“…From 42 to 50 weeks PMA, the video recordings were made every 2 weeks. The videos were assessed independently by various combinations of two of four NOMAS‐certified Dutch speech and language therapists . In case of disagreement about an episode in a recording, the particular recording was discussed with all four assessors until consensus was reached …”

CONTEXT: Children who experienced intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) may be at increased risk for adverse neurologic developmental outcomes during the school-age years of life. OBJECTIVE:To estimate the effect of IUGR on cognition and behavior in school-aged children.DATA SOURCES: Medline, Embase, and PsycINFO were searched for English-language articles published after 1980.DATA SELECTION We included case-control studies reporting cognitive and/or behavioral data of children who had IUGR and were evaluated afterfifth birthday. DATA EXTRACTION:Cognitive data from 15 studies and behavioral data from 6 studies were selected with a total of 1559 cases and 1630 controls. The cognitive scores and behavioral outcomes were extracted. RESULTS:The controls had significantly higher cognitive scores than the children with IUGR (standardized mean difference [SMD] -0.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.51 to -0.25, P < .00001). The IQ scores of the IUGR group were not significantly correlated with mean birth weight and gestational age (P > .05). Five trials were included in the behavioral outcomes trial, the behavior scores were significantly different between the groups with and without IUGR (SMD 0.31, 95% CI 0.13 to 0.48, P = .001). The incidence of attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was not significantly different between 2 groups (P = .11). LIMITATIONS:The number of studies that assessed behavioral and ADHD outcome is small. CONCLUSIONS:The findings demonstrate that IUGR is associated with lower cognitive scores in school-age children. However, further large-scale trials are needed to assess the effects of IUGR on the outcome of behavioral disorder and ADHD.Neonatal Division, The Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, China Dr P. Chen conceptualized and designed the study, and reviewed and revised the manuscript; Dr J. Chen carried out the initial analyses, and drafted the initial manuscript; Drs Bo and Luo collected data, and critically reviewed the manuscript; and all authors approved the fi nal manuscript as submitted and agree to be accountable for all aspects of the work. By 2 to 3 years after birth, infants with IUGR will undergo catch-up growth of both the body and head 3 ; however, approximately 10% of IUGR cases do not achieve catch-up growth and exhibit persistent growth delay. 4 Many studies have shown that IUGR is associated with increased neonatal morbidity and mortality as well as cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus type 2, dyslipidemia, and end-stage renal disease in adulthood. In addition, numerous large-scale follow-up studies have shown that IUGR is associated with significant neurodevelopmental impairment across a range of outcomes in children. [5][6][7] The effects of IUGR persist beyond the neonatal period and may have a profound impact on childhood development. To date, neurodevelopment in school-age children with IUGR has received comparatively little attention. Here, we present a meta-analysis and systematic review...

Observations of prenatal movement patterns of mouth and lips essential for feeding could have the potential for an assessment of the readiness to feed after birth. Although there is some research on sucking per se, we know very little about prenatal preparatory movements for sucking, namely, the ability to co-ordinate opening the mouth widely and then pursing the lips as if around a teat or nipple in utero. The purpose of the present study was to test two hypotheses using an adapted version of the Facial Action Coding Scheme: first that mouth stretch (AU 27) will be followed by lip pucker (AU 18), and second that these coordinated movement patterns will increase as a function of gestational age. Fifteen healthy fetuses were scanned four times between 24 and 36 weeks gestation using 4D ultrasound visualization. Results showed a decreased number of mouth stretches with increasing fetal age. Contrary to our expectations, we did not find an increase in movement patterns of mouth stretch followed by lip pucker in preparation for feeding ex utero. The results are discussed in terms of sensory triggers in utero required to elicit preparatory movements for feeding ex utero.
