light on the differences between boys and girls in object control. It may be explained by the types of extracurricular activities.
