Background: Advancements in perinatal-neonatal care in the last decades has led to improved survival rates of very-low birth weight (VLBW) infants. An association between the level of maternal education and neurodevelopmental outcome has been demonstrated in many European studies. This study evaluates the influence of maternal education level and socio-demographic status on the long-term development of Saudi VLBW infants with birth weight of 1000-1500 grams at a corrected gestational age of 21-24 months. Method: This retrospective cohort study examined prospectively collected data from the period of 2005 to 2016 from the Neonatal Follow-up Program (NFP) at King Khalid University Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Results: A total of 122 VLBW infants with a mean gestational age of 29.57 weeks and mean birth weight 1265 grams were enrolled. There was no statistically significant association between the level of maternal education and neurodevelopmental screening outcome at the age of 21-24 months according to the Bayley Infant Neurodevelopmental Screener (BINS) (p=0.149). Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) was highly associated with cerebral palsy (p=0.001) and an abnormal BINS score (p=0.010). Conclusion: There was no significant influence of the level of maternal education on the neurodevelopmental screening outcome of VLBW infants at the corrected age of 21-24 months. BPD was the strongest predictor of adverse neurodevelopmental outcome.

Background: Very low birth weight babies are very fragile in nature and usually undergone through stormy neonatal period, which affects significantly their neurodevelopmental outcome in long term basis.Aims and Objectives: 1. Assessment of neurodevelopmental outcome in very low birth weight (VLBW) babies at 12 month corrected gestational age. 2. Study of risk factors associated with such outcome.Materials and Methods: VLBW babies without any major congenital anomaly were included in this study. They were followed up in high risk clinic upto 12 month corrected gestational age. In follow up visits, assessment of tone was done by Amiel Tiesonmethod and 180 degree flip test. Developmental screening was done by Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST II).Data obtained from this study were entered in Microsoft Excel and subsequently analysed with the help of Epi Info (TM) 3.5.3 software.Results: 24.4% among the study population showed neurodevelopmental abnormalities. Of them, 22.2% VLBW infants had muscle tone abnormality; 15.6% were suspect in gross motor development, 8.9% were suspect in fine motor, 11.1% were suspect in personal – social and 8.9% were suspect in language development, which were statistically significant. On assessment of risk factors, it was found that low birth weight, prematurity, non-use of antenatal corticosteroid, hypoglycaemia, intraventricular haemorrhage, sepsis, jaundice, mechanical ventilation, intra uterine growth retardation were significantly associated with various strata of neurodevelopmental outcome.Conclusion: VLBW babies are very prone to develop neurodevelopmental complications. Taking proper care regarding above said risk factors can reduce such complications. Also these babies should follow up properly to detect complication/s at earliest, and take “early intervention’’ steps.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.7(5) 2016 61-69

AbstractPreterm very low birth weight infants (VLBWi) are known to be at greater risk of adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. Identifying early factors associated with outcome is essential in order to refer patients for early intervention. Few studies have investigated neurodevelopmental outcome in Italian VLBWi. The aim of our longitudinal study is to describe neurodevelopmental outcome at 24 months of corrected age in an eleven-year cohort of 502 Italian preterm VLBWi and to identify associations with outcome. At 24 months, Griffiths’ Mental Developmental Scales were administered. Neurodevelopmental outcome was classified as: normal, minor sequelae (minor neurological signs, General Quotient between 76 and 87), major sequelae (cerebral palsy; General Quotient ≤ 75; severe sensory impairment). 75.3% showed a normal outcome, 13.9% minor sequelae and 10.8% major sequelae (3.8% cerebral palsy). Male gender, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, abnormal neonatal neurological assessment and severe brain ultrasound abnormalities were independently associated with poor outcome on multivariate ordered logistic regression. Rates of major sequelae are in line with international studies, as is the prevalence of developmental delay over cerebral palsy. Analysis of perinatal complications and the combination of close cUS monitoring and neurological assessment are still essential for early identification of infants with adverse outcome.

Introduction: facing the progressive increase in the survival of premature ta infants, a concern for health professionals would be related to the possible consequences arising from prematurity, among them the growth changes. Objectives: to describe the anthropometric variables of newborns Premature Very Low Birth Weight in the follow-up monitoring. Methods: observational, longitudinal and retrospective study, involving 71 children who left Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), with a weight lower than 1500 g who were treated between 2006 and 2013. They should have at least three outpatient visits within twelve months of corrected age after NCAU discharge, in the following periods: period I up to 3 months of corrected age; period II between 4-6 months of corrected age and period III between 7-12 months of corrected age. Results: the mean Gestational Age (GA) was 29.4 weeks, 51% male, birth weight 1073.2 g, 70% with appropriate GA. The hospitalization stay was 68.73 days. Weight Z score at birth -0.95; at discharge -3.05; in period I -2.4; period II -1.8; period III -1.2. Height at birth -1.21, at discharge -2.23; -2.5; -1.8 and -1.1 for the periods I, II and III , respectively. Regarding the PT Z score at birth -0.71; at discharge -1.5; and monitoring -1.1; - 0.8 and -0.5 respectively in the periods I, II and III. Conclusions: despite of the great Z score reduction in NICU, there was a progressive improvement during follow-up in the Z score in the three anthropometric variables.
