Aim

To clarify the relationship between early infantile spontaneous movement of very-low-birth-weight infants (VLBWIs) and sensory characteristics in childhood.

Study design

Prospective cohort study. We investigated the association between the Motor Optimality Score-Revised (MOS-R), a detailed assessment of general movements (GMs) at the corrected age of 9–17 weeks and the Infant/Toddler Sensory Profile Japanese version (ITSP-J) at the corrected age of 3 years. A multiple regression analysis was performed to examine the correlation of ITSP-J and MOS-R with patient clinical background factors.

Subjects

Fifty-three VLBWIs (median gestational age: 28 weeks, 6 days; median birth weight: 997 g) who were managed at the NICU of Oita University from September 2013 to June 2019.

Results

A multiple regression analysis revealed that the ITSP-J subscale in the sensory section of visual score was significantly correlated with the age-adequate movement repertoire subscore of MOS-R, and in the sensory section of vestibular score was correlated with the fidgety subscore of MOS-R. For both visual and vestibular section scores, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) showed an independent association with the MOS-R subscore.

Conclusion

Spontaneous movement characteristics in early infancy were associated with sensory characteristics in early childhood.

极低出生体重婴儿的早期自发运动与校正年龄 3 岁时的感觉特征相关

目的

阐明极低出生体重儿（VLBWI）的早期婴儿自发运动与儿童时期感觉特征之间的关系。

学习规划

前瞻性队列研究。我们研究了运动优化评分修订版 (MOS-R)、校正年龄 9-17 周时一般运动 (GM) 的详细评估与婴儿/幼儿感觉概况日语版 (ITSP-J) 之间的关联，网址为修正年龄3岁。进行多元回归分析以检查 ITSP-J 和 MOS-R 与患者临床背景因素的相关性。

科目

2013年9月至2019年6月在大分大学新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）管理的53例极低出生体重儿（中位孕龄：28周6天；中位出生体重：997g）。

结果

多元回归分析显示，ITSP-J 视觉评分中的感觉部分与 MOS-R 的适龄运动项目评分显着相关，前庭感觉部分中的评分与 MOS 的烦躁评分显着相关。 -R。对于视觉和前庭部分评分，脑室内出血 (IVH) 显示与 MOS-R 子评分独立相关。

结论

婴儿早期的自发运动特征与儿童早期的感觉特征相关。
