Executive function and behaviour problems in school-age children born at risk of neonatal hypoglycaemia.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To examine the relationship between neonatal hypoglycaemia and specific areas of executive function and behaviour in mid-childhood.

Method

Participants in a prospective cohort study of infants born late preterm or at term at risk of neonatal hypoglycaemia were assessed at 9 to 10 years. We assessed executive function using performance-based (Cambridge Neuropsychological Tests Automated Battery) and questionnaire-based (Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function) measures and behaviour problems with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire.

Results

We assessed 480 (230 females, 250 males; mean age 9 years 5 months [SD 4 months, range 8 ye
