More than 50% of children who survive prematurity have an atypical course of development at school age, as environmental demands become more demanding. This study examines the effects of preterm birth on the cognitive, behavioral and socioemotional development of 185 children at ages five and seven years. Weaknesses were found in attention, working memory, processing speed and the ability to correctly interpret emotions at both ages five and seven. Significant correlations were found in regression and moderation models. These findings suggest that school-age children who were preterm infants are at increased risk of exhibiting impairments in several developmental domains that may affect their overall quality of life.
超过50%存活下来的早产儿在学龄期会出现非典型的发育过程，因为环境要求变得更高。本研究考察了早产对185名5岁和7岁儿童认知、行为和社会情感发展的影响。在5岁和7岁时均发现注意力、工作记忆、处理速度以及正确解读情绪的能力存在缺陷。在回归模型和调节模型中发现了显著相关性。这些发现表明，早产的学龄儿童在几个发育领域出现损伤的风险增加，这可能会影响他们的整体生活质量。
