Study on the effects of early system intervention to intelligence and physical growth of premature infants

Abstract

Objective To explore the effects of early system intervention to intelligence and physical growth of premature infants. Methods 179 cases of premature low birth weight infants were randomly divided into intervention group of 93 cases, 86 cases in control group, premature children of two groups had regular physical examinations and health guidance, the intervention group regularly accepted early intervention from the 42nd day after birth. In correcting age as 1 year old, babies of two groups were measured in length and weight, assessment of their intelligence by belle infant development scale. Results The Mental development index (MDI), psychomotor development index (PDI) of intervention group were higher than those of control group, there was a significant difference (P＜ 0.05), the weight, height development indicators of both groups had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05) .Conclusion Early intervention to premature children can promote their intellectual development. Key words: Premature children; Early intervention; Intellectual development
