Self-regulation in Children Born Extremely Preterm
Survival rates are increasing for children born extremely preterm, yet despite the majority of these children having IQ scores within the average range, 50-70% of these children have later school difficulties. This paper reviews factors associated with academic difficulties in these children, emphasizing the contributions of executive functions (EF) and self-regulation. The roles of EF are exam...
متن کاملPulmonary gas transfer in children and adolescents born extremely preterm.
In extremely preterm-born infants, gas exchange takes place in developmentally fetal lungs, disturbing normal acinar growth and differentiation, potentially with long term negative consequences for lung function. The aim was to compare alveolar function in children and adolescents born extremely preterm and at term by measuring diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO). Since th...
متن کاملVentilatory Efficiency in Children and Adolescents Born Extremely Preterm
Purpose: Children and adolescents born extremely preterm (EP) have lower dynamic lung volumes and gas transfer capacity than subjects born at term. Most studies also report lower aerobic capacity. We hypothesized that ventilatory efficiency was poorer and that breathing patterns differed in EP-born compared to term-born individuals. Methods: Two area-based cohorts of participants born with gest...
متن کاملVoice abnormalities at school age in children born extremely preterm.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Voice abnormality is a frequent finding in school age children born at <25 weeks' gestation in Western Australia. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of voice abnormality, voice-related quality of life, and demographic and intubation factors in this population. METHODS Survivors <25 weeks' gestational age in Western Australia born from 1996 to ...
متن کاملBlood Pressure in 6‐Year‐Old Children Born Extremely Preterm
BACKGROUND Advances in perinatal medicine have increased infant survival after very preterm birth. Although this progress is welcome, there is increasing concern that preterm birth is an emerging risk factor for hypertension at young age, with implications for the lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease. METHODS AND RESULTS We measured casual blood pressures (BPs) in a population-based cohort...
