Functional performance, a child's ability to perform the tasks of daily living and to fulfill expected social roles, is now recommended in follow-up of preterm children. This study examined neonatal, preschool health, and motor effects on functional performance at age 4. The sample of 155 infants, classified by perinatal morbidity and birth weight, was assessed during a home visit. Neonatal illness, socioeconomic status, preschool health, and motor predictors explained 44% of the variance in functional performance. Functional performance is a useful clinical measure to understand how well preterm children perform age-expected daily activities as well as the family burden of preterm sequelae.
功能表现，即儿童完成日常生活任务和履行预期社会角色的能力，现在被推荐用于对早产儿童的随访中。本研究调查了新生儿期、学龄前健康状况以及运动能力对4岁时功能表现的影响。对155名根据围产期发病率和出生体重分类的婴儿样本进行了家访评估。新生儿疾病、社会经济地位、学龄前健康状况和运动能力预测因素解释了功能表现差异的44%。功能表现是一种有用的临床指标，可用于了解早产儿童在进行符合其年龄预期的日常活动方面的表现，以及早产后遗症给家庭带来的负担。
