This study aimed to assess the impact of small for gestational age (SGA) on the development of Taiwanese preschool children using the Chinese Child Developmental Inventory (CCDI).
A total of 982 children were enrolled in this study between June 2011 and December 2015. The samples were divided into two groups: SGA ( = 116, mean age = 2.98) and non-SGA ( = 866, mean age = 3.33) groups. The development scores were based on the CCDI, which consist of eight dimensions of development between the two groups. The linear regression analysis was adopted to examine the relationship of SGA with child development.
On average, the children in the SGA group scored less in all eight subitems of the CCDI than those in the non-SGA group. However, regression analysis revealed that there was no significant difference in both performance and delay frequency in the CCDI between the two groups.
SGA children had similar developmental scores in CCDI as non-SGA children for preschool age in Taiwan.
本研究旨在使用中国儿童发展量表(CCDI)评估小于胎龄儿(SGA)对台湾学龄前儿童发育的影响。
2011年6月至2015年12月期间,共有982名儿童纳入本研究。样本分为两组:SGA组(n = 116,平均年龄 = 2.98岁)和非SGA组(n = 866,平均年龄 = 3.33岁)。发育得分基于CCDI,该量表由两组之间的八个发育维度组成。采用线性回归分析来检验SGA与儿童发育之间的关系。
平均而言,SGA组儿童在CCDI的所有八个子项目中的得分均低于非SGA组儿童。然而,回归分析显示,两组在CCDI的表现和延迟频率方面均无显著差异。
在台湾,学龄前SGA儿童在CCDI上的发育得分与非SGA儿童相似。
