Abstract: (442 Views)
Background & Aim: Early detection of developmental delays is essential for designing and implementing appropriate and timely interventions for all children, particularly those facing challenges at birth, such as low birth weight and the need for admission to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Therefore, this study aimed to compare the developmental test scores of low birth weight infants with a history of NICU hospitalization to those of normal weight infants at a corrected age of 18 months. Material & Methods: This case-control study was conducted with 100 children in 2021. The children in the case group were selected using a census method, while those in the control group were selected through a simple random method. Data were collected using a screening questionnaire focused on age and developmental stages. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 26. Descriptive statistics were employed to description of the data, and the chi-square test was utilized to compare the percentage of developmental status across various areas based on demographic characteristics between the two groups, with a 95% confidence level. Results: According to the chi-square test, there was no significant difference between the two groups in children's development across the areas of communication, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, problem solving, and social personality. However, in the area of problem solving, underweight children scored significantly lower than overweight children (p = 0.001). The gender of the children was significantly related only to developmental disorders in the area of problem solving (p < 0.02). Additionally, there was no significant relationship between a history of ventilator use and any of the areas of the developmental assessment (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The study revealed that most developmental areas of underweight children fell within the normal range and did not differ significantly from their normal-weight peers. However, underweight children demonstrated significantly lower problem-solving skills. Additionally, gender significantly influenced developmental challenges in problem-solving, whereas a history of ventilator use had no impact on development. It is recommended to create and implement intervention programs aimed at enhancing problem-solving skills in underweight children, particularly among girls.
