The language abilities of 42 8-year-old preterm children with birth weight < 1,750 g from a 1-year birth cohort in northern Finland was studied with four different language tests. Control children from the same birth cohort matched individually with their preterm pairs for age, sex, twinship, mother's education, place of residence, birth order and family type were also studied. In psycholinguistic test, auditory skills did not differ between the preterm and the full-term groups. Nor did any other linguistic subtest differentiate between the groups. Instead, the preterm children scored significantly poorer than their controls in visual subtests. The study also showed that the poor performance in visual tests was associated with neonatal morbidity, namely neonatal infections, need for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). When studying the language abilities of preterm children, we suggest that qualitative methods should be used to analyse linguistic skills. We recommend versatile follow-up of preterm children until school age.

:通过四个不同的语言测试,研究了芬兰北部1岁出生队列中42名8岁以下体重小于1750 g的早产儿的语言能力。还研究了来自同一出生队列的对照儿童,分别与他们的早产配对相匹配,包括年龄,性别,双胞胎,母亲的教育程度,居住地,出生顺序和家庭类型。在心理语言测试中,早产组和足额组之间的听觉技能没有差异。其他语言子测验也没有区分这两组。取而代之的是,早产儿在视觉子测验中的得分明显低于对照组。该研究还表明,视力检查的不良表现与新生儿发病率(即新生儿感染),持续气道正压通气(CPAP)治疗和动脉导管未闭(PDA)的需要有关。在研究早产儿的语言能力时,我们建议应使用定性方法来分析语言能力。我们建议对学龄前儿童进行多方面的随访,直到学龄前。
