“…75 Small clinical reports that compared late-preterm infants with term infants suggested a higher risk of cerebral palsy, 76 speech disorders, 77,78 neurodevelopmental handicaps, 78 behavioral abnormalities, 79 and competence (behavioral, scholastic, social, and global). 75,[79][80][81] Given that late-preterm infants are born before their nervous systems have fully developed, large population studies that evaluate longterm neurodevelopmental and behavioral outcomes of these children are needed. 75 The emotional, personal, and financial costs to individuals, family, and society associated with late-preterm births have not been sufficiently described.…”

Late-preterm infants, defined by birth at 34 0 ⁄7 through 36 6 ⁄7 weeks' gestation, are less physiologically and metabolically mature than term infants. Thus, they are at higher risk of morbidity and mortality than term infants. The purpose of this report is to define "late preterm," recommend a change in terminology from "near term" to "late preterm," present the characteristics of late-preterm infants that predispose them to a higher risk of morbidity and mortality than term infants, and propose guidelines for the evaluation and management of these infants after birth.

Objective: To identify the prevalence of internalizing and externalizing behavior problems among preschoolers from the city of Salvador, state of Bahia, Brazil, and their associations with maternal mental health and family characteristics. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 349 children aged 49 to 72 months, randomly selected from 20,000 households representing the range of socioeconomic and environmental conditions in Salvador. In 1999, we assessed sociodemographic variables and family environment characteristics. In 2001, we used the Child Behavior Checklist to measure and describe the frequencies of behavior problems. We conducted bivariate and multivariate analysis to estimate associations between family and maternal factors and prevalence of behavior problems. Results: The overall prevalence of behavior problems was 23.5%. The prevalence of internalizing problems was 9.7%, and that of externalizing problems, 25.2%. Behavior problems were associated with several maternal mental health variables, namely: presence of at least one psychiatric diagnosis (odds radio [OR] 3.01, 95%CI 1.75-5.18), anxiety disorder (OR 2.06, 95%CI 1.20-3.46), affective disorder (OR 2.10, 95%CI 1.21-3.65), and mental health disorders due to use of psychoactive substances (OR 2.31, 95%CI 1.18-4.55). Conclusion: The observed prevalence of child behavior problems fell within the range reported in previous studies. Maternal mental health is an important risk factor for behavior problems in preschoolaged children.

“…Similarly, Huddy et al 13 found that 19% of their sample of 7-year-old children born between 32 and 35 weeks of gestation had an abnormal score on a measure of hyperactivity while 7% needed special education. Gray et al 14 found that 20% of their 8-year-old cohort born at 34-37 weeks of gestation had clinically significant behavior problems. 15 Danish registers showed that 6.4% of children aged 2-18 years and born at 34-36 weeks of gestation had a hyperkinetic disorder.…”

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in school-aged children, and prematurity is a recognized risk factor. Late-preterm birth, which represents 75% of premature births, is associated with ADHD symptoms, impaired cognitive performance, and behavior problems. However, little is known of the characteristics of ADHD associated with late prematurity. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical, neuropsychological, and neurobiochemical characteristics associated with late-preterm ADHD with those of at-term ADHD. Methods: Eighty-six children with ADHD, aged 5-13 years, were recruited. They included 20 late-preterm children with ADHD and 66 at-term children with ADHD. The Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children-IV and the Continuous Performance Test (CPT) were used to evaluate their clinical and neuropsychological characteristics. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to measure the ratio of metabolites (glutamate, choline, and N-acetyl-aspartate) to creatine in both the prefrontal and striatal regions as well as the left cerebellum. Results: The groups did not differ in regards to clinical outcomes. However, the ADHD latepreterm group had worse omissions and commissions T-scores on CPT (P # 0.05) than the ADHD at-term group. The ADHD late-preterm group also had lower ratios of glutamate in the left prefrontal cortex than the ADHD at-term group (P # 0.05). Conclusion: Among children with ADHD, those born at late preterm have lower attention scores as evaluated by CPT and are associated with lower relative concentrations of glutamate in the prefrontal region than those born at term. Etiological factors could play a role in the expression of ADHD.
