TL;DR
Children born EPT have increased positive ASDS and it is important to assess their socioemotional development early and pos-ASDS risk factors to facilitate prompt intervention.
Abstract
Objective
To investigate positive results on a screening instrument for autism spectrum disorder (pos-ASDS) and associated neonatal and early developmental risk factors in school-age children born extremely preterm (EPT).
STUDY
Design
Researchers assessed 380 EPT children (GA 24 to <28 weeks) at 6-7 years-of-age using the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ). Pos-ASDS was defined as an SCQ score ≥15. Logistic regression examined independent associations of perinatal factors and 18-22 months behavior and cognitive scores with pos-ASDS.
Results
Fourteen % of the children scored ≥ 15 in the ASDS (SCQ). Risk factors included male sex, lower birth weight, severe retinopathy of prematurity, motor/sensory impairments, lower cognitive scores, poorer emotional competence, and more behavioral problems at 18-22 months. Neonatal MRI and cranial ultrasound findings were not significantly different.
Conclusion
Children born EPT have increased positive ASDS. It is important to assess their socioemotional development early and pos-ASDS risk factors to facilitate prompt intervention.
OBJECTIVE: Explore the association of prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal risk factors with autism risk at 5-years corrected age in very preterm (VPT) children. STUDY DESIGN: Data from a longitudinal cohort study of 315 VPT and 172 term-born children at a US-based academic medical center were analyzed, exploring anteced...

Preliminary evidence indicates that the Checklist for Chinese Toddlers with Autism exhibits sound psychometric properties and may serve as an early screening tool for Chinese children with ASD aged 12–24 months, however, external validation is still required to establish its generalizability.

The severity of ASD symptoms, reflected by the CARS score, was the main factor associated with caregiver burden, and other aspects, such as age, comorbidities, and socioeconomic level, may also exert influence, but were not statistically significantly associated.

BACKGROUND
Neurodevelopmental disability is a chief concern of children with congenital heart disease longitudinally. Delays in cognition and language based on neurodevelopmental testing are known morbidities. Although it is known that school-age children often require special education (SPED) services, a closer look a...
