RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To identify factors associated with neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) in patients with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). STUDY DESIGN: We identified 151 patients with moderate to severe BPD from 2010 to 2014 with complete Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID) scores at 24 months corrected age. We defined NDI as any diagnosis of cerebral palsy or ≥1 BSID composite scores of <80. RESULTS: The mean corrected age at BSID was 23 ± 1 months; 18% had a cognitive score of <80, 37% had a communication score of <80, and 26% had a motor score of <80. Cerebral palsy was diagnosed in 22 patients (15%); 84 (56%) patients did not have NDI. Patients with NDI had lower birth weight, but there was no difference in gestational age at birth, severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), necrotizing enterocolitis, or patent ductus arteriosus ligation compared with patients with no NDI. Ventilator days were greater in patients with NDI than in patients without NDI. More patients with NDI received furosemide and systemic corticosteroids and the hospital length of stay was longer than in patients with no NDI. Logistic regression modeling demonstrated that for every additional 100 g of birth weight the odds of NDI decreased by 35% and for every additional hospital day the odds of NDI increased by 1.3%. CONCLUSIONS: In our cohort of patients with moderate to severe BPD, the majority had no NDI, and low birth weight and length of hospital stay were associated with increased risk of developing NDI. This finding suggests that there are potentially modifiable factors associated with better neurodevelopmental outcomes in patients with BPD that deserve further study.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the utility of a telephone-based interview system in providing ongoing monitoring of the developmental and functional status of children with both positive newborn screens for Krabbe disease and low galactocerebrosidase activity on confirmatory testing, and to determine whether this approach provides improved compliance with follow-up compared with formal neuropsychological testing. STUDY DESIGN: Infants with low galactocerebrosidase activity (as detected by the New York State newborn screening program) were eligible for this longitudinal prospective cohort study. Consenting families were interviewed by telephone at infant ages of 4, 8, 12, 18, and 24 months. Designated instruments were the Ages and Stages Questionnaires, the Clinical Linguistic and Auditory Milestone Scale, the Gross Motor Quotient, the Warner Initial Developmental Evaluation of Adaptive and Functional Skills 50, and the WeeFIM II 0-3 instrument. Assessments with the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley III) were scheduled at age 12 and 24 months. RESULTS: Seventeen patients were enrolled; 16 were assessed at age 12 and 18 months, and 15 were assessed at age 24 months. Scores were within the normal range on all tests of developmental and functional status, with the exception of expressive language. Only 7 patients completed the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition assessments; all their scores were in the normal range. CONCLUSION: This telephone-based technique allows close monitoring of the developmental and functional status of children with a positive newborn screen for this neurometabolic disease, with special attention to detecting plateauing or regression of developmental milestones. Compliance is improved compared with formal neuropsychological testing.
