A influência da hemorragia intracraniana grau I e grau II no desempenho motor de crianças prematuras e de baixo peso

Abstract

Objectives: To analyze whether intracranial hemorrhage grades I and II interfere with the motor performance of premature and low birth weight children, aged 0 to 1 year. Materials and Methods: Descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study with children with a documented diagnosis of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Two questionnaires were used to characterize the sample and the participants were evaluated using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) in the Brazilian version. In data analysis, the SPSS 17.0 program was used, for the description of descriptive statistics and for associations, Pearson's chi-square test (p≤ 0.05). Results: A total bank of 278 premature and low birth weight children was used, of which 43 had a confirmed diagnosis of Intracranial Hemorrhage. 37 children were selected, 23 with ICH grade I and 14 with ICH grade II. We highlight the prevalence of very premature babies (28 to 3 weeks), with very low weight (<1500g), the prevalence of families where the monthly income is 1.5 minimum wages and schooling, mostly teaching complete medium. Conclusion: There was no relationship between parental education and children's income and motor performance. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
