Physical Growth in the Neonatal Intensive-Care Unit and Neuropsychological Performance at Preschool Age in very Preterm-Born Singletons

Abstract: We studied the associations between early postnatal growth gains and neuropsychological outcome in very preterm-born children. Specifically, we wished to establish whether relationships exist between gains in head circumference (relative to gains in body-weight or length), from birth to hospital discharge, and intellectual, language, or motor, performance at preschool age. We used data from 127 preschoolers, born <33 weeks, all graduates of the William Beaumont Hospital Neonatal Intensive-Care Unit (NICU) in R… Show more

“…These differences were mainly associated with the immaturity of the ELBW+ group. Obviously, this resulted in a longer length of stay of the ELBW infants in the unfavorable NICU environment, which might interfere with postnatal growth and development ( 32 , 33 ).…”

“…Data were collected retrospectively for infants born between October 2010 and December 2015, and data were collected prospectively for infants born between January 2015 and February 2018. Weight, length, and HC z-scores were calculated at birth, and approximately one (0.75-1.5), four (1.5-7), nine (7-12), 15 (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18), 24 (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27), and 30 (27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)) months of age. Olsen growth charts were used for preterm infants (<37 weeks gestation), and World Health Organization growth charts were used for term infants.…”
