2016, Infant Behavior and DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :The present results concur with the literature, suggesting that prematurity is associated with early withdrawal in infancy (Braarud et al., 2013), as well as with internalizing difficulties in later childhood (e.g. Sykes et al., 1997; Tessier, Nadeau, Boivin, & Tremblay, 1997). Some studies of premature children have mainly reported internalizing behavior problems (e.g. Aarnoudse-Moens, Weisglas-Kuperus, van Goudoever, & Oosterlaan, 2009; Schothorst & van Engeland, 1996), whereas other studies have found higher rates of both internalizing and externalizing problems (Bhutta, Cleves, Casey, Cradock, & Anand, 2002). It is noteworthy that more recent research has shown that preschool depressive symptoms, such as internalization, may lead into a path of further depression in later childhood and early adolescence (cf. Luby, Gaffrey, Tillman, April, & Belden, 2014).
Neurodevelopmental outcomes of near-term small-for-gestational-age infants with and without signs of placental underperfusion
2014, PlacentaCitation Excerpt :Neurodevelopmental problems arising from intrauterine insults are a major socioeconomic burden [1]. Small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants more often display lower intelligence levels, poor academic performance, low social competence, behavioral problems [2–4], and long-term cognitive impairments [5–10]. Such deficits are well documented in preterm SGA infants, who are more inclined (vs preterm, normal-sized infants) to show behavioral [11,12], sensory [13,14], and cognitive [5,7,8,15] dysfunctions later in life.
Preterm birth and adolescent social functioning-alterations in emotion-processing brain areas
2013, Journal of PediatricsCitation Excerpt :Therefore, the social difficulties experienced by VPT-born adolescents in the present study were not due to impairments in global cognition. These results are in line with findings from other research groups, which have reported on socialization difficulties following VPT birth in adolescence: increased problems of social functioning34; increased teacher-reported social rejection and self-reported lower self-esteem16; and lower scores on assessments of sociability and emotional well-being.17 Furthermore, in this study, differences in SI scores between the groups persisted after controlling for environmental disadvantage as measured by a ‘psychosocial adversity’ index comprising of family sociodemographic characteristics and parental psychiatric family history.
