Resumen

Los niños de alto riesgo (NAR) tienen un mayor riesgo de desarrollo anormal debido a factores relacionados con el crecimiento neurológico. Aunque se han investigado la influencia de muchos de estos factores, se conoce muy poco sobre su efecto a largo plazo en el desarrollo del niño. Objetivo: el objetivo fue investigar el estado cognitivo, emocional y académico de niños de 7 años diagnosticados como NAR en el momento del nacimiento. Metodología: Se compararon 14 niños diagnosticados como NAR con 20 niños sanos en los tests WISC-IV, el BASC y el Brunet-Lezine. Resultados: Los niños NAR mostraron deterioro cognitivo, emocional y académico comparados con los niños sanos. Por otro lado, las puntuaciones del Brunet-Lezine obtenidas a los 6, 12, 18 y 24 meses no fueron predictivas del estado psicológico de los niños a los 7 años. Conclusiones: el seguimiento a niños diagnosticados con NAR debería mantenerse, al menos, hasta los 7 años y deberían recibir un tratamiento adecuado.
