Bayley Scales of Infant Development – Third Edition Article Summary
Title: Association between feeding difficulties and language delay in preterm infants using Bayley Scales of infant development-third edition. Purpose: The purpose of this study by Adams-Chapman et al. (2013) aimed to analyze any correlation between language development delays due to atypical feeding in preterm babies. This understanding is growing importance due to the increased survival rate of preterm infants. Study population: The Adams-Chapman et al. (2013) study population included 1,477 infants born less than or at 26 weeks gestation, and infants enrolled in a clinical trial through the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Neonatal Research Network. Methods: Data collection schedule included birth to hospital discharge, death, or 120 days postnatal age. This data included any variables that could impact development, such as demographics, and neonatal aspects. The parent/caregiver was questioned, about abnormal feeding behaviors, such as: physician orders for no oral feeding, choking, coughing, or extreme drooling…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact on neurodevelopment for very low birth weight (VLBW) newborns who received caffeine therapy within 48 hours of birth. Study population: The population used in this study were 160 newborns who met the 32-week gestational age requirement and were discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods: The study was performed retroactively and used a cohort of newborns that were between 18-22 months of post-menstrual age (PMA). Data was collected on each participant including day of life when the caffeine therapy was started and other data about the clinical course. The participants were put into 3 categories: no caffeine, caffeine therapy started before 48 hours of life, caffeine therapy started after 48 hours of life. The data was taken from the participants charts from the clinic or hospital they were seen at. From the chart, the language, cognitive, and…

Wang X, Carroll X, Wang H, Zhang P, Selvaraj JN and Leeper-Woodford S (2020) Prediction of Delayed Neurodevelopment in Infants Using Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials and the Bayley II Scales. Front. Pediatr. 8:485. doi: 10.3389/fped.2020.00485 The Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potential (BAEV) is used to analyze development in infants by measuring function of the central nervous system. An abnormality outside the normal BAEV range could indicate neurodevelopmental delays later on in infancy and childhood, measured by the mental development indices (MDI), a form of the Bayley II Scales. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship of BAEP values obtained on 6-month old infants compared to MDI values of that same child at 2 years old to compare if abnormal scores on the BAEP correlate to low MDI scores, indicating a low BAEP value could predict neurodevelopmental delays in infants and children. Population: 195 infants…

Çelik, P., Ayranci Sucakli, I.A., Yakut, H.I. Which Bayley-III cut-off values should be used in different development levels? Turkish Journal Medical Science. 2020; 50:764-770. doi:10.3906/sag-1910-69 The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (BSID-II) and the more recent version, Bayley-III are the most widely used standardized tool to assess development in infancy and early childhood (0-42 months). There has been increasing concern due to the Bayley-III scoring higher than the BSID-II, indicating that it is identifying significantly fewer children with developmental delays compared to its predecessor the BSID-II. Purpose: The main purpose of this article was to determine the cutoff levels for determining mild, moderate, and severe developmental delays in the Bayley-III tool compared to that of the BDID-II Population: The population in this study was 255 (115 girls and 140 boys) between 6-24 months old that were either healthy (20%) or had developmental risks and diseases…

Title: Gross Motor Trajectories During the First Year of Life for Preterm Infants With Very Low Birth Weight Authors: Yu-Han Su, Suh-Fang Jeng, Wu-Shiun Hsieh, Yu-Kang Tu, Yen-Tzu Wu, Li-Chiou Chen Citation: Su et al. Gross Motor Trajectories During the First Year of Life for Preterm Infants With Very Low Birth Weight. Physical Therapy. Volume 97, Issue 3, 1 March 2017, Pages 365–373, https://doi.org/10.1093/ptj/pzx007 Purpose: In premature, low birth weight infants, there has been a lack of studies showing motor trajectories. It is difficult to investigate premature infants because of different developmental patterns and some infant’s recovery from premature complications. This study’s goal was to monitor premature infants’ motor development throughout their first year of life. The study then wanted to determine if they could predict the infants’ motor development by the second year of life. The study also analyzed different socioeconomic and perinatal factors that could influence motor development….

Title: Association Between Moderate and Late Preterm Birth and Neurodevelopment and Social-Emotional Development at Age 2 Years Authors: Jeanie L. Cheong, MD; Lex W. Doyle, MD; Alice C. Burnett, PhD; Katherine J. Lee, PhD; Jennifer M. Walsh, MD; Cody R. Potter, PhD; Karli Treyvaud, PhD; Deanne K. Thompson, PhD; Joy E. Olsen, PhD; Peter J. Anderson, PhD; Alicia J.

JAMA Pediatrics. 2017;171(4). doi:10.1001/jamapediatrics.2016.4805. Purpose: Prematurity has long been noted as a risk factor for potential developmental issues for children. Previously, many studies have focused on the developmental outcomes for very preterm children (<32 weeks’ gestation). However, often under-recognized is the association between moderate and late preterm (MLPT) births (32-36 weeks’ gestation) and increased risk of developmental problems when compared to their term-born peers. Given…

The previously posted information regarding the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development – III is up to date. Article Reviewed Title: Supporting play exploration and early developmental intervention versus usual care to enhance development outcomes during the transition from the neonatal intensive care unit to home: a pilot randomized controlled trial. Authors: Stacey C. Dusing, Tanya Tripathi, Emily C. Marcinowski, Leroy R. Thacker, Lisa F. Brown and Karen D. Hendricks-Muñoz Citation: Dusing et al. BMC Pediatrics (2018) 18:46 DOI 10.1186/s12887-018-1011-4 Purpose: Current developmental services intervention protocols for pre-term infants in the NICU utilizes the “wait and see” approach when determining an infant’s ability to participate in therapeutic services. Once determined eligible to participate, these “usual care” interventions are often low-intensity and often focus on one approach; motor, cognitive, or parent-child interaction. Consequently, this usual care administered has minimal lasting effects on motor and cognitive development. In comparison, Supporting Play…

All information from previous blog post is current except the price has increased to $1,350 for the comprehensive kit. Article Summary: Cirelli I, Bickle graz M, Tolsa JF. Comparison of Griffiths-II and Bayley-II tests for the developmental assessment of high-risk infants. Infant Behav Dev. 2015;41:17-25. The purpose of this article was to compare two clinically used developmental test to determine the validity and interchangeability of the Bayley-II and the Griffiths-II. The article states that the Bayley-II is often used more for research in the United States where as the Griffiths-II test is used more in Britain. The Griffiths-II has five subcategories where the Bayley-II has two. They both look at mental and psychomotor but the Griffiths-II looks at more specific subscales and then calculates one score. The Bayley-II gives a score for psychomotor development and mental development. Both are typically administered at 18 months for developmental delays. The article used…
