Abstract

Objective: Describe the developmental characteristics of preterm and small for gestational age infants in the first 2 years of life. Subjects: Children were born in 20 communes of Thai Nguyen province, divided into 3 groups: 147 preterm infants, 180 term - small for gestational age (SGA) infants, 1243 term – appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants.

At 24 months, preterm children had the lowest fine motor score (105.9 points), followed by SGA children (106.5 points), and the highest was AGA children (108.4 points). Other areas of development of the 3 groups of children had not differences. The levels of development in the 3 groups of children at 12 months and 24 months is mainly at an average level. The rates of average cognitive development ranged from 47% to 53% at 12 months and from 79% to 83% at 24 months.
