  • Prematuridade e o sistema nervoso central
    Publication . Lamônica, Dionísia Aparecida Cusin; Ribeiro, Camila da Costa
    O nascimento prematuro é considerado uma condição de risco para alterações do desenvolvimento. Crianças nascidas prematuras podem ter seu desenvolvimento dentro de critérios normativos. Entretanto, pela condição de risco é fundamental que estas sejam acompanhadas por equipes técnicas quanto aos marcos do desenvolvimento. Este capítulo de revisão de literatura abordará algumas etapas do desenvolvimento do sistema nervoso central, o substrato neuropatológico e os processos desmaturacionais que podem ocorrer. Os estudos aqui reportados apresentam as possibilidades de insultos neurológicos nas crianças nascidas prematuras com consequências diversas para o desempenho motor, linguístico e cognitivo.

    Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the association between receptive vocabulary performance and intellectual quotient (IQ) in preterm born children compared to children born at term. Method: A total of 72 preschool-age children participated in the study. Participants were divided in four groups: EG-I, including 20 moderate to late preterm born children; EG-II, comprehending 16 extremely preterm born children; CG-I and CG-II with correspondingly 20 and 16 children born at term. EG-I and CG-I as well as EG-II and CG-II groupswere matched according to gender, chronological age, and family SES. The mean age of children in each group was: EG-I and CG-I: 30.3 months; EG-II and CG-II: 29.1 months. The assessment information was collected using an anamnesis protocol, the Brazilian criterion of economic classification, the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, and the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale. Results: Mean scores for receptive vocabulary were significantly lower in both preterm groups (EG-I and EG-II) than in the corresponding matched groups (CG-I and CG-II). However, no significant differences were found among the preterm groups. Moreover, high correlations between vocabulary and IQ scores were found in both preterm groups (EG-I and EG-II). In contrast, no significant correlations were found when analyses considered each group of full-term born children (CG-I and CG-II). Conclusion: Our findings indicate that prematurity status has an impact on receptive language performance and on the pattern of relationships between receptive vocabulary and general intellectual functioning.
