Abstract:
The prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders in children remains high, and the largest populations at the highest risk are premature babies.Neurodevelopmental disorders in children have become a significant global public health concern, impacting the health of children worldwide.Neurodevelopmental disorders of preterm infants usually present as impairment or delay in cognition, motor, visual and auditory functions, social adaptability, and neuropsychological performance.However, its clinical characteristics vary significantly with the gestational age, life stage, and complicated comorbidity or complication.Inspired by the currently accepted early diagnosis and early intervention strategy, a novel preventive early intervention strategy has been developed abroad, which has achieved promising results.In this article, the clinical characteristics of neurodevelopmental disorders in preterm infants at different gestational ages and life stages, and with different complicated comorbidities or complications were comprehensively reviewed.The aim is to provide basic knowledge for the development of proper preventive early intervention strategies in high-risk premature babies, and ultimately reduce the incidence of neurodevelopmental disorders in this high-risk population.
