Fatores associados ao atraso do desenvolvimento motor de crianças prematuras internadas em unidade de neonatologia

Association between breastfeeding, obstetric factors and child development in Northeast Brazil

“…There was no significant influence on this research in the number of PN consultations on ND, however, this result does not corroborate the findings by Araújo et al 10 which evaluated premature infants hospitalized in neonatal units, and showed that a high number of pre-natal consultations was linked to delayed motor development of children. This result can be explained by the fact that most of the women who received more PN monitoring had more risk factors during pregnancy 10 .…”

“…Regarding prenatal conditions, most mothers received prenatal care (98.99%), starting in the first trimester (77.55%) and made 6 or more visits (69.7%), as recommended by the Ministry of Health 5 and can be justified by advances in the pre and neonatal care provided 10 , this result follows the expansion of prenatal care coverage. In Brazil, an increase has been recorded in the number of consultations per pregnant woman who uses the SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde/ Unified Health System), from 1.2 visits per birth in 1995 to 5.1 visits per delivery in 2003.…”

“…Although breastfeeding is a practice encouraged by institutional programmes and international organizations, the scientific evidence about the effects of exclusive breastfeeding on ND is scarce and studies contain methodological biases 9,10 . In this respect, the objective of this study is to analyse the influence of exclusive breastfeeding and associated factors on the ND of children up to 36 months old.…”

Functional development of preterm infants: an integrative literature review

“…Prolonged use of MV may lead to the establishment of other respiratory illnesses (37,38), in addition to low motor performance (38), probably due to limiting the variation in positioning the child in their spontaneous movement and postural adjustments. These early experiences can have repercussions on their functional abilities, especially in the areas of self-care and mobility due to possible injury in the upper airway, underdevelopment of musculoskeletal, neurological and sensory systems, whose integrity is essential for execution of activities in these areas.…”
