Relationship of specific language impairment with perinatal risk factors and neurological soft signs.

Objective: The study aimed to analyze the relationship of Specific Language Impairment (SLI) with Perinatal Risk Factors (PRFs) and Neurological Soft Signs (NSS) by sex in pre-school children. Methods: A non-experimental, transversal, comparative design with 216 girls and boys. Sociodemographic data...

        Objective: The study aimed to analyze the relationship of Specific Language Impairment (SLI) with Perinatal Risk Factors (PRFs) and Neurological Soft Signs (NSS) by sex in pre-school children. Methods: A non-experimental, transversal, comparative design with 216 girls and boys. Sociodemographic data and PRFs were documented with a Clinical History. The Screening for Language Problems was applied, and NSS were evaluated with the subtest of the Neuropsychological Battery for Pre-schoolers. Results: In 70%, the socioeconomic level was low; 51% were classified without SLI; and 27% with moderate articulation difficulties. The parents indicated that 40% had pronunciation difficulties and 71% had comprehension difficulties. A moderate significant correlation was observed with SLI and NSS: walk, asteroagnosis, and articulation difficulties. Conclusions: Screening evaluations were relevant tools to identify neurodevelopmental difficulties in pre-schoolers since they allow rapid and early attention to communication disorders, such as SLI in relation to PRFs and the presence of NSS. Furthermore, linguistic stimulation programs with extensive coverage should be undertaken in low-income communities, which were frecuent among in 70% of participants.
        Objetivo: Analizar la relación de los Trastornos Específicos de Lenguaje con los Factores de Riesgo Perinatal y los Signos Neurológicos Blandos por sexo en niños preescolares. Métodos: Diseño no experimental, transversal, comparativo con 216 niños y niñas. Se documentaron los datos sociodemográficos y de Factores de Riesgo Perinatal con una Historia Clínica. Se aplicó la evaluación Tamiz de problemas del Lenguaje (TPL) y se evaluaron los Signos Neurológicos Blandos con la subprueba de la Batería Neuropsicológica para Preescolares (BANPE). Resultados: En 70% el nivel socioeconómico fue bajo; se calificó 51% sin sospecha de Trastornos Específicos de Lenguaje; se observaron dificultades moderadas de articulación en 27%; los padres señalaron que 40% presentaban dificultades de pronunciación y 71% de comprensión. Se observó correlación significativa moderada de los Trastornos Específicos de Lenguaje con los Signos Neurológicos Blandos: marcha, asteroagnosia, y dificultades de articulación. Conclusiones: Las evaluaciones de tamizaje son herramientas relevantes para identificar dificultades del neurodesarrollo en los preescolares ya que permiten la atención rápida y temprana de los trastornos de la comunicación, como los Trastornos Específicos del Lenguaje, los Factores de Riesgo Perinatal y los Signos Neurológicos Blandos. Además, los programas de estimulación lingüística deberían de extenderse a las comunidades de nivel socioeconómico bajo, el cual fue común en 70% de los participantes.
