“…The current study found weak evidence that the effect of age correction is more pronounced in very preterm children born before 28 weeks of gestation than in those born after. This is in contrast to previous studies that report greater differences between test scores based on uncorrected and corrected age at lower gestational ages when assessing motor and cognitive functioning of preterm individuals 3,4,9 . These studies reported effects to be largest in extremely premature children born at and below 28 weeks of gestation.…”

“…Clinicians usually do this by subtracting the number of weeks and days a child was born prematurely from the child's chronological age. These recommendations are based on and supported by numerous studies that report a substantial difference between test scores based on preterm infants' uncorrected and corrected age when assessing motor and cognitive development [3][4][5][6][7] . The effect of correcting for prematurity has been reported to be largest for those born extremely preterm but was also apparent in moderately and late preterm infants 8 .…”

“…However, no associations were found between the risk of ASD, gestational and neonatal variables and hospitalization conditions. Gadassi et al [ 21 ] also applied M-CHAT in premature newborns hospitalized in an NICU; however, of the 110 premature babies evaluated, only 33 displayed risk for ASD. The difference between the percentage at risk for ASD between the two studies is likely due to a combination of pre-, peri- and postnatal periods [ 11 , 22 ].…”

Considering that the average age for diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is 4–5 years, testing screening methods for ASD risk in early infancy is a public health priority. This study aims to identify the risks for development of ASD in children born prematurely and hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and explore the association with pre-, peri- and postnatal factors. Methods: The children’s families were contacted by telephone when their child was between 18 and 24 months of age, to apply the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT). The sample consisted of 40 children (57.5% boys). M-CHAT screening revealed that 50% of the sample showed early signs of ASD. Although the frequency of delayed development was higher in boys, this difference was not statistically significant between the sexes (p = 0.11). Assessment of the association between perinatal conditions and early signs of autism in children hospitalized in an NICU exhibited no correlation between the factors analyzed (birth weight and type of delivery). The findings indicate a high risk of ASD in premature children, demonstrating no associations with gestational and neonatal variables or the hospitalization conditions of the NICUs investigated.

“…However, we used a standardized examination to prevent this from happening. The tool we chose for neurodevelopmental evaluation (MSEL) is widely used in preterm population and has close correlation with Bayley's psychomotor and mental indexes (40), but its use limits comparisons with results of similar studies.…”
