Of the control infants, 49 (82%) were at lowrisk, 10 (17%) at moderate risk, and 1 (1.7%) at high risk for de-layed development. Basedon the BINS test, of the preterm, LBW infants, 32 (61%) were atlow risk, 11 (21%) at moderate risk, and 9 (17%) at high risk fordelayed development. Bivariate analysis using the chi-square test and mul-tivariate analysis using logistic regression were performed.Results One hundred and twelve infants fulfilled eligibility criteria,consisting of 52 preterm, LBW and 60 term, non-LBW infants.
The Bayley InfantNeurodevelopmental Screener (BINS) test was performed to as-sess the risk of delayed development at 3 months of corrected agefor the preterm infants and at 3 months of chronological age for theterm infants. Background Preterm infants, particularly those who have hadsevere asphyxia, hyperbilirubinemia, and sepsis, tend to be at riskfor neurodevelopmental impairment.Objective The purpose of this study was to assess the risk for de-layed development in low birth weight (LBW), appropriate for gesta-tional age (AGA) preterm infants compared to that in term, non-LBWinfants, and to investigate the roles of severe asphyxia, sepsis, andhyperbilirubinemia as potential risk factors for delayed development.Methods This was a hospital-based retrospective cohort studyinvolving preterm, LBW and term, non-LBW infants conducted inHasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung.
