“…Moreover, some authors have confirmed that low birth-weight (between 1,000kg and 1,500Kg) 12 always has a negative impact on language and cognition and that this problem increases on children with very low birth-weight (<1,500Kg), being also responsible for school learning difficulties 1316 .…”

Purposes: to evaluate spontaneous language development through the Mean Length of Utterance in words (MLU-w) of children with gestational age between 28 and 36 weeks. This research also aims to study if the gestational age, birth weight, gender, and parents' level of formal education can influence that measurement. Methods: nineteen premature children (9 males, 10 females), in the age range 4-5 years old, enrolled on Lisbon area kindergartens, and considered as having typical development, participated in this research. Spontaneous speech of each child was recorded for 30 minutes and transcribed afterwards. Results: mean values of MLU-w of Portuguese premature children were significantly lower than those with typical development. A positive and significant correlation between the gestational age and the birth weight with the MLU-w was also found. The gender of the children and the parents' level of formal education showed no influence on the results. Conclusion: these results reinforce the need to identify, on these children, possible deficits, in order to prevent negative impacts in school education, and stimulate their psychosocial development.

Purpose: To analyze the factors which are associated with growth delay and malnutrition in preterm infants during first year of life. Conclusion:Evaluation data of monofactor analyze in group of low body weight (LBW) infants showed statistically significant correlation of growth delay (GD) with late gestosis of pregnancy (OR-3,56), IUGR in a newborn (OR-4,40), formula feeding (OR-9,69) and anemia of a newborn (OR5,73). To optimize health care in preterm infants it is necessary to consider the factors which correlate with GD and give the recommendations how to prevent or treat pathological and deficit conditions.

“…Estudos evidenciaram que crianças de muito baixo peso são mais vulneráveis para distúrbios do desenvolvimento (OLIVEIRA, ENUMO, 2008;BUHLER, 2008;NOBRE et al, 2009;RIBEIRO et al, 2011;ALMEIDA et al 2013;GUERRA et al 2014). …”

“…Vários autores apresentaram que o risco socioambiental também deve ser considerado no desenvolvimento infantil (SANSAVINI et al, 2011;CASKEY, VOHR, 2013;BROWN et al, 2014;GUERRA et al, 2014;MANSSON et al, 2015). Dentre estes fatores de risco foram citados: baixo nível socioeconômico, escolaridade materna e idade materna (mães muito jovens) (FORMIGA, LINHARES, 2009;SANSAVINI et al, 2011;CASKEY, VOHR, 2013 Tabela 2 e Tabela 3), na comparação GE-I e GC-I e GE-II e GC-II e GE-I e GE-II houve diferença estatística significante no desempenho entre os grupos.…”

Premature infants with birth weights of 1500–1999 g exhibit considerable delays in several developmental areas

Abstract: Premature infants with birth weights of 1500-1999 g exhibited considerable delays in several developmental areas. In addition to biological factors, environmental factors contributed to the reduced scores and/or developmental delays.
