“…This is in line with the results of previous studies (6,10). A higher incidence of behavioral problems and ADHD is con sistently found in preterm children as compared with children born at term (1,3,19), and this was confirmed in our study.…”

Background: Our aim was to determine functional outcome of very preterm-born and small-for-gestational-age (sGa) children as compared with matched controls at school age. Methods: We included 28 very preterm sGa children (Ga <32 wk, birth weight (BW) <10th percentile), born in 2000-2001. We also included 28 very preterm but appropriate-forgestational-age (aGa) children, matched for Ga, gender, and birth year, as controls. We assessed motor skills, intelligence quotient (IQ), attention, verbal memory, visual perception, visuomotor integration, executive functioning, and behavior of both sets of children at school age. results: The sGa children had a median Ga of 29.7 wk and BW of 888 g, whereas the controls had a median Ga of 29.4 wk and BW of 1,163 g. at 8.6 y, the median total IQ of the sGa children was 94 as compared with 95 in the controls (not significant). Performance IQ was significantly lower in sGa children (89 vs. 95, P = 0.043), whereas verbal IQ was not (95 vs. 95). Total motor skills (P = 0.048) and fine motor skills (P = 0.021) were worse in sGa children. Furthermore, sGa children scored lower on selective attention (P = 0.026) and visual perception (P = 0.025). Other scores did not differ significantly between groups. conclusion: The differences we found between the groups were small. This suggests that the impaired functioning of very preterm-born sGa children is attributable to their having been born very preterm rather than to being sGa.

“…A presença de mais sintomas emocionais para as crianças nascidas com baixo peso é concordante com o relato de estudos prévios que descrevem tais crianças com mais problemas internalizantes em comparação às crianças nascidas com peso normal (Aarnoudse-Moens et al, 2009;Hayes & Sharif, 2009;Martins et al, 2005;Reijneveld et al, 2006;). Uma peculiaridade foi que o grupo BP apresentou mais dificuldade nessa escala em relação ao grupo MBP, apontado em outros estudos como o grupo com mais dificuldades (Bhutta et al, 2002;Reijneveld et al, 2006).…”

“…Esse grupo teve significativamente mais meninas em comparação aos outros grupos de peso, e estas são, reconhecidamente, mais propensas a apresentar problemas internalizantes em comparação aos meninos (Msall & Park, 2008;Reijneveld et al, 2006). Além disso, apesar da diferença não ter sido estatisticamente significativa, a escolaridade das mães dessas crianças foi menos privilegiada, predominando a baixa escolaridade (66,1%), enquanto que para as mães do grupo MBP, predominou mais anos de estudo (54,2%).…”

“…Alguns estudos mostram que crianças nascidas com baixo peso apresentam mais problemas comportamentais em comparação às crianças nascidas com peso normal (Aarnoudse-Moens, Weisglas-Kuperus, Goudoever, & van Osterlaan, 2009;Bhutta, Cleves, Casey, Cradock, & Anand, 2002;Conrad, Richman, Lindgren, & Nopoulos, 2009;Gallo et al, 2011;Hack et al, 2004;Martins, Linhares, & Martinez, 2005;Oliveira, Enumo, Queiroz, & Azevedo Jr, 2011;Reijneveld et al, 2006;Rodrigues, Mello, & Fonseca, 2006;Wiles et al, 2006). Em estudo conduzido por Gallo et al (2011), por exemplo, foi avaliada uma coorte de 4.357 crianças, aos 11 anos, por meio do Questionário de Capacidades e Dificuldades (do inglês Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire -SDQ), com o objetivo de verificar a associação entre o tamanho ao nascimento e SKB Correia et al problemas de saúde mental.…”

RESUMO -O peso e a idade gestacional são critérios relevantes para avaliação das condições de nascimento das crianças. O objetivo do presente estudo foi caracterizar e comparar o desempenho comportamental de uma coorte de crianças estratificada pelo peso ao nascer e pelo peso ao nascer em relação à idade gestacional. Avaliaram-se, aos 10/11 anos, 677 crianças por meio do Questionário de Capacidades e Dificuldades. Verificou-se, com significância estatística, os seguintes resultados: o grupo Baixo Peso apresentou mais sintomas emocionais que o grupo Peso Normal; o grupo Muito Baixo Peso mostrou mais hiperatividade em comparação aos outros; o grupo Pequeno para a Idade Gestacional apresentou mais dificuldades no escore total e mais sintomas emocionais em relação aos demais grupos. Concluiu-se que a estratificação por dois critérios permitiu a identificação de dificuldades específicas quanto ao desempenho comportamental.Palavras-chave: peso ao nascer, idade gestacional, comportamento, estudos de coortes Behavior of School Children Stratified by Birth Weight and Gestational AgeABSTRACT -Weight and gestational age are relevant criteria for assessing the conditions of childbirth. The goal of the present study was to characterize and compare the behavior of a cohort of children stratified by two criteria: birth weight and birth weight in relation to the gestational age. At the ages of 10 and 11 years, 677 children were evaluated by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. The following statistically significant differences were observed: the low weight group had more emotional symptoms than the normal weight group; the very low weight group had more hyperactivity compared to other groups; and the small in relation to the gestational age group had more difficulties with respect to the total score and emotional symptoms in relation the other groups. It was concluded that the stratification by two criteria allowed the identification of specific difficulties in behavioral performance.

Behavioural and emotional problems in very preterm and very low birthweight infants at age 5 years

Abstract: At school entrance, VP/VLBW children are more likely to have behavioural and emotional problems that are detrimental for academic functioning. Targeted and timely help is needed to support them and their parents in overcoming these problems and in enabling them to be socially successful.
