| Abstract | Background: Both active and second-hand smoking (SHS) can cause complications during pregnancy and after delivery. This study aimed to assess how tobacco exposure (active and passive) during the fetal period could impact the psychomotor development of children when they attain the age of 3-6 years. Methods: The study included 160 mothers and their 3-6 year-old children. Two research groups were set up of children born to active or SHS mothers during the period when they were pregnant and a control group of children of non-smoking mothers. The parameters of the psychomotor development of the children were measured using the Age & Stage Questionnaires 3® (ASQ-3). Results: Children, whose mothers were smokers themselves or who were exposed to SHS during the period of pregnancy had an average psychomotor development score of 221 points versus 243.5 points in the control group. Twenty-six percent had delays (near or under the cut-off scores) in one of the assessed psychomotor areas and 60% had two or more psychomotor delays; 36% of children whose mothers were not exposed to smoking during pregnancy had normal psychomotor development and only 34% presented multiple psychomotor delays. Conclusions: Fetuses exposed to tobacco are more likely to achieve a psychomotor development in the 'monitor' and 'fail' areas compared to the non-exposed control group. The children exposed to smoking during their fetal development should be considered as a group at risk of developmental delays, therefore they should be closely monitored and supported by caregivers and developmental pediatricians. |
