“…We note that these tests are broadly accepted and have been validated in low- to middle-income countries. 12–14 No differences in child height, weight, or stunting were noted between the two groups. In total, these findings demonstrate that low-dose aspirin is not associated with changes in neurodevelopment or postnatal growth within the parameters and age groups in which it was tested.…”

“…We similarly note that the Bayley-III has been validated across a large number of low-to middle-income countries. [11][12][13][14] Assessors were required to demonstrate training in the Bayley-III and to have three examinations reviewed and deemed acceptable by the Bayley-III training and oversight committee (M.A.L., A.B.C.). After this initial demonstration of competency, every 10th examination was recorded and reviewed to ensure that appropriate assessments occurred.…”

OBJECTIVE: Because low-dose aspirin is now commonly prescribed in pregnancy, we sought to assess the association between early antenatal exposure and child neurodevelopment. METHODS: We performed a noninferiority, masked, neurodevelopmental follow-up study of children between age 33 and 39 months whose mothers had been randomized to daily low-dose aspirin (81 mg) or placebo between 6 0/7 and 13 6/7 weeks of gestation through 37 weeks. Neurodevelopment was assessed with the Bayley-III (Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 3rd Edition) and the ASQ-3 (Ages and Stages Questionnaire, 3rd Edition). The primary outcome was the Bayley-III cognitive composite score with a difference within 4 points demonstrating noninferiority. RESULTS: A total of 640 children (329 in the low-dose aspirin group, 311 in the placebo group) were evaluated between September 2021 and June 2022. The Bayley-III cognitive composite score was noninferior between the two groups (−1, adjusted mean −0.8, 95% CI, −2.2 to 0.60). Significant differences were not seen in the language composite score (difference 0.7, 95% CI, −0.8 to 2.1) or the motor composite score (difference −0.6, 95% CI, −2.5 to 1.2). The proportion of children who had any component of the Bayley-III score lower than 70 did not differ between the two groups. Similarly, the communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem-solving, and personal–social components of the ASQ-3 did not differ between groups. Maternal characteristics, delivery outcomes, breastfeeding rates, breastfeeding duration, and home environment as measured by the Family Care Indicators were similar. CONCLUSION: Antenatal low-dose aspirin exposure was not associated with altered neurodevelopmental outcomes at age 3 years. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04888377.

“…Considering the predominant use of the Bayley Scales for early infant development and the current literature pointing towards an overestimation of neurodevelopment using the Bayley III scales and possible underestimation by using the Bayley II scales ( 88 – 92 ), there is a need for supplementary measures of early childhood neurodevelopment. However, the Bayley III language scales provide a good estimate of language development ( 88 , 91 , 92 ).…”

BackgroundChildren with congenital heart defects (CHD) are at risk for a range of developmental disabilities that challenge cognition, executive functioning, self-regulation, communication, social-emotional functioning, and motor skills. Ongoing developmental surveillance is therefore key to maximizing neurodevelopmental outcome opportunities. It is crucial that the measures used cover the spectrum of neurodevelopmental domains relevant to capturing possible predictors and malleable factors of child development.ObjectivesThis work aimed to synthesize the literature on neurodevelopmental measures and the corresponding developmental domains assessed in children aged 1−8 years with complex CHD.MethodsPubMed was searched for terms relating to psycho-social, cognitive and linguistic-communicative outcomes in children with CHD. 1,380 papers with a focus on complex CHD that reported neurodevelopmental assessments were identified; ultimately, data from 78 articles that used standardized neurodevelopmental assessment tools were extracted.ResultsThirty-nine (50%) of these excluded children with syndromes, and 9 (12%) excluded children with disorders of intellectual development. 10% of the studies were longitudinal. The neurodevelopmental domains addressed by the methods used were: 53% cognition, 16% psychosocial functioning, 18% language/communication/speech production, and 13% motor development-associated constructs.ConclusionsData on social communication, expressive and receptive language, speech motor, and motor function are underrepresented. There is a lack of research into everyday use of language and into measures assessing language and communication early in life. Overall, longitudinal studies are required that include communication measures and their interrelations with other developmental domains.

“…Niileksela and Reynolds (2019) have recently examined the factorial invariance of six Wechsler scales, including WPPSI and WISC‐V, and found that the VIQ, PIQ, and FSIQ constructs measured are similar across scales; in fact, the authors concluded that researchers should be confident that the different Wechsler scales measure similar constructs. Moreover, a number of studies with autistic and TD children (e.g., Dixon et al, 2021; Huang et al, 2023; Ramos‐Sánchez et al, 2021; Rasheed et al, 2023; Sutton et al, 2022) have employed both tools, that is, WPPSI and WISC‐V, to compare the cognitive profiles of children falling into different age groups. Despite not being the focus of the present study, our future analyses of the same children's longitudinal data can investigate performances in each subtest and composite score indices across the two tools longitudinally to detect possible task effects.…”

Intellectual development in young children with autism spectrum disorders: A longitudinal study

Intelligence profiles in autism have been characterized by great variability. The questions of how autistic children's intelligence changes over time, and what factors influence these changes deserve study as part of efforts to document child autism profiles, but also because the relationship between intellectual functioning and children's background characteristics is poorly understood, particularly in a longitudinal context. A total of 39 autistic children and 39 age‐matched neurotypical children (5–9 years old) completed two IQ assessments at preschool age and up to 4 years later. Repeated‐measures analyses assessed longitudinal changes in the children's verbal (VIQ), performance (PIQ), and full‐scale IQ (FSIQ) at group level. We further sought to identify clusters with distinct profiles in each group by adopting an unsupervised K‐means clustering approach, and detect possible between‐subgroup differences in terms of children's socioeconomic status and autism severity. The largest cluster in the autistic group was composed of children whose PIQ significantly dropped at follow‐up, while the second largest cluster improved in all quotients; the smallest cluster, wherein children had more highly educated mothers than the rest of the clusters, was characterized by large improvement in VIQ. For the neurotypical children, there was a two‐cluster division; the majority of them improved in the three quotients, while very few dropped in PIQ at follow‐up. The relation between socioeconomic status and IQ changes was significant for both groups. The findings demonstrate both the complexity of intelligence changes in autism and the need to view this complexity through the lens of the children's socioeconomic diversity.
