in preterm and full-term children. The present study carried out in Damietta
primary schools. The target population were all children in Damietta primary
schools. The study included 762 children: 206 children who were delivered at
preterm (group B) and 556 children were delivered at full term (group A). All
children were submitted to Binet intelligence test and self-administered questionnaires
were by the parents. For completing the Binet intelligence test each student
was interviewed separately in a quite suitable room by the researcher and two
well-trained psychologists. There was significant increase of behaviour score
(40-60 and >60) in group B (preterm) in comparison to full term group (26.2,
9.7 vs. 13.3, 4.7%, respectively). Similarly, there was significant increase
of enuresis and articulation disorders in preterm group. Finally, there was
significant decline of IQ in preterm in comparison to full term group. Furthermore,
there was significant correlation between IQ from one site and verbal reasoning,
abstract-visual reasoning, quantitative reasoning, short term memory, aggression,
attention problems, somatic problems from the other side in full term group
while in preterm group, this correlation was significant for verbal reasoning,
abstract-visual reasoning, quantitative reasoning, short term and delinquency.
Results of the present study revealed that, preterm had lower total score IQ
and so, preterm are vulnerable to cognitive affection.]]>Aarnoudse-Moens, C.S., N. Weisglas-Kuperus, J.B. van Goudoever and J. Oosterlaan,2009124717728Barre, N., A. Morgan, L.W. Doyle and P.J.
