dc.description.abstract | Purpose
To study development trajectories to 34 years of age of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and subjective health complaints in extremely preterm (EP) born subjects with and without disability, and to compare with term-born controls.
Methods
A Norwegian longitudinal population-based cohort of subjects born in 1982–85 at gestational age ≤ 28 weeks or with birth weight ≤ 1000 g and matched term-born controls completed the Norwegian version of the Short Form Health Survey-36 at ages 24 and 34 and the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children–Symptom Checklist at ages 17, 24 and 34 years. Data were analysed by unadjusted and adjusted mixed effects analyses with time by subject group as interaction term.
Results
A total of 35/49 (73%) surviving EP-born and 36/46 (78%) term-born controls participated at this third follow-up. EP-born subjects with severe disability reported clinical significant lower mean score in all domains compared to the term-born controls. Healthy EP-born subjects reported significantly lower mean scores for vitality, role emotional and mental health, and significantly higher mean score for total and psychological health complaints compared to term-born controls. There were no significant interactions with age regarding HRQoL and somatic health complaints, while there were significant differences in psychological health complaints; the EP-born scored higher at age 24 and lower at age 34.
Conclusions
EP-born adults at age 34 reported inferior HRQoL versus term-born peers, especially in the mental health domains, indicating that the negative differences observed at 24 years remained unchanged. | en_US |
