Abstract

Objective: To formulate an equation estimating months to independent walking in moderate to late preterm infants based on neonatal characteristics and gross motor development from 7 months to independent walking.

Methods: Sixty infants born between 32 to 36 weeks were assessed using Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) for gross motor development. Neonatal characteristics were recorded at 7 months, and caregiver-reported independent walking onset. Pearson correlation analyzed age, AIMS scores, and neonatal factors. Multiple regression developed the prediction equation.

Results: The equation for independent walking onset, which included gestational age (GA) at birth, total AIMS score at 10 months of age (10th AIMS), and birth head circumference (BHC), exhibited a strong correlation (r=0.707) and had a predictive power of 50.0%. The equation is as follows: age onset of independent walking (months)=33.157, -0.296 (GA), -0.132 (10th AIMS), -0.196 (BHC), with an estimation error of 0.631 months.

Conclusion: Neonatal characteristics, such as GA, 10th AIMS, and BHC, are key determinants in estimating the onset of independent walking in moderate to late preterm infants.

早产儿独立行走年龄的预测：利用新生儿特征和运动发育变量的纵向研究

目的根据新生儿特征和从 7 个月到独立行走的粗大运动发育情况，制定中晚期早产儿独立行走月龄的估算公式：方法：使用阿尔伯塔婴儿运动量表（AIMS）对出生 32 至 36 周的 60 名婴儿的粗大运动发育情况进行评估。记录7个月时的新生儿特征以及护理人员报告的独立行走起始时间。皮尔逊相关分析了年龄、AIMS 评分和新生儿因素。多元回归建立了预测方程：独立行走起始方程包括出生时的胎龄（GA）、10 个月时的 AIMS 总分（第 10 次 AIMS）和出生时的头围（BHC），显示出很强的相关性（r=0.707），预测能力为 50.0%。等式如下：开始独立行走的年龄（月）=33.157，-0.296（GA），-0.132（第 10 次 AIMS），-0.196（BHC），估计误差为 0.631 个月：GA、第 10 次 AIMS 和 BHC 等新生儿特征是估计中晚期早产儿开始独立行走的关键决定因素。
