“…Its reliability (Cronbach a 0.79) and validity (sensitivity 89% and specificity 80%) have been previously documented. [12][13][14] The questionnaire was sent to the parents before the last check at the Preventive Health Care Center and filled out at home by the parents/caregivers of the included children, which took ∼15 to 30 minutes. After completion, the questionnaires were taken by the parents to the visit and handed over to the Preventive Health Care Center assistant.…”

OBJECTIVE: To determine how symmetric (proportionate; SGR) and asymmetric (disproportionate; AGR) growth restriction influence growth and development in preterms from birth to 4 years. METHODS: This community-based cohort study of 810 children comprised 86 SGR, 61 AGR, and 663 non–growth restricted (NGR) preterms, born in 2002 and 2003. Symmetrical growth restriction was defined as a birth weight below the 16th percentile (–1 SD) compared with full-terms and a head circumference (HC) z score not exceeding the infant’s birth weight z score by >1 SD. Asymmetric growth restriction was defined as a HC z score exceeding that for by >1 SD as a proxy of brain sparing. Developmental delay was assessed by the Ages and Stages Questionnaire at 4 years. RESULTS: Longitudinal gains in weight and height were similar for SGR and AGR children and less compared with NGR children. At age 4, z scores for weight were –1.1 for SGR and –0.7 for AGR children vs –0.3 for NGR children. z scores for height were –0.8 and –0.5 vs –0.2. HC gain were 2 cm more in SGR, but at 1 year, they were –0.2 vs 0.2 (AGR) and 0.1 (NGR). Developmental delay increased with odds ratios of 2.5 (95% confidence interval 1.1–6.0) for SGR and 2.1 (95% confidence interval 0.7–5.9) for AGR. CONCLUSIONS: Weight and height gains were similar for AGR and SGR children but poorer compared with NGR children. SGR children caught up on HC. Developmental delay was more likely in growth-restricted preterms independent of HC at birth.

“…9,15,16 In a community-based cohort of 45 455 children born in 2002 and 2003, all children with a gestational age between 32 0/7 and 35 6/7 weeks' gestation were sampled. We based the size of our cohort on the estimates for the numbers needed to compile growth curves for Dutch preterm-born children, because for that part of the Lollipop study we needed the largest number of children.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Children born moderately preterm (32–356/7 weeks’ gestation) are at increased risk of both neonatal morbidities and developmental delays in early childhood. It is unknown whether neonatal morbidities contribute to the increased risk of developmental delay. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of neonatal morbidities after moderately preterm birth on development at preschool age. METHODS: In a community-based, stratified cohort, parents of 832 moderately preterm children born in 2002 or 2003 completed the Ages and Stage Questionnaire when their child was 43 to 49 months old. Data on Apgar scores, asphyxia, tertiary NICU admission, hospital transfer, circulatory insufficiency, hypoglycemia, septicemia, mechanical ventilation, continuous positive airway pressure, apneas, caffeine treatment, and hyperbilirubinemia were obtained from medical records. We assessed associations of neonatal characteristics with developmental delay, adjusted for gender, small-for-gestational-age status, gestational age, and maternal education. RESULTS: Hypoglycemia and asphyxia were associated with developmental delay; odds ratios (ORs) were 2.42 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.23–4.77) and 3.18 (95% CI: 1.01–10.0), respectively. Tertiary NICU admission and hyperbilirubinemia had positive but statistically borderline nonsignificant associations with developmental delay: ORs were 1.74 (95% CI: 0.96–3.15) and 1.52 (95% CI: 0.94–2.46), respectively. No other neonatal morbidities were associated with developmental delay. In multivariate analyses, only hypoglycemia was associated with developmental delay (OR: 2.19; 95% CI: 1.08–4.46). CONCLUSIONS: In moderately preterm-born children, only hypoglycemia increased the risk of developmental delay at preschool age. A concerted effort to prevent hypoglycemia might enhance developmental outcome in this group.

High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation in Pregnancy and Neurodevelopment in Childhood

et al. 2020

Key Points Question Does maternal high-dose vitamin D supplementation in the third trimester of pregnancy improve offspring neurodevelopment in the first 6 years of life? Findings This prespecified secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial of vitamin D 3 supplementation during pregnancy and offspring neurodevelopment among 551 children showed no effect on neurodevelopment in the first 6 years of life, except for an isolated negative effect on language development at age 2 years in the high-dose compared with standard dose group. Meaning This secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial found that maternal high-dose vitamin D 3 supplementation during pregnancy did not improve neurodevelopmental outcomes in the offspring during the first 6 years of life compared with the standard recommended dose of vitamin D.
