Abstract

Objective: To study the mechanistic role of neonatal morbidities on language performance in extremely preterm (EP) infants.

Study design: We conducted secondary analyses on EP infants born at a single tertiary care center, investigating whether neonatal morbidities mediated associations between gestational age and language performance at 18-26 months corrected age.

Results: Infants born at 25-26 weeks (n = 298) outperformed those born at 22-24 weeks (n = 177) in expressive communication, receptive communication, composite language, and cognition. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), grade 2/3 bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), and cognition partially explained gestational age effects on expressive and receptive communication. In the final sequential path models, infants born 22-24 weeks gestation were more likely to be diagnosed with grade 2/3 BPD, which was linked to diminished cognitive skills, and reduced language skills.

Conclusion: Families of EP infants born under 25 weeks or with ROP and/or grade 2/3 BPD should be counseled about higher language impairment risk and receive proactive intervention.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Perinatology provides members of the perinatal/neonatal healthcare team with original information pertinent to improving maternal/fetal and neonatal care. We publish peer-reviewed clinical research articles, state-of-the art reviews, comments, quality improvement reports, and letters to the editor. Articles published in the Journal of Perinatology embrace the full scope of the specialty, including clinical, professional, political, administrative and educational aspects. The Journal also explores legal and ethical issues, neonatal technology and product development. The Journal’s audience includes all those that participate in perinatal/neonatal care, including, but not limited to neonatologists, perinatologists, perinatal epidemiologists, pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists, surgeons, neonatal and perinatal nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, social workers, dieticians, speech and hearing experts, other allied health professionals, as well as subspecialists who participate in patient care including radiologists, laboratory medicine and pathologists.
