Moderate and late preterm (MLPT) births comprise most infants. Therefore, long-term developmental concerns in this population potentially have a large public health influence. While there are increasing reports of problems MLPT children, detail is lacking on the precise domains that affected.To compare neurodevelopment social-emotional development between infants term-born control at age 2 years.This investigation was prospective longitudinal cohort study single tertiary hospital....
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common childhood physical disability. Early intervention for children younger than 2 years with or at risk of CP critical. Now that an evidence-based guideline early accurate diagnosis exists, there a need to summarize effective, CP-specific and conduct new trials harness plasticity improve function increase participation. Our recommendations apply primarily high CP, aged 0 years.To systematically review best available evidence about interventions across 9...
Mothers experience heightened depression and anxiety following very preterm (VPT) birth, but how these symptoms evolve during the first months after birth is unknown. Research on psychological adjustment of fathers VPT limited.To describe trajectory predictors distress in parents infants 12 weeks to compare rates with those healthy full-term (FT) shortly at 6 months' postnatal age.Longitudinal, prospective, follow-up cohort study (<30 weeks' gestational age; admitted neonatal intensive care...
The Prechtl General Movement Assessment (GMA) has become a cornerstone assessment in early identification of cerebral palsy (CP), particularly during the fidgety movement period at 3–5 months age. Additionally, motor repertoire, such as antigravity movements and postural patterns, which form Motor Optimality Score (MOS), may provide insight into an infant’s later function. This study aimed to identify specific markers for ambulation, gross function (using Gross Function Classification...
Preterm birth is increasing in prevalence and long-term follow-up studies have documented high rates of neurosensory, intellectual, academic behavioural disabilities. The importance early intervention (EI) well recognised but significant barriers to receiving EI exist the community. This study explores association levels disability at age 2 years with services social risk a large cohort very preterm children.This was 236 (gestational < 30 weeks or birthweight 1250 g) infants recruited birth....
The objective of this study was to compare the predictive value qualitative MRI brain structure at term and general movements assessments 1 3 months' corrected age for motor outcome year's in very preterm infants.Eighty-six infants (<30 weeks' gestation) underwent term-equivalent age, were evaluated white matter abnormality, had assessed age. Motor with Alberta Infant Scale, Neuro-Sensory Development Assessment, diagnosis cerebral palsy by child's pediatrician.At year Scale categorized 30...
Although ~50% of very preterm (VP) children have neurodevelopmental impairments, early prediction infants who will experience problems later in life remains a challenge. This study evaluated the predictive value general movements (GM; spontaneous and endogenous movements) at 1 3 months' corrected age for neurodevelopment 2 4 years VP children.At age, born <30 weeks' gestation had GM assessed as normal or abnormal. Motor, cognitive, language development was by using Bayley Scales Infant...
Aim Children born very preterm are at risk for impaired motor performance ranging from cerebral palsy (CP) to milder abnormalities, such as developmental coordination disorder. White matter abnormalities (WMA) term have been associated with CP in children; however, little is known about the impact of WMA on range impairments. The aim this study was assess whether were predictive all levels impairments children. Method Two hundred and twenty-seven infants (<30wks gestational age or...
Most babies are born healthy and grow develop normally through childhood. There are, however, clearly identifiable high-risk groups of survivors, such as those preterm or with ill-health, who destined to have higher than expected rates health developmental problems, for whom more structured specialised follow-up programs warranted. This paper presents the results a two-day workshop held in Melbourne, Australia, discuss neonatal populations need why, addition how, programme might be...
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine the effects preventive care at home on child development and primary caregiver mental health 2 years age. METHODS: A total 120 very preterm infants (&lt;30 weeks) were assigned randomly intervention (n = 61) or control 59) groups. group received program (9 visits over first year from a physiotherapist psychologist, focusing parent-infant relationship, parents' health, infant's development); standard care. At corrected age years,...
