Abstract

Abstract Purpose of Review Despite increasing research on the association between preterm birth and DCD, some critical questions remain unanswered. This review therefore aims to examine the current state of knowledge and identify areas that require further research. Recent Findings Recent findings indicate that preterm birth is associated with a greater risk of DCD, with increasing severity of impairment observed with decreasing gestational age before 40 weeks. Numerous studies have examined risk factors for preterm DCD, but few have investigated the mechanisms separately for preterm and term-born DCD, which makes it challenging to determine if they share similar etiological factors. Evidence suggests that the developmental trajectory between preterm and term-born DCD may differ, but more details is required. Additionally, research has also been limited by inconsistent definitions of preterm populations in terms of the degree of prematurity and the use of gestational age and/or birth weight. Summary Further research is needed to fully comprehend the association between preterm birth and DCD and to develop effective prevention and intervention strategies.

早产与发育协调障碍:我们知道什么，不知道什么?

尽管对早产与DCD之间关系的研究越来越多，但一些关键问题仍未得到解答。因此，本综述旨在检查目前的知识状况，并确定需要进一步研究的领域。最近的研究结果表明，早产与DCD的风险增加有关，随着40周前胎龄的减少，损害的严重程度增加。许多研究已经检查了早产DCD的危险因素，但很少有研究单独调查早产和足月出生DCD的机制，这使得确定它们是否具有相似的病因具有挑战性。有证据表明，早产儿和足月出生的DCD的发展轨迹可能不同，但需要更多的细节。此外，早产儿群体在早产程度和胎龄和/或出生体重方面的定义不一致也限制了研究。需要进一步的研究来充分了解早产与DCD之间的关系，并制定有效的预防和干预策略。

期刊介绍： Current Developmental Disorders Reports commissions expert reviews from leading scientists and clinicians in the field of developmental disorders. What makes the journal unique is its focus—coverage of not one but a host of major disorders in the field, ranging from autism, ADHD, and Tourette’s syndrome, to motor disorders such as cerebral palsy and developmental coordination disorder, through to language and reading disorders such as developmental dyslexia. International authorities serve as editorial board members and section editors, and articles from some of the world’s leading researchers will focus on timely and current reviews of the literature in areas spanning the continuum from bench to communities to individuals. Reviews on new scientific discoveries in neurosciences, genetics, and epidemiology, as well as clinical interventions and policy will provide readers with access to new, innovative, and impactful discoveries as they emerge.
