“…[10][11][12][13] Most studies concerning preterm birth and ADHD have focused on extremely preterm infants, whereas the vast majority of children born prematurely are born at a later gestational age. 14 Studies concerning the ADHD risk of late preterm infants are significantly fewer and have yielded somewhat contradictory results. 4,[15][16][17][18] Poor fetal growth or being small for gestational age (SGA) also has been associated with neurodevelopmental problems and ADHD.…”

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown an association between prematurity and attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Results concerning late preterm infants are controversial, and studies examining fetal growth represented by weight for gestational age are scarce. Our objective was to examine the association between gestational age by each week of fetal maturity, weight for gestational age, and ADHD.

“…Recent studies suggest that these children are at greater risk of neurodevelopmental delay, cognitive deficits, behavioral problems, and special educational needs than term-born counterparts. [1][2][3] Given that LMPT births account for ∼84% of all preterm births, 4 there is likely to be a significant public health impact of even mild neurodevelopmental problems for this sizeable population.…”

A Parent Questionnaire for Developmental Screening in Infants Born Late and Moderately Preterm

BACKGROUND: The Parent Report of Children’s Abilities-Revised (PARCA-R) is a questionnaire for assessing cognitive and language development in very preterm infants. Given the increased risk of developmental delay in infants born late and moderately preterm (LMPT; 32–36 weeks), this study aimed to validate this questionnaire as a screening tool in this population. METHODS: Parents of 219 children born LMPT completed the PARCA-R questionnaire and the Brief Infant Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment when children were 24 months corrected age (range, 24 months–27 months). The children were subsequently assessed by using the cognitive and language scales of the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley-III). RESULTS: An average Bayley-III, cognitive and language (CB-III) score and a total PARCA-R Parent Report Composite (PRC) score were computed. There was a large association between PRC and CB-III scores (r = 0.66, P < .001) indicating good concurrent validity. Using Youden index, the optimum PARCA-R cutoff for identifying children with moderate/severe developmental delay (CB-III scores < 80) was PRC scores < 73. This gave sensitivity 0.90 (95% confidence interval: 0.75–1.00) and specificity 0.76 (95% confidence interval: 0.70–0.82), indicating good diagnostic utility. Approximately two-thirds of the children who had a PRC score < 73 had false-positive screens. However, these children had significantly poorer cognitive and behavioral outcomes than children with true negative screens. CONCLUSIONS: The PARCA-R has good concurrent validity with a gold standard developmental test and can be used to identify LMPT infants who may benefit from a clinical assessment. The PARCA-R has potential for clinical use as a first-line cognitive screening tool for this sizeable population of infants in whom follow-up may be beneficial.

“…Prematurity in general, has been linked to poor developmental outcomes at school age across a number of measures of cognition, attention and self-regulation [19,20]. Studies suggest that the risk of developing DCD increases with decreasing gestational age and birth weight [21].…”

Using the ICF Framework to Explore the Multiple Interacting Factors Associated with Developmental Coordination Disorder

Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is classified as a heterogeneous disorder of motor learning and functioning. The purpose of this paper is to critically analyse the current knowledge of DCD using the International Classification of Functioning and Disability Framework (ICF) model of disability. Since DCD is diagnosed on the basis of functional problems, we discuss the relationships between known activity limitations and participation restrictions, impairments of body structure and function, and contextual factors associated with these functional limitations. We conclude that the manifestation of both the primary and secondary problems seen in DCD are dependent on the integrity, capacity and adaptability of cognitive and neuromotor structures. We assert that personal and environmental factors either facilitate or restrict skill acquisition and learning. Understanding the interaction between individual and contextual factors is, thus, fundamental to designing interventions that address primary functional problems and ameliorate the development of health and psychosocial impairments in DCD.
