Contact with mother after birth did not affect neurodevelopment of extremely preterm infants

Laila Kristoffersen of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and colleagues conducted a clinical trial and concluded that immediate skin-to-skin contact of extremely preterm infants does not affect their neurodevelopment in early childhood. The study involved 108 infants born between 28 weeks 0 days and 31 weeks 6 days of gestation, weighing over 1 kilogram, without major birth defects, and not requiring oxygen or intubation. They were randomly assigned to either immediately transfer to a standard incubator or to skin-to-skin contact for two hours. Cognitive development was assessed at ages 2–3 using the BSID-III scale. The results were published in JAMA Network Open.

Eighty percent of children were assessed at 2–3 years of age, and 75 percent were assessed using the BSID-III. No differences were found between the study and control groups in cognitive outcomes (p = 0.94) or the likelihood of developmental delay (p = 0.83). Moreover, among those who had contact with their mother after birth, more were breastfeeding at discharge (p = 0.04).
