“…Neurodevelopmental disability in VLBW infants over the first few years of life has been shown to recover over time. 16 On the other hand, other disabilities can manifest as significant after the infants appeared normal during the first 3 years of life. Despite limitations, the results suggest that VLBW twins conceived by ART showed a different pattern of development compared to that of spontaneous twins.…”

Objective: To evaluate the differences in developmental outcomes between very low birth weight twins conceived by assisted reproduction techniques and those conceived spontaneously.Study design: Twenty-two sets of very low birth weight twins were evaluated by the Kyoto Scale for Psychological Development at 36 months of corrected age. Total developmental quotient and developmental quotient (DQ) for three subscales, posture-motor, cognition-adaptation and language-social, were evaluated.Results: Twins conceived with medical assistance demonstrated a higher incidence of total DQ below 85 with lower DQ for cognition-adaptation and language-social skills than spontaneously conceived twins, whereas the quotient for posture-motor skills in medically assisted twins was comparable to that of spontaneously conceived twins.Conclusion: At 3 years of age very low birth weight twins conceived by assisted reproduction techniques demonstrated lower cognitive and language skills than twins conceived naturally.

“…Research findings have been inconsistent in this regard (Luciana, 2003), with some investigators proposing that very preterm children may "catch-up" with age because of neural plasticity and functional recovery (Ment et al, 2003). In contrast, others suggest that persistent impairments are more likely, with some children potentially showing greater impairment with increasing age .…”

Despite evidence for executive dysfunction in school-aged preterm children, less is known about the early development of these difficulties or their underlying neuropathology. This study used prospective longitudinal data from a regional cohort of 88 very preterm and 98 full-term comparison children to examine the executive functioning (EF) of preschool children born very preterm. The relationship between the severity of neonatal cerebral white matter (WM) abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at term equivalent and children's EF at ages two and four years (corrected age) was examined. At age four, very preterm children with WM abnormalities performed less well than full-term children on the Detour Reaching Box, a measure of behavioral inhibition and cognitive flexibility, even after controlling for child IQ, SES, and medical background. Examination of patterns of EF performance between the ages of 2 and 4 years showed that the performance of all groups improved with age. However, very preterm children with mild and moderate-severe WM abnormalities were characterized by higher rates of consistent performance impairments. These findings support the presence of early and persistent executive difficulties in preschool children born very preterm, and highlight the importance of white matter pathology in the development of executive impairments.

“…A diversidade de desfechos tem sido relacionada às condições ambientais que podem atenuar ou agravar as dificuldades comportamentais de crianças expostas a fatores de riscos biológicos relativos às condições de nascimento (Aylward, 2002;Ment et al, 2003;Sameroff & Fiese, 2005). Além disso, a análise da literatura da área aponta para as dificuldades de comparação dos estudos devido às diferenças nos delineamentos adotados (Milligan, 2010;Vanderbilt & Gleason, 2010), na idade de avaliação das crianças (Elgen, Sommerfelt, & Ellertsen, 2003;Ment et al, 2003;Zwicker & Harris, 2008), nos instrumentos de avaliação utilizados (Saigal, 2000) e nos critérios de estratificação das amostras (Msall & Park, 2008;Milligan, 2010;Sommerfelt et al, 2001).…”

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.
