Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of premature on the behavior and emotion when the infants grow up to 4~6 years old. Methods A total of 97 late-preterm infants (34 weeks < gestational age < 37 weeks) which were followed up in Zhongshan Bo'ai Hospital of Guangdong Province were assessed by the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) when they were 4~6 years old, and compared the Results with those of the 107 normal controls. Results The total score of late-preterm group (25.67±20.07) was significantly higher than that in the control group (20.85±18.29)(P<0.05).Also most of the subscales scores were significantly higher in late-preterm group than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Children at 4~6 years old with late-preterm history are more likely to suffer from behavioral and emotional problems.
