A home-based, post-discharge early intervention program promotes motor development and physical growth in the early preterm infants: A prospective, randomized controlled trial

BMC Pediatrics Apr 12, 2021

Fan J, Wang J, Zhang X, et al. - In this single-center, prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial followed by an open phase, researchers sought to assess the impact of this home-based, post-discharge early intervention (EI) program on neurodevelopment and physical growth in early preterm infants. Between December 1, 2019, and June 31, 2020, a total of 73 infants born at 28+ 0 ~ 31+ 6 weeks’ gestation who were admitted to the Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, were recruited. This study introduced a low-cost, home-based, post-discharge EI program, which would be especially useful in areas with limited medical resources. This EI program has the potential to significantly promote early preterm infants motor development and physical growth, at least in the short term. Long-term follow-up is required, however, to determine the long-term impact of this program on infant development.
