This study evaluates the psychomotor development of 228 undernourished infants submitted to an integral rehabilitation program in Nutritional Recovery Centers. At admission these children present a moderate retardation of their developmental quotient: mean 0.59 +/- 0.17, improving significantly to mean 0.79 +/- 0.4 (p < 0.001) after an average period of 178.2 +/- 63.9 days of intervention. As regards areas of development, rehabilitation only demonstrates a significant change in coordination and language, not so in the social and motor areas. Those children presenting the most severe developmental delays are also those who obtain the greater benefits from this integral rehabilitation program.
本研究评估了228名在营养康复中心接受综合康复项目的营养不良婴儿的心理运动发育情况。入院时，这些儿童的发育商数存在中度迟缓：平均为0.59±0.17，经过平均178.2±63.9天的干预后，显著改善至平均0.79±0.4（p<0.001）。在发育领域方面，康复仅在协调和语言方面显示出显著变化，在社交和运动领域则不然。那些发育延迟最严重的儿童也是从这个综合康复项目中获益最大的儿童。
