摘要

Objective

We aimed to characterize general movements in neonates with congenital gastrointestinal anomalies and to compare them to general movements in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants.

Study design

This was a retrospective, single-site study. Subjects were divided into two groups: those with gastrointestinal (GI) anomalies and ELBW infants (birth weight <1 kg). The primary outcome was general movement assessments.

Result

Ninety-six infants were included (n = 51, GI group and n = 45, ELBW group). The rates of abnormal general movements between the groups were comparable (writhing movements: 61% vs. 59%, p = 0.89; fidgety movements: 20% vs. 36%, p = 0.13). Writhing movements were different (100% poor repertoire, 0% cramped synchronous in the GI group vs. 50% poor repertoire and 50% cramped synchronous in the ELBW group, p < 0.001).

Conclusion

Infants with gastrointestinal anomalies are at risk for abnormal general movements. Abnormal fidgety general movements may be an early biomarker for future motor deficits.
