dc.description.abstract | Developmental functioning of infants and young children who are between 1 month and 42 months of old age is being assessed by Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley-III) tool. The aim of this study was to assess developmental outcome of the preterm babies during their one year of life. A longitudinal study was conducted among 173 preterm babies who were born between 28+1- 36 +6 weeks of gestation during the period of October 2015 to February 2017 in Teaching Hospital, Jaffna, Sri Lanka. The mean gestational age was 35(±1.96) weeks. Among the preterm babies, 52.6% (91 babies) were males. The mean birth weight of the preterm babies was 2.23 (±0.58) kg. The mean cognitive score at their 3, 6 and 12 months were 87.6 (±9.9), 98.4 (±9.9), 95.1 (±6.8) respectively. The mean language score at their 3, 6 and 12 months were 96.8 (±10.6), 97.7 (±11.8), 101.2 (±89.1) respectively. The mean motor score at their 3, 6 and 12 months were 86.9 (±9.1), 97.7 (±11.8), 92.9 (±8.5) respectively. In paired t- test, cognitive scores increased significantly between 3 and 6 months of age (p= 0.000) and between 3 and 12 months of age (p=0.000), while decreased between 6 and 12 months of age (p=0.013). Language scores increased significantly between 3 and 6months (p=0.009). Motor scores increased significantly between 3 and 6 months (p=0.000) and between 3 and 12 months (p=0.000). In this present study it was found that cut-off of composite score of 70 was appropriate to define developmental delay. | en_US |
