The purpose of this study was to assess the cognitive development in healthy late preterm (LP) infants born between 33 and 36 weeks gestation. A longitudinal study was conducted on a cohort that was admitted to a Neonatal Unit during a specific time frame and enrolled in the research study. These children were enrolled in the research study and in follow-up studies until they reached preschool. Even though this …show more content…
In order to obtain their mental development index these children were previously tested using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development II (BSID-II) corrected …show more content…

This study is assessing several factors within an infant’s environment that may contribute to physical and mental developmental delays in preterm/low birth weight infants when compared to term infants. Such as the mother’s overall health and what role plays in the physical development of the infant based on her mental, physical and emotional state. Also, how environmental exposure and low socioeconomic status can play the pivotal role in the physical development. This questionnaire did not include information regarding the husband’s poor mental or physical conditions and child mental and physical state.
In Japan over 1400 questionnaires were given to parents to complete if their child had received his/her 4-month checkup. Only 421 questionnaires were completed and returned and out of that group only 318 qualified for the study. Some of the factors reviewed were the mother’s age, employment status, childbirth history, her stress level and child rearing practice as well as the functioning of the family. They also studied the demographic for the infant at birth and again at 4
