The relationship between a newborn score of minor physical anomalies (MPAs) and behavior at ages 1 and 2 was examined. From an initial screening population of 933, 63 high anomaly and 78 low anomaly infants were followed until age 2 by examiners blind for the newborn anomaly score. High anomaly infants were more likely to be temperamentally difficult as rated by parent interview and direct observation. A subgroup of six infants who were considered irritable at both ages 1 and 2 were all from the high anomaly group. However, there was little agreement between behavioral ratings across situations and over time, and there were no significant predictors of behavior problems at age 2 based on any newborn or 1-year measure. These results indicate that the newborn anomaly score by itself is unlikely to prove clinically useful in predicting preschool behavior problems for an unselected population. The usefulness of this measure for other, "high-risk," populations remains to be explored.
研究了新生儿轻微身体异常（MPA）评分与1岁和2岁时行为之间的关系。从933名初始筛查人群中，63名高异常婴儿和78名低异常婴儿由对新生儿异常评分不知情的检查人员跟踪至2岁。根据家长访谈和直接观察，高异常婴儿在气质方面更易出现困难。在1岁和2岁时均被认为易怒的6名婴儿亚组全部来自高异常组。然而，不同情境和不同时间的行为评分之间几乎没有一致性，并且基于任何新生儿或1岁时的测量，均没有2岁时行为问题的显著预测因素。这些结果表明，仅新生儿异常评分本身在预测未筛选人群的学前行为问题方面不太可能被证明具有临床实用性。该测量方法对其他“高危”人群的实用性仍有待探索。
