| Popis: | AIM: To study the prevalence of minor neurological dysfunction (MND) at 6 years of age in a cohort of children born extremely preterm without cerebral palsy (CP) and to investigate associations with motor function, cognitive abilities, and behaviour.METHOD: This study assessed 80 children born at less than 27 weeks of gestation and 90 children born at term age between 2004 and 2007 at a mean age of 6 years 6 months. The assessments included a simplified version of the Touwen Infant Neurological Examination, the Movement Assessment Battery for Children, Second Edition (MABC-2), Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fourth Edition (WISC-IV), the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), and the parent version of the Five to Fifteen questionnaire.RESULTS: Fifty-one of the children born preterm had normal neurology, 23 had simple MND, and six had complex MND compared with 88 who had normal neurology and two simple MND in the term-born group (pINTERPRETATION: Children born extremely preterm, in the absence of CP, are at risk of MND and this is associated with motor function, cognitive ability, and behaviour.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: Extremely preterm birth carries a risk of minor neurological dysfunction (MND). MND in children born extremely preterm is associated with impaired motor function and cognitive abilities, and behavioural problems. Male sex is associated with MND in children born extremely preterm. |
