近日，中山大学公共卫生学院(深圳)副教授陈若青团队与瑞典卡罗林斯卡医学院合作开展的一项研究发现，中晚期早产儿面临神经发育的长期健康风险，这一问题应引起家长及医疗与公共卫生体系的重视。
研究中，专家们对中晚期早产儿进行了长期的追踪观察，发现他们在成长过程中，相较于足月出生的婴儿，更容易出现神经发育问题。这些问题可能包括学习障碍、注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）以及情绪问题等。专家提示，尽管这些早产儿在出生后可能看起来健康，但他们的神经系统发育可能并未完全成熟，这可能会影响到他们的长期健康。
这项研究的结果提醒我们，对于中晚期早产儿，我们不能仅仅关注他们的短期健康状况，还要关注他们可能面临的长期风险。家长需要给予这些孩子更多的关注和支持，医疗与公共卫生体系也需要提供更全面的跟踪和服务。
Title: Alert! Long-term health risks of neurodevelopment in late preterm infants should not be ignored
Keywords: Preterm infants, Neurodevelopment, Health risks
News content: Recent research conducted by Associate Professor Chen Ruoqing’s team from the School of Public Health at Sun Yat-sen University (Shenzhen) in collaboration with scholars from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden has found that the long-term health risks of neurodevelopment in late preterm infants should not be overlooked, a issue that should concern both parents and medical and public health systems.
In the study, experts conducted long-term follow-up observations of late preterm infants and found that they are more likely to experience neurodevelopmental issues compared to full-term infants. These issues may include learning disabilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and emotional problems. Experts warn that although these infants may appear healthy after birth, their nervous system development may not be fully mature, which could impact their long-term health.
The results of this study serve as a reminder that we cannot just focus on the short-term health of late preterm infants. Parents need to provide more attention and support for these children, and medical and public health systems need to offer more comprehensive tracking and services.
