چکیده

background: to determine whether using mechanical ventilation in neonatal intensive care unit (nicu) influences motor development of low birth weight (lbw) infants and to compare their motor development with normal birth weight (nbw) infants at the age of 8 to 12 months using peabody developmental motor scale 2 (pdms-2). methods: this cross sectional study was conducted on 70 lbw infants in two groups, mechanical ventilation (mv) group, n=35 and without mechanical ventilation (wmv) group, n=35 and 40 healthy nbw infants matched with lbw group for age. motor quotients were determined using pdms-2 and compared in all groups using anova statistical method and spss version 17. results: comparison of the mean developmental motor quotient (dmq) of both mv and wmv groups showed significant differences with nbw group (p< 0.05). also, significant difference was found between the gross dmq of mv group and wmv group (p< 0.05). moreover, in mv group, both gross and fine motor quotients were considered as below average (16.12%). in wmv group, the gross motor quotient was considered as average (49.51%) and the fine motor quotient was considered as below average (16.12%). conclusion: it seems that lbw infants have poor fine motor outcomes. the gross motor outcomes, on the other hand, will be significantly more influenced by using mechanical ventilation. in addition, more differences seem to be related to lower birth weight. very low birth weight (vlbw) infants are more prone to developmental difficulties than lbw infants with the history of using mechanical ventilation especially in fine motor development.
