This paper presents a systematic review of the impact of preterm childbirth on the later executive functioning of preschool-aged children. A systematic search for studies published between 2014 and 2019 was performed using the following keywords: AND AND . The methodological quality of the reports was examined using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) statement. Thirty-two studies were reviewed and scored at least 67% on the methodological quality assessment. In comparison to children born full-term, preschool children born preterm exhibit executive functioning deficits in the dimensions of the global index, inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, working memory, and planning/executive functioning. These findings are independent of the degree of prematurity at birth. Since executive functioning has many complex components, future studies should assess the dimensions of executive functioning separately in preschool-aged children born preterm, rather than as a single measure.
本文系统综述了早产对学龄前儿童后期执行功能的影响。使用以下关键词进行了 2014 年至 2019 年发表的研究的系统检索：AND AND 。使用观察性研究的流行病学报告强化标准（STROBE）对报告的方法学质量进行了检查。共审查了 32 项研究，其方法学质量评估至少得分为 67%。与足月出生的儿童相比，早产出生的学龄前儿童在整体指数、抑制控制、认知灵活性、工作记忆和计划/执行功能等维度上表现出执行功能缺陷。这些发现与出生时的早产程度无关。由于执行功能有许多复杂的组成部分，未来的研究应该在早产的学龄前儿童中分别评估执行功能的各个维度，而不是作为单一的衡量标准。
