Resum
Preterm newborns with germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (GM-IVH) are at a higher risk of evidencing neurodevelopmental alterations. Present study aimed to explore the long-term efects that GM-IVH have on hippocampal subfelds, and their correlates with memory. The sample consisted of 58 participants, including 36 preterm-born (16 with GM-IVH and 20 without neonatal brain injury), and 22 full-term children aged between 6 and 15 years old. All participants underwent a cognitive assessment and magnetic resonance imaging study. GM-IVH children evidenced lower scores in Full Intelligence Quotient and memory measures compared to their low-risk preterm and full-term peers. High-risk preterm children with GM-IVH evidenced signifcantly lower total hippocampal volumes bilaterally and hippocampal subfeld volumes compared to both low-risk preterm and full-term groups. Finally, signifcant positive correlations between memory and hippocampal subfeld volumes were only found in preterm participants together; memory and the right CA-feld correlation remained signifcant after Bonferroni correction was applied (p= .002). In conclusion, memory alterations and both global and regional volumetric reductions in the hippocampus were found to be specifcally related to a preterm sample with GM-IVH. Nevertheless, results also suggest that prematurity per se has a long-lasting impact on the association between the right CA-feld volume and memory during childhood.
