dc.description.abstract | [spa] Introducción Los efectos de la prematuridad sobre el funcionamiento cognitivo a largo plazo son poco conocidos. En población española no existe un estudio detallado del rendimiento cognitivo de los adolescentes nacidos prematuros. Objetivo Explorar el rendimiento en las escalas de inteligencia de Wechsler en una amplia muestra de adolescentes con antecedentes de prematuridad, describir la significación clínica de este rendimiento y analizar la capacidad discriminativa de los distintos subtests. Pacientes y métodos Se evaluó el coeficiente de inteligencia de 62 sujetos pretérmino y 62 controles a través de la administración completa de las escalas de inteligencia Wechsler. Además, se evaluaron diversas funciones neuropsicológicas específicas. Resultados Se observaron diferencias significativas en los cocientes de inteligencia total, verbal y manipulativo, así como en la mayoría de subtests, aunque menos del 30% de los sujetos prematuros presentaron un rendimiento alterado. Los subtests más sensibles al bajo rendimiento de los prematuros fueron: vocabulario, claves e historietas. Las diferencias significativas en aprendizaje, memoria, flexibilidad cognitiva y fluidez verbal, no se mantuvieron al controlar por el rendimiento cognitivo general. Conclusiones Los adolescentes con antecedentes de prematuridad como grupo presentan un bajo rendimiento en la escala de inteligencia de Wechsler, aunque la mayoría de ellos obtienen puntuaciones dentro del intervalo de la normalidad. Los distintos subtests que componen esta escala no presentan el mismo grado de sensibilidad al evaluar las posibles dificultades de rendimiento cognitivo de los adolescentes pretérmino. | - |
dc.description.abstract | [eng] Little is understood about the effects of prematurity on long-term cognitive functioning. No detailed studies have been carried out in a Spanish population to investigate the cognitive performance of adolescents who were born preterm. Aims. To utilise the Wechsler intelligence scales to examine the performance of a broad sample of adolescents who were born preterm, to describe the clinical significance of this performance and to analyse the discriminatory powers of the different subtests. Subjects and methods. The intelligence quotients of 62 preterm subjects and 62 controls were evaluated by administering the full Wechsler intelligence scales. A number of specific neuropsychological functions were also assessed. Results. Significant differences were observed in the overall, verbal and manipulative intelligence quotients, as well as in most of the subtests, although less than 30% of the preterm subjects displayed any alterations in their performance. The subtests that were most sensitive to the poor performance of the preterm subjects were vocabulary, coding and picture arrangement. The significant differences in learning, memory, cognitive flexibility and verbal fluency were not upheld on controlling for general cognitive performance. Conclusions. Adolescents with a history of prematurity as a group offer low performance on the Wechsler intelligence scale, although most of them achieve scores within the range of what can be considered to be normal. The different subtests that make up this scale do not exhibit the same degree of sensitivity when evaluating the possible difficulties preterm adolescents have in cognitive performance | - |
