Early development and later psychological outcome in children with perinatal asphyxia
The aim of this study was to analyse the early and later development, behaviour and cognitive status of children with perinata lasphyxia (PA) of varying degrees. The study included a suitable clinical sample of 35 children born on term without any serious neurological deficit. The developmental status of the children was monitored using the Čuturić Development Test (RTČ) when the children were aged from 2 to 8. Their cognitive function (visual-motor integration, spatial integration and overall intellectual level) were measured by standard psychological tests at the ages of 5 to 10 years. Their attention function and behaviour were assessed on the basis of DSM-IV criteria in the ADHD domain. The results indicated that children with higher levels of PA more frequently show uneven development and more behavioural problems in the early states. This disharmony persists and intensifies later even in the lower risk group, and appears with later behavioural problems and specific cognitive deficits. Our aim was to emphasize the need to monitor children with perinatal asphyxia right up to school age, regardless of the level of risk, and the need for special educational support.
