Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare receptive and expressive language skills in premature and full-term babies under the newborn hearing screening follow-up program.Material and Methods: A total of 130 babies were evaluated, of which 68 were premature and 62 were healthy full-term babies. Hearing function was assessed in all infants with the Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAE) and Automated Auditory Brainstem Response (AABR) tests according to hospital’s screening protocol and found normal in all. Assessment of receptive and expressive language skills in both premature and full-term babies was based on the Preschool Language Scale-Fifth Edition (PLS-5) language test. PLS-5 items were applied face-to-face with the mothers of the babies, using the question-answer technique. The test time is on average 80 days for premature babies and 41 days for term babies.Results: As a result of the study, no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of auditory perception and expressive language age (p>0.05). Nevertheless, the results showed a high positive correlation between auditory perception and expressive language age in premature infants and a moderate positive correlation between the same in full-term babies. In both infant groups, auditory perception skills increase in parallel with the expressive language skills.Conclusion: Premature birth is a risk factor for language development and negative effects begin to show as the premature baby grows (especially after 6-12 months). Therefore, it is important to monitor and assess premature babies during the critical age bracket of linguistic development, which is 0-2 years, for an early diagnosis and treatment of linguistic delays that may affect them later in life.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, takip programındaki prematüre ve term bebeklerin alıcı ve ifade edici dil becerilerilerinin karşılaştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada 68 prematüre ve 62 term bebek olmak üzere toplam 130 bebek değerlendirilmiştir. Bebeklerin tamamının işitme fonksiyonları hastanenin tarama protokolüne göre Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAE) ve Automated Auditory Brainstem Response (AABR) testleri kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Prematüre ve term bebeklerin alıcı ve ifade edici dil becerilerinin değerlendirilmesinde Okul Öncesi Dil Ölçeği-5 kullanılmıştır. Sonuç: Çalışma sonucunda her iki grup arasında işitsel algı ve ifade edici dil yaşları bakımından istatistiki olarak anlamlı farklılık bulunmamıştır (p>0.05). Bununla birlikte, sonuçlar prematüre bebeklerde işitsel algı ile ifade edici dil yaşı arasında yüksek pozitif bir korelasyon, term bebeklerde ise orta pozitif bir korelasyon göstermiştir. Her iki grupta da işitsel algı becerilerinin ifade edici dil becerilerine paralel olarak artış gösterdiği görülmektedir. Tartışma: Prematüre doğum dil gelişimi için bir risk faktörüdür ve prematüre bebek büyüdükçe (özellikle 6-12 ay sonra) olumsuz etkiler görülmeye başlar. Bu nedenle, prematüre bebekleri, dil gelişiminin kritik yaş aralığı olan 0-2 yaş aralığında izlemek ve değerlendirmek, daha sonraki yaşamlarında onları etkileyebilecek olan dil gecikmelerinin erken teşhis ve tedavisi için önemlidir.
