“…A number of studies in the field of child development have investigated the association between preterm birth and handicap in this development, comprising sensory, growth, language and / or learning gaps (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11) . However, such risk is not due to prematurity per se, but can be attributed to the adverse conditions associated with preterm birth, which may evolve to nervous system damage (5,8,19,21,22) .…”

“…Damage to any of these aspects may specifically affect language skills, which develops in parallel and integrally / intrinsically with cognitive skills (1) . This development may be affected by several complications during gestational, perinatal and / or postnatal periods, among which prematurity is one of the known risk factors for linguistic impairment (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11) . According to the World Health Organization (12) , newborns are babies with a gestational age of less than 37 completed weeks (borderline preterm infants: 35-36 gestational weeks; moderate preterm infants: 31-34 gestational weeks; extremely preterm infants: <30 gestational weeks) given that, the lower the gestational age, the greater the probability of mortality, abandonment and health problems.…”

“…There are reports in the literature involving the population of preterm infants pointing out that impairments in expressive language are more frequent when compared to those of receptive language (10,11) and that, between 2 and 3 years of age, pragmatic disorders, characterized by a difficulty in the heuristic function and in respecting communicative turns, participating and maintaining dialogic activities, are observed (9) . At preschool age, phonological disorders and difficulties with narratives prevail (10) .…”

Introduction: This study relates prematurity to linguistic impairments. Purpose: To analyze several variables related to prematurity, identifying the risk factors for language development disorders. Methods: Medical records of 98 preterm-born children (1 to 6 years) were analyzed. Data on language development (DENVER II test) and several variables, such as gestational age, length of hospital stay and postnatal complications were collected. From the Denver II test results, the sample was divided into two groups: G1: 28 children with risk factors for linguistic impairment; G2: 70 children without risk factors for linguistic impairment. Regression models and Fisher test (α=0,05) were used for statistical inferences. Results: The presence of peri-intraventricular hemorrhage (PIVH) or bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), maternal age less than 18 years, birth weight less than 1000g and long hospital stay were identified as risk factors for language development. There was also an association between risk for language disorders and the presence of risk in motor and social areas. Conclusion: Prematurity itself cannot be assigned as a risk factor for language development. In such cases, the variables associated with prematurity must be further assessed, limiting the involved risk factors. In this study, the presence of PIVH, BPD, maternal age less than 18 years, birth weight less than 1000 grams and long hospital stay were identified as risk factors for language development.

“…Changes have been reported in the language development, such as late-onset of first-word utterance, delay in expanding vocabulary and linguistic functionality (6,13), and difficulties with grammatical, phonological, pragmatic and linguistic comprehension skills (4,10,11) . In some cases, these issues may appear in the preschool and school stages and last for a lifetime (5,6,10,14,15) .…”

RESUMO Objetivo Investigar o desempenho lexical e a habilidade de memória de curto prazo verbal em crianças prematuras em idade pré-escolar, e comparar os resultados com seus pares nascidos a termo. Método Participaram do estudo 40 pré-escolares com idade entre 4 e 5 anos e 11 meses divididos em dois grupos, sendo 20 nascidos prematuros e 20 nascidos a termo. Os grupos não diferiram quanto à idade, renda familiar e escolaridade materna. Foram utilizados testes de vocabulário expressivo e memória de curto prazo verbal. A análise estatística inferencial foi realizada por meio dos testes de Mann-Whitney e exato de Fisher. Resultados O desempenho dos grupos não diferiu na tarefa de vocabulário, mas o grupo de prematuros apresentou desempenho inferior ao de seus pares na tarefa de repetição de não palavras. Conclusão Nesta amostra, o desempenho dos pré-escolares que nasceram prematuros foi estatisticamente inferior ao daqueles nascidos a termo apenas na tarefa de repetição de não palavras. Assim, o nascimento prematuro esteve associado a desempenho no vocabulário expressivo compatível com o esperado para a idade, porém com prejuízos na memória de curto prazo verbal.

“…Language acquisition depends on neurobiological and social factors, which include the integrity of brain structures, proper cognitive function, social interaction, and the stimuli received in the child's environment. Deviations in any of these aspects may affect language development [16][17][18] , hence the importance of studies that evaluate language acquisition of twins in early childhood. Given the need to investigate language acquisition in cases of multiple pregnancies associated with prematurity, the aim of the present study was to describe the linguistic findings and investigate the presence of neurological changes in preterm twins.…”

Introduction: Prematurity, low birth weight and multiple births are risk factors for structural changes in the brain, as well as deviations in motor, cognitive, social and language development. Objective: To describe language findings and investigate the presence of neurological changes in preterm twins born at two years of age. Method: This is a cross-sectional study based on data analysis of the medical records of six pairs of low birth weight preterm twins, of both sexes, at two years of age, attended to at the State Center for the Prevention and Rehabilitation of Persons withDisabilities - CEPRED, in Salvador-Bahia-Brazil. To this end, information regarding birth was collected; the clinical history; the imaging exams; and the speech, neurological and interdisciplinary assessments. Results: preterm twins had atypical language development and neurological changes that may compromise oral language development. From the neurological point of view, abnormalities common to the premature newborn, such as peri-intraventricular hemorrhage, were observed. Conclusion: Multiple births associated with prematurity and low birth weight may pose risks to the childs language acquisition.

Association between gestational age and birth weight on the language development of Brazilian children: a systematic review

Abstract: Preterm birth and low birth weight poses risks for the language development of children, especially in the first years of life. Therefore, it is essential that pediatricians are aware of the language development of these children to ensure proper treatment.
