RUAS, Teresa Cristina Brito; GAGLIARDO, Heloísa Ravanini; MARTINEZ, Claudia Simões  e  RAVANINI, Solange Gagheggi. Comparison of appendicular functions released trough sight of pre-term newly born infants and to a term in the first 3 months of life. Rev. bras. crescimento desenvolv. hum. [online]. 2010, vol.20, n.3, pp. 680-687. ISSN 0104-1282.

OBJECTIVE: to characterize and compare the appendicular functions released trough the sight from a pre-term infant group and to a term at the Centro de Estudos e Pesquisas em Reabilitação "Prof. Dr. Gabriel Porto" (Center of Studies and Rehabilitation "Professor Dr. Gabriel Porto", from the State University from Campinas. METHOD: 21 pre-term with gestational age under 37 completed weeks of gestation, suitable weight for the gestational age and corrected age between 1 and 3 months and, 21 to a term with gestational age between 39 to 41 gestational weeks, suitable weight to the gestational age and chronological age between 1 and 3 months. To evaluate it was used the Conduct Visual Infant Method of Evaluation. In the statistic analysis it was used the "Q" test from Cochran and the Test from Yates. RESULTS: although in the first month of life, the visual fixation was more frequent to the terms, it wasn't noticed significant values for each group and between them. In the pre-term and to a term it was noticed a statistic difference in both, the appendicular functions, observing the same value of significant statistic(p=0,000). Between the groups comparison, those functions do not show significant difference, though minor frequency have been observed in the pre-terms. CONCLUSION: the rhythm and the development pattern of appendicular functions released through the sight in the pre-term infants, with corrected age, differ from the term in terms of frequency and quality.
