A systematic review and meta-analysis found that approximately one fifth of survivors of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) develop cerebral palsy (CP), even in cases of mild HIE. HIV-exposed infants have inferior neurobehavioral functioning, which may affect their quality of life and ability to develop relationships. Daycare attendance has a positive impact on language development in preterm children, particularly among firstborn and children with low maternal education. Early shared reading, improved attendance rates at NICU follow-up programs, and screenings for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are effective interventions for preterm children. Neighborhood characteristics can influence cognitive outcomes in infants with HIE, highlighting the need for targeted interventions. Implementing parental reading practices in the NICU promotes bonding and neurodevelopment in preterm infants. A pilot study in 2021 found that parental reading in NICUs is safe and beneficial for premature infants' neurodevelopment. [Extracted from the article] more...
