Developmental trajectories in high-risk NICU graduates during the first year of life
Objective
We examined whether early medical factors predicted variability in developmental level and trajectories in high-risk neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) graduates during the first year of life.
Method
Infants (n = 53) who met criteria for the High-Risk Infant Follow-up Program were enrolled. Simple linear models predicted 12-month developmental abilities and linear mixed models predicted 6- to 12-month trajectories based on length of NICU stay and birthweight.
Results
Length of NICU stay was more clearly predictive of 12-month developmental level, while birthweight better explained variability in trajectories. Communication and daily living skills varied based on early medical factors, whereas social skills did not. Motor skills varied by length of stay but not birthweight.
Conclusion
Results support the need for close developmental monitoring of NICU graduates, particularly those with lengthier stays and lower birthweight. Developmental support needs should be based not just on current delays, but on the rate at which infants learn new skills.
期刊介绍:
Established as an authoritative, highly cited voice on early human development, Early Human Development provides a unique opportunity for researchers and clinicians to bridge the communication gap between disciplines. Creating a forum for the productive exchange of ideas concerning early human growth and development, the journal publishes original research and clinical papers with particular emphasis on the continuum between fetal life and the perinatal period; aspects of postnatal growth influenced by early events; and the safeguarding of the quality of human survival.
The first comprehensive and interdisciplinary journal in this area of growing importance, Early Human Development offers pertinent contributions to the following subject areas:
Fetology; perinatology; pediatrics; growth and development; obstetrics; reproduction and fertility; epidemiology; behavioural sciences; nutrition and metabolism; teratology; neurology; brain biology; developmental psychology and screening.
