“…Three reports from preterm cohorts born between 1977 and 1984, earlier than the present sample, found no FTpreterm differences in sexual maturity using the same measure, Tanner stages. Neither PeraltaCarcelen and colleagues (2000), who compared adolescents born ELBW and NBW at age 14½ years, nor Ford et al (2000), who compared ELBW, VLBW and NBW adolescents at age 14 years, nor Powls et al (1996), who compared VLBW and NBW adolescents at age 12 years, found pubertal development differences. Collectively, these results contradict reports of preterm children born in the 1970s of early sexual maturity for children born prematurely (Nelson, 1983).…”

“…Hack et al (2003) found birth weight z score and duration of neonatal hospitalization to be a significant predictor of 20-year growth attainment. Follow-up studies have reported on cohorts born in the late 1970s and early 1980s (Ford, 2000;Hack et al, 2002;Hack et al, 1996;Peralta-Carcelen et al, 2000;Saigal, 2001). Our sample was recruited at birth between 1985-1989 and grouped by neonatal morbidity, with a wide range of preterm birth weight (640 to 1800 g) and a FT comparison group.…”

“…1,6,7 However, most of the children in these studies remained significantly shorter, had lower weight, and had a smaller head circumference compared with full-term controls. 1,6,7 Also, higher frequencies of oral defects seen as palatal grooving, high-arched palate, prenormal occlusion, and palatal asymmetry have been reported in preterm children compared with full-term controls. 8,9 A recent investigation concluded that the prevalence of malocclusion traits and the professionally assessed need for orthodontic treatment were greater in a group of preterm children than in a control group of full-term children.…”

“…Many studies have indicated that VPT and EPT children experience significant growth failure in their early childhood, 5,6 and that compensatory catch-up growth occurs up to the time of adolescence. 1,6,7 However, most of the children in these studies remained significantly shorter, had lower weight, and had a smaller head circumference compared with full-term controls.…”

Objective: To test the null hypothesis that there is no difference between the craniofacial morphology of prematurely born children and that of matched full-term born controls. Materials and Methods: White children 8 to 10 years of age, born at the University Hospitals of Lund and Malmö and living in the same part of Sweden, were included. One group consisted of 36 very preterm children, born during gestational weeks 29 to 32; the other group included 36 extremely preterm children, who were born before the 29th gestational week. Subjects were compared with a control group of 31 full-term children, who were matched for gender, age, nationality, and living area. One lateral head radiograph was taken for each child, and the cephalometric analysis included 15 angular and 11 linear variables. Also, the height, weight, and head circumference of each child were registered. Results: A significantly shorter anterior cranial base and a less convex skeletal profile were found among extremely preterm children, and significantly shorter maxillary length was noted in both extremely preterm and very preterm groups as compared with full-term children. The lower incisors were significantly more retroclined and retruded in the extremely preterm group compared with the very preterm group and the full-term control group. Extremely preterm children were significantly shorter, and both extremely preterm and very preterm children had significantly lower weight and smaller head circumference compared with full-term children. Conclusion: The null hypothesis was rejected because several craniofacial parameters differed significantly between preterm and full-term born control children. (Angle Orthod. 2009;79: 276-283.)

“…La mayoría de estos trabajos diferencian el patrón de crecimiento de los niños de peso adecuado para la edad gestacional de los que son de bajo peso para la edad gestacional. Los niños con peso de nacimiento menor de 1500 g o con una edad gestacional inferior a 32 semanas, como grupo, son más pequeños en todas las variables del crecimiento a los 3, 5, 10 y 20 años de edad [41][42][43][44][45][46] . Aunque esto es así a lo largo de toda la infancia, existe una tendencia hacia la normalización del crecimiento que no solo incluye los primeros años de vida, sino que abarca hasta la segunda década de la vida.…”

Actividades preventivas y de promoción de la salud para niños prematuros con una edad gestacional menor de 32 semanas o un peso inferior a 1500 g. Del alta hospitalaria a los siete años (1.ª parte) Resumen AbstractPreventive and health promotion activities for premature children less than 32 weeks of gestational age or less than 1500 g. From discharge from hospital to seven years of age (1 st part)La prematuridad es uno de los problemas de salud más prevalentes en la población infantil. La frecuencia de niños prematuros está aumentando en los países desarrollados y se ha conseguido incrementar la supervivencia, por tanto cada vez hay más niños prematuros en las consultas de los pediatras de Atención Primaria. En general, los niños con peso menor de 1500 g o una edad gestacional inferior a 32 semanas están incluidos en programas de seguimiento hospitalarios, pero la mayoría de las consultas que generan estos niños las atienden los pediatras de Atención Primaria. El pediatra de Atención Primaria deberá conocer el programa de seguimiento en el que está incluido el niño y deberá asegurarse que se realizan todos los controles. Casi el 20% de los menores de 1500 g abandona los programas de seguimiento y, por tanto, el único pediatra que valorará a estos niños es el de Atención Primaria.El crecimiento y la nutrición son dos de los aspectos a los que hay que prestar más atención, sobre todo en los primeros meses tras el alta. Hoy en día se sabe que los niños que crecen mejor tienen una evolución neurológica mejor. La leche de madre proporciona múltiples beneficios a los niños prematuros, por lo que apoyar la lactancia materna en Atención Primaria será una de las tareas más importantes. También se deben conocer las características de los sucedáneos de leche de madre disponibles para los niños prematuros.Prematurity is one of the most prevalent health problems affecting the infant population. The frequency of premature infants in the developed world is on the rise, and the increased survival rates that have been achieved mean that there are now more premature infants being visited in primary care pediatricians' consults. In general, children with birth weights under 1500 g or a gestational age under 32 weeks are included in hospital follow-up programs, but the majority of the consultations required by these children are with primary care pediatricians. The primary care pediatrician should be aware of the follow-up program in which the child is enrolled and should ensure that all controls are being carried out. Nearly 20% of the infants under 1500 g abandon the follow-up programs; therefore, the only pediatrician who will evaluate these children is the primary care physician.Growth and nutrition are two of the areas where greater attention should be paid, especially during the first months after hospital discharge. Today we know that children who grow better have a better neurological evolution. Mother's milk affords multiple benefits to premature babies; therefore, it is very important that breastfeeding be supported in ...
