Neurobehavioural comparison of low-risk preterm and fullterm infants at term conceptional age / Fabrizio FERRARI in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 25-4 (August 1983)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 25-4 (August 1983) . - p.450-458 Titre : Neurobehavioural comparison of low-risk preterm and fullterm infants at term conceptional age Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Fabrizio FERRARI, Auteur ; Maria V. GROSOLI, Auteur ; Giorgio FONTANA, Auteur ; Giovanni B. CAVAZZUTI, Auteur Année de publication : 1983 Article en page(s) : p.450-458 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The neurobehavioural performances of 20 low-risk preterm infants born at 33 weeks gestation or less were examined with the Brazelton Scale at the expected date of delivery, and 20 healthy fullterm infants were also examined on the fifth day of life. The preterm infants were significantly inferior in orientation, motor performance, regulation of state and autonomic regulation. With the exception of autonomic regulation, the neurobehavioural clusters were more heterogeneous among the preterm group. The data suggest that low gestational age at birth, even following relatively normal pre-, peri- and neonatal development, is associated with a behavioural repertoire which is different, more heterogeneous and on average poorer than that of fullterm infants.
