Objective: To ascertain the degree of agreement between a score for screening and another for diagnosis of motor development in 6-month old infants and to define the most appropriate cutoff point for screening.Methods: A sectional study, enrolling asymptomatic full term newborns with gestational ages from 37 to 41 weeks, who were discharged from the maternity unit 2 days after birth and are resident in the Campinas area. Infants were excluded if they presented genetic syndromes, malformations, congenital infections, intensive care admission or low birth weight. The assessment instruments investigated were the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) and the Bayley Scales of Infant Development II (BSID-II). Two cutoff points were evaluated for the AIMS, the 5th and 10th percentiles, and for the BSID-II infants were classified according to its motor index score (IS) as having inadequate (IS < 85, at least 1 standard deviation below the mean) or adequate performance (IS ≥ 85, above the mean minus 1 standard deviation).Results: The study sample comprised 43 infants. Six infants (14.00%) exhibited inadequate motor performance. Using the BSID-II motor classification and the 5th percentile AIMS cutoff, sensitivity was 100%, specificity 78.37%, accuracy 81.39%, kappa index 0.50 and p < 0.001; whereas, using the BSID-II motor classification and the 10th percentile AIMS cutoff, sensitivity was 100%, specificity 48.64%, accuracy 55.81%, kappa index 0.20 and p 0.025. Conclusions:The results suggest that concordance between the two 6-month assessment scales is good. The parameters employed are best combined using the 5th percentile AIMS cutoff point. ResumoObjetivo: Verificar o grau de concordância entre uma escala de triagem e uma de diagnóstico do desenvolvimento motor de lactentes no sexto mês de vida, estabelecendo o ponto de corte mais apropriado para triagem.Métodos: Estudo seccional, incluindo recém-nascidos a termo, com idade gestacional entre 37 e 41 semanas, assintomáticos, que receberam alta da maternidade 2 dias após o nascimento, residentes na região de Campinas. Foram excluídas síndromes genéticas, malformações, infecções congênitas, internações em unidade de terapia intensiva e baixo peso ao nascimento. Os instrumentos de avaliação foram: Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) e Bayley Scales of Infant Development II (BSID-II). Para a AIMS, foram utilizados dois pontos de corte, percentil 5 ou 10 e, para as BSID-II, foi utilizada a classificação dos lactentes na escala motora conforme a pontuação do index score (IS): desempenho inadequado (IS < 85, abaixo de menos 1 desvio padrão da média) ou desempenho adequado (IS ≥ 85, maior ou igual a menos 1 desvio padrão da média).Resultados: A amostra foi constituída por 43 lactentes. Seis lactentes (14,00%) apresentaram desempenho motor inadequado. Considerando a classificação motora das BSID-II e o percentil 5 da AIMS, obteve-se sensibilidade = 100%, especificidade = 78,37%, acurácia = 81,39%, índice kappa = 0,50 e p < 0,001; considerando a classificação motora das BSID-...

O objetivo foi comparar o comportamento de lactentes nascidos a termo com peso adequado (AIG) a lactantes pequenos para a idade gestacional (PIG), no primeiro trimestre de vida. A amostra foi de 20 lactentes, avaliados no 1º, 2º e 3º meses. Foram utilizadas as Escalas Bayley de Desenvolvimento Infantil - II, com ênfase na Escala de Classificação do Comportamento (ECC). Houve diferença significativa entre os grupos no 2º mês, com maior número de lactentes PIG classificados como alterados na ECC. O Fator Qualidade Motora demonstrou valores da mediana significativamente menores no grupo PIG, nos itens Motricidade Axial, Controle de Movimentos e Hipertonia Muscular. O Fator Atenção/Vigília não mostrou diferença entre os grupos. Entretanto, quando analisados os itens Exploração de Objetos e de Ambiente e Interação com o Examinador, houve diferença significativa no 2º mês, com valores da mediana menores no grupo PIG.
The purpose of this study was to compare the behavior of full-term small-for-gestational age (SGA) with full-term appropriate-for gestational age (AGA) infants in the first year of life. We prospectively evaluated 68 infants in the 2 nd month, 67 in the 6 th month and 69 in the 12 th month. The Bayley Scales of Infant Development-II were used, with emphasis on the Behavior Rating Scale (BRS). The groups were similar concerning the item "interest in test materials and stimuli"; there was a trend toward differences in the items "negative affect", "hypersensitivity to test materials" and "adaptation to change in test materials". The mean of Raw Score was significantly lower for the SGA group in the items "predominant state", "liability of state of arousal", "positive affect", "soothability when upset", "energy", "exploration of objects and surroundings", "orientation toward examiner". A lower BRS score was associated with the SGA group in the 2 nd month.
The objective of this study was to compare the behavior of full-term small-for-gestational age (SGA) with full-term appropriate-for gestational age (AGA) infants in the first year of life. A hundred twenty five full-term neonates were selected at Neonatology Service in the Center of Integral Attention to Woman's Health (CAISM) of the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), São Paulo, Brazil observing the inclusion criteria as follow: parents or legal guardians who signed the Informed Consent; neonates who did not need special care; gestational age between 37 and 41 weeks. They were assessed in the 1 st , 2 nd ,3 rd ,6 th ,9 th and 12 th months of life. Ninety five infants who came at least to one assessment during the first year of life were the sample. This sample was divided into two groups, according to weight and gestational age. In the SGA group there were 33 infants with birth weight less than percentile 10 th and, in the AGA group, there were 62 infants whose birth weight varies between the 10 th and 90 th percentile on fetal growing Battaglia and Lubchenco method (1967). The Bayley Scales of Infant Development-II (BSID-II) (BAYLEY, 1993) were used with emphasis on the Behavior Rating Scale (BRS). The cross-sectional study evaluated in the 1 st month, 63 infants (18 SGA and 45 AGA); in the 2 nd month, 68 infants (25 SGA and 43 AGA); in the 3 rd month, 68 infants (22 SGA and 46 AGA); in the 6 th month, 67 infants (25 SGA and 42 AGA); in the 9 th month, 61 infants (22 SGA and 39 AGA); in the 12 th month, 68 infants (21 SGA and 47 AGA). The groups showed similar distribution in biologic variables on birth, except birth weight. The SGA
