“…The repercussions of premature birth are perceived in the prevalence of delays and sequelae in global development of the individuals, even those born a few weeks before time (Reymundo et al, 2019, Su et al, 2017, especially when compared to full term newborns (Pereira-Cerro et al, 2019). The complications caused by early delivery correspond to the main causes of mortality and morbidity in children up to five years of age (Morales-Luengo et al, 2021), exerting significant impacts on the individuals, their family and society. The negative experiences underwent by premature newborns at the beginning of life can potentiate negative longterm effects (Zhao et al, 2022;Melchior et al, 2022).…”

The objective of this study is to describe and correlate the development areas of premature children and to verify the influence of sociodemographic factors. This is a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, conducted with 79 premature children aged from 15 days to 42 months old. The sociodemographic questionnaire and the Bayley III Scale were used. The participants’ performance fell within the expected parameters in the weighted and composite score and percentile in all the domains evaluated. However, nearly 39% did not achieve full acquisition in sensory processing and 50.6% presented at least one statistically significant discrepancy when comparing two development areas. The analysis performed and the set of results obtained were considered relevant for constituting a risk indicator for childhood development that can go unnoticed in healthy preterm infants, hindering early intervention and leaving them vulnerable to difficulties throughout life.
