摘要
Objective To determine how neonatal growth velocity affects the association between birth weight and neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants born preterm. Study design This study is a secondary analysis of the Maternal Omega-3 Supplementation to Reduce Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Very Preterm Infants (MOBYDIck) randomized multicenter trial conducted in breastfed infants born at <29 weeks of gestation, whose mothers were supplemented with docosahexaenoic acid or placebo during the neonatal period. Neurodevelopmental outcomes were assessed at 18-22 months of corrected age using the Bayley-III cognitive and language composite scores. The role of neonatal growth velocity was assessed with causal mediation and linear regression models. Subgroup analyses were stratified by birth weight z-score categories (<25th, ≥25th-≤75th, and >75th percentiles). Results Neurodevelopmental outcomes were available for 379 children (mean gestational age, 26.7 ± 1.5 weeks). Growth velocity partially mediated the relationships between birth weight and cognitive (β = −1.1; 95% CI, −2.2 to −0.02; P = .05) and language scores (β = −2.1; 95% CI, −3.3 to −0.8; P = .002). An increase by 1 g/kg/day in growth velocity was associated with an increase by 1.1 point in the cognitive score (95% CI, −0.03 to 2.1; P = .06) and 1.9 point in the language score (95% CI, 0.7 to 3.1; P = .001), after adjustment for birth weight z-score. For children with birth weight <25th percentile, a 1 g/kg/day increase in growth velocity was associated with an increase by 3.3 points in the cognitive score (95% CI, 0.5 to 6.0; P = .02) and 4.1 points in the language score (95% CI, 1.3 to 7.0; P = .004). Conclusions Postnatal growth velocity mediated the relationship between birth weight and neurodevelopmental performance, with larger effects for children with lower birth weight.
