Speech-language-hearing follow-up of preterm children: feeding and neuropsychomotor performance
ABSTRACT Purpose: to establish the breastfeeding rates at hospital discharge and post-discharge, analyze neuropsychomotor development, and indicate the rehabilitation referral rate of preterm children attended by speech-language-hearing therapists. Methods: a total of 39 preterm children participated in the study. They were born at a Children and Maternity Hospital between August 2016 and January 2017 and were followed up by the speech-language-hearing therapists during the hospital stay. The Spearman’s statistical test was used. The p-value was set at 0.005; the correlation value was: r = 0.10 to 0.39, weak correlation; r = 0.40 to 0.69, moderate correlation; and r = 0.70 to 1, strong correlation. Results: of the 39 participants, 17 (43.6%) were discharged on exclusive breastfeeding; 4 (10.25%), on mixed milk feeding (breast and cup); 14 (35.9%), on mixed milk feeding (breast and baby bottle); and 4 (10.25%), on artificial milk feeding - baby bottle. After introducing solid food, 12.8% remained on breastfeeding, 38.4% on mixed milk feeding, and 48.7% in artificial milk feeding. Complementary feeding was introduced at 5 months (adjusted age). Auditory, motor and language development occurred as expected in 90% of the children, considering the milestone’s adjusted age. Conclusion: at hospital discharge, most infants were on exclusive or mixed breastfeeding. After discharge, mixed breastfeeding lasted longer, and low neuropsychomotor development impairment rates and rehabilitation referral rates were observed.
