Abstract

Purpose

This study examined the neurobehavioral functioning in preterm infants diagnosed with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) grades III and IV, using the Assessment of Preterm Infants’ Behavior (APIB).

Design and Sample

The APIB was completed on nine infants with IVH III/IV at 36 and 40weeks postmenstrual age to determine the effects of IVH on the neurobehavioral functioning and maturation over time. The APIB neurobehavioral scores (i.e., physiologic, motor, state, attention/interaction, regulatory, and examiner facilitation subsystem scores) were examined in relation to the two different testing times and to infants without lesion.

Results

APIB scores at 36weeks suggested easily disorganized and poorly modulated behavioral regulation and low threshold of disorganization and stress. At 40 weeks, poor overall behavioral regulation persisted; only motor differences statistically improved between the two ages. Neurobehavior was significantly poor in all but state subsystems when tested at both ages in infants with a brain lesion.
