“…47 Not only is frontal volume generally reduced in IUGR fetuses, but it is also reduced relative to total intracranial volume, suggesting specific disturbance of frontal lobe development following IUGR. 45 Frontal growth restriction may lead to reduced executive function 48 and attention-related behaviours, 49,50 possibly explaining the cognitive and behavioural deficits identified in the current review.…”

Background Neurodevelopmental disorders are increasingly believed to originate from intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Current reviews exploring the neurodevelopmental effects of IUGR, however, are mostly based on birthweight, an inadequate proxy. Objective We aimed to examine the association between IUGR documented in utero, and neurodevelopmental outcomes during childhood. Search strategy Medline, CINAHL, PsycInfo and Scopus were searched for relevant studies published after 1970. Selection criteria The analysis included studies that identified IUGR in utero, with follow‐up assessments between 1 month and 12 years of age. Data collection and analysis Data was extracted for cognitive, behavioural, language, motor, hearing, vision or sleep outcomes. Studies were summarised separately for children born at <35 and ≥35 weeks gestation. Main results Of 28 876 titles identified, 38 were suitable for inclusion. IUGR children born ≥35 weeks gestation scored on average 0.5 SD lower than non‐IUGR children across all neurodevelopmental assessments. IUGR children born <35 weeks of gestation scored approximately 0.7 SD lower than non‐IUGR children across all neurodevelopmental assessments. IUGR children with evidence of fetal circulatory redistribution (preferential perfusion of the brain) had more severe neurodevelopmental impairments than those born IUGR alone. Conclusions IUGR increases the risk of neurodevelopmental impairment during childhood differentially across domains. IUGR children born preterm or with evidence of fetal circulatory redistribution are more severely affected. Tweetable abstract IUGR is associated with an overall risk for neurodevelopmental delay in a range of neurodevelopmental domains.

“…The TMT also has been used in investigations of children with learning disabilities and attention problems (e.g., Mittelmeier, Rossi, & Berman, 1989;Shue & Douglas, 1992). In a study of second grade children, low achievers took significantly longer to complete both Parts A and B than average achievers (Kops & Belmont, 1985).…”

“…EF/attention deficits characterize several childhood disorders such as ADHD (Trommer et al 1991, Grodinsky and Diamond 1992, Shue and Douglas 1992, Corkum and Siegel 1993, Korkman and Pesonen 1993, Pennington et al 1993, Weyandt and Willis 1994 and AS (Szatmari et al1990, Ozonoff et al 1991. The main symptoms of ADHD are inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and distractibility and this group appears to be most impaired in motor inhibition.…”

Boys with Asperger syndrome (n=20), attention-deficithyperactivity disorder (n=20), and reading and writing disorder (n=20) were followed up and retested on several neuropsychological measures 1 to 2 years after initial assessments. Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III) Full Scale, Verbal, and Performance IQ scores remained stable for all diagnostic groups. Kaufman factors and 'fluid' and 'crystallized' abilities were also stable measures. Subtest stability over time, was slightly more variable. There was a tendency for the group with Asperger syndrome to deteriorate over time with respect to logical reasoning abilities. Measures of executive function/attention ('go-no-go' and 'conflict' tests) showed good test-retest stability in all diagnostic groups. This is the first study of its kind.
