Implication

Retrospective cohort study examines language outcomes related to auditory processing in preterm infants, suggesting follow-up needs.

Key Points

  • This study examines the link between neonatal auditory brainstem conduction and long-term language outcomes in preterm infants.
  • Retrospective cohort study of 45 preterm infants born at ≤33 weeks without hearing loss.
  • ABR testing conducted at term-equivalent age with assessment of I–V IPL and language-social DQs.
  • Language-social DQs assessed at 3 and 5–6 years using the Kyoto Scale of Psychological Development.
  • Longer I–V IPL at term-equivalent age correlated with lower language-social DQs at 3 years (rs = −0.32, p = 0.03).
  • At 5–6 years, longer I–V IPL remained significantly associated with lower DQ scores (β = −21.00, 95% CI: −40.6 to −1.40, p < 0.05).
