Abstract | Background: Late preterm (LPT) infants are increasingly treated for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). However, neurodevelopmental differences of LPT infants may independently influence the neurologic exam and confound care. Methods: Perinatal and outcome characteristics were extracted along with the worst autonomic and state/neuromuscular/reflex Sarnat components in a cross-section of infants with moderate/severe HIE. Infants were classified as late preterm (LPT, 34-36 weeks) or term (>36 weeks). Results: 250 infants were identified, 55 were late preterm. LPT infants had lower mean gestational age and birthweight and greater length of stay (LOS). LPT infants had higher median scores for the Moro and respiratory autonomic components, but no difference in total score. Conclusions: LPT infants had increased LOS, worse Moro reflex, and respiratory status, but no clinically or statistically significant differences in total Sarnat scores. Although it is important to note the impact of immaturity on the exam, it is unlikely to independently alter management. |
