Biological and Social Influences on Outcomes of Extreme-Preterm/Low-Birth Weight Adolescents

Burnett and Gehan Roberts and Katherine J. Lee and Peter J. Anderson}, journal={Pediatrics}, year={2015}, volume={136}, pages={e1513 - e1520} }
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The importance of biological versus social influences on long-term outcomes of extremely preterm children is debatable. The goal of this study was to determine the relative contributions of biological and social exposures to outcomes into adolescence in extremely preterm survivors, hypothesizing that biological exposures would be more important early, but social exposures would dominate later. METHODS: The study included 298 consecutive survivors born at <28 weeks…

Cognitive Development Trajectories in Preterm Children With Very Low Birth Weight Longitudinally Followed Until 11 Years of Age

Level of cognitive development at 18 months was highly predictive of level of cognitive function at 11 years of age and differences in assessment scores between male and female VLBW infants persisted.
Language Skills in Children Born Preterm (<30 Wks' Gestation) Throughout Childhood: Associations With Biological and Socioenvironmental Factors.
- MedicineJournal of developmental and behavioral pediatrics : JDBP
- 2019
Higher primary caregiver education level, greater parent-child synchrony, and parent sensitivity were independently associated with better language function across childhood, highlighting the importance of socioenvironmental factors over biological factors for language development throughout childhood.
Exploring the “Preterm Behavioral Phenotype” in Children Born Extremely Preterm
- PsychologyJournal of developmental and behavioral pediatrics : JDBP
- 2019
Although more EP/ELBW children exhibited the proposed preterm behavioral phenotype than controls, it occurred in only 20% of EP/ ELBW children, and greater behavior symptoms were associated with poorer cognitive and academic outcomes.
Executive Function and Academic Outcomes in Children Who Were Extremely Preterm
- PsychologyPediatrics
- 2017
Most children showed stable and age-appropriate EF, although persistent and transient difficulties were observed and related to uneven academic outcomes, which may contribute to the development of interventions to decrease the adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm birth.
The impact of prematurity and maternal socioeconomic status and education level on achievement-test scores up to 8th grade
- Medicine, EducationPloS one
- 2018
While there were significant deficits in academic performance for ELGANs compared to PT, LPT, and term infants, the deficit could be offset by higher SES and better-educated mothers and the role of socioeconomic factors should be incorporated in discussions on outcome with families of preterm infants.
Trends in Executive Functioning in Extremely Preterm Children Across 3 Birth Eras
- Medicine, PsychologyPediatrics
- 2018
A concerning trend of increasing executive dysfunction for EP/ELBW children who were born more recently is reported, which may have adverse implications for other functional domains, such as academic achievement and social-emotional well-being.
Resilience and vulnerability in very preterm 4-year-olds
- PsychologyThe Clinical neuropsychologist
- 2020
Although a substantial minority of VPT children display adaptive competence, these children may have weaknesses in cognitive skills and executive functioning that present developmental challenges and associations of adaptive competence with supportive home environments suggest that early family intervention may improve outcomes in this population.
Stability of general cognition in children born extremely preterm as they grow older: good or bad news?
- Psychology, MedicineArchives of Disease in Childhood: Fetal and Neonatal Edition
- 2017
Poor cognitive function in EP survivors persists throughout childhood into late adolescence/early adulthood, including male sex, neonatal brain injury, gestational age <25 weeks and having a mother with a lower education level.
Behavioural and Educational Outcomes Following Extremely Preterm Birth: Current Controversies and Future Directions
- Psychology
- 2020
This chapter presents emergent research exploring developmental trajectories to determine whether the sequelae associated with EP birth represent a developmental delay or persistent deficit, and considers what approaches to intervention may be most fruitful in improving behavioural and educational outcomes in this population.

Prematurity and VLBW are indirectly related to early developmental outcome through their association with medical complications, however, by 36 months, developmental outcomes are more closely related to aspects of the early social environment than to early physiological factors.
