“…23 Furthermore, the mothers of high-risk infants had greater family and personal strain, but there was no difference between the three groups with regard to divorce rate, family cohesion and parenting/marital satisfaction. 23,24 Financial strain was significantly higher for mothers of high-risk infants. 23,24 However, the differences were not significant for mothers of highrisk infants who had high levels of social support.…”

“…23,24 Financial strain was significantly higher for mothers of high-risk infants. 23,24 However, the differences were not significant for mothers of highrisk infants who had high levels of social support. 24 Finally, mothers of all VLBW infants achieved fewer years of education after the birth of their child.…”

“…21,22 In follow-up studies, these differences in rates of psychological distress were no longer significant, and in fact mothers of low-risk VLBW infants had lower levels of distress at 3 years, 21 and lower levels of child-related stress at 14 years when compared with term. 24 However, mothers of both high-and lowrisk VLBW infants did report greater anxiety regarding their child's health. 23 Within the high-risk group, a lack of social support increased the negative impact on the mother.…”

“…20 Researchers at Case Western Reserve University performed a series of surveys of mothers of high-risk (defined as having bronchopulmonary dysplasia) and low-risk (those without bronchopulmonary dysplasia) VLBW infants and compared them with mothers of healthy, term infants. [21][22][23][24] Both high-and lowrisk mothers reported more psychological distress at 1 month after discharge compared with mothers of healthy, term infants. The differences between the low-risk VLBW group and the term group disappeared by 2 years, but the mothers of the high-risk infants still suffered from greater distress.…”

“…23 Within the high-risk group, a lack of social support increased the negative impact on the mother. [22][23][24] A significant limitation of this series is that they explicitly excluded infants with severe intraventricular hemorrhage (grade III-IV), which may have affected the levels of self-reported psychological distress of caring for a VLBW infant.…”

Objective: Provide an evidence base for counseling parents of high-risk neonates about the biopsychosocial impact of providing long-term care.Study Design: A review of the effects of long-term care on families of high-risk neonates. Our search was limited to 1993-2010. We used the terms 'long-term care,' 'family,' 'neonate' and 'technology dependence.' Results were organized based on Engel's biopsychosocial model.Result: PhysicalFparental caregivers reported more health problems, had fewer health-promoting behaviors and lower vitality.PsychologicalFparental caregivers had higher rates of post-traumatic stress disorder and depressive symptoms, although some improved with time. Siblings reported greater stress and depression. SocialFparental caregivers achieved fewer years of education, higher unemployment and lower incomes. Couples reported greater family strain. The effect on divorce was mixed. Siblings reported disruption in their academic and social lives. Conclusion:Providing long-term care involves biopsychosocial risks. Counseling of parents should identify them and advocate strategies for prevention.

Health Care Utilization During the COVID-19 Pandemic Among Individuals Born Preterm

et al. 2023

ImportanceLimited data exist on pediatric health care utilization during the COVID-19 pandemic among children and young adults born preterm.ObjectiveTo investigate differences in health care use related to COVID-19 concerns during the pandemic among children and young adults born preterm vs those born at term.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsIn this cohort study, questionnaires regarding COVID-19 and health care utilization were completed by 1691 mother-offspring pairs from 42 pediatric cohorts in the National Institutes of Health Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes Program. Children and young adults (ages 1-18 years) in these analyses were born between 2003 and 2021. Data were recorded by the August 31, 2021, data-lock date and were analyzed between October 2021 and October 2022.ExposuresPremature birth (&lt;37 weeks’ gestation).Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe main outcome was health care utilization related to COVID-19 concerns (hospitalization, in-person clinic or emergency department visit, phone or telehealth evaluations). Individuals born preterm vs term (≥37 weeks’ gestation) and differences among preterm subgroups of individuals (&lt;28 weeks’, 28-36 weeks’ vs ≥37 weeks’ gestation) were assessed. Generalized estimating equations assessed population odds for health care used and related symptoms, controlling for maternal age, education, and psychiatric disorder; offspring history of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or asthma; and timing and age at COVID-19 questionnaire completion.ResultsData from 1691 children and young adults were analyzed; among 270 individuals born preterm, the mean (SD) age at survey completion was 8.8 (4.4) years, 151 (55.9%) were male, and 193 (71.5%) had a history of BPD or asthma diagnosis. Among 1421 comparison individuals with term birth, the mean (SD) age at survey completion was 8.4 (2.4) years, 749 (52.7%) were male, and 233 (16.4%) had a history of BPD or asthma. Preterm subgroups included 159 individuals (58.5%) born at less than 28 weeks’ gestation. In adjusted analyses, individuals born preterm had a significantly higher odds of health care utilization related to COVID-19 concerns (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.70; 95% CI, 1.21-2.38) compared with term-born individuals; similar differences were also seen for the subgroup of individuals born at less than 28 weeks’ gestation (aOR, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.40-3.29). Maternal history of a psychiatric disorder was a significant covariate associated with health care utilization for all individuals (aOR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.17-1.78).Conclusions and RelevanceThese findings suggest that during the COVID-19 pandemic, children and young adults born preterm were more likely to have used health care related to COVID-19 concerns compared with their term-born peers, independent of a history of BPD or asthma. Further exploration of factors associated with COVID-19–related health care use may facilitate refinement of care models.
