- Abstract
Current paper assesses the influence of age correction when risks in the motor development of premature children are detected. A retrospective and observational study has been conducted with 59 premature children attended to at the Premature Children Clinic of a school hospital in the central region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, between 2014 and 2015. The children were evaluated by the Albert Infant Motor Scale, at ages four and eight months. Data normality was verified by the Shapiro-Wilke´s test and group comparison was undertaken by Wilcoxon´s Test. 39% of the premature children evaluated on month four revealed high risk levels for delay in motor development; similar results were obtained for 33% of premature children evaluated on month eight. Results were more significant when chronological age was employed (p=0.000). The correction of gestation age proved to be the best way in evaluating the true performance of pre-term children, without highly estimating risks which do not actually emerge into problems in children´s development.
