Early neurobehavioral development of preterm infants

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to assess the very early neurobehavioral development of preterm infants and to examine differences regarding sex. Two-hundred and two preterm infants were assessed by the Neurobehavioral Assessment of the Preterm Infant (NAPI), which was carried out at 32-37 weeks postconceptional age in the hospital setting. The infants' performance was compared to a norm-referenced sample and a comparison between groups regarding sex was also done. In comparison to the NAPI normreference, the… Show more

“…Even in a clinical stabilization period in the intermediate care unit, it is important to check the impact of the biological vulnerability generated by the premature birth in the neurological and behavioural responses of infants. This result corroborates a study with a larger sample in which 31% of the sample was detected as being at risk of subsequent developmental delay 30 . The infants' highest score was obtained in the cluster alertness and orientation on the NAPI, such as in a recent study that explored the neurobehavioural aspects of preterm infants at different gestational ages 15 .…”

“…Few studies have examined very early neurodevelopment prior to term-age [21][22][23][24]. The Neurobehavioral Assessment of Preterm Infants (NAPI) evaluates the neurodevelopment of preterm infants at b37 weeks of post-conceptional age, with predictive power for later development until the first 3 years of age and the early detection of cerebral palsy in combination with magnetic resonance imaging [22,25].…”

“…Atualmente, há no Brasil alguns estudos que foram feitos com a escala NAPI como o de Silva (56) , Gorzílio (57) , Formiga (58) e Gabriel (59) , sendo os dois primeiros realizados com uma amostra de bebês da cidade de Ribeirão Preto/SP e os dois últimos da cidade de Goiânia/GO.…”

“…A característica da amostra também pode ser um fator relevante na interpretação dos resultados, devido à mesma ser uma amostra pequena. Além disso, mais estudos comparativos de amostras de RNPT-T com crianças a termos devem ser estimulados.Em relação ao nosso segundo objetivo que foi comparar o desenvolvimento neurocomportamental do grupo de RNPT-Ts com os três estudos nacionais(56, 57,59) com idade pós-concepcional de 36 semanas, identificamos que houve uma considerável significância estatística entre a amostra do estudo com os grupos do Estudo 1, (E1), Estudo 2 (E2) e Estudo 3 (E3). Sendo que o E1 e o E2 foram realizados na cidade de Ribeirão Preto/SP e o E3 foi realizado na cidade de Goiânia-GO.…”
