There is evidence that verbal deficits are common and adversely affect social interaction as well as school learning. In Chile, these skills are not evaluated by the premature follow-up program; therefore, the extent of this problem is unknown. The objective of this study is to describe the language difficulties of a group of preschoolers with a history of extreme prematurity. Patients and Methods: Thirty children aged 4 and 5 years old, with a history of extreme prematurity, but without severe neurological damage or hearing loss were evaluated through language tests at the Premature Follow-up Polyclinic of the Eastern Cordillera Health Reference Center. Results: 73.3% of the children assessed had deficits in some area of the language. Of these, 77.3% had comprehensive and expressive difficulties. In this group, 86.4% showed significant difficulties in narrative skills. Discussion: A high preterm infant proportion presents language difficulties in preschool, resulting in the need of including specific intervention programs that promote better language development for this population. Introducción: Los niños prematuros son una población vulnerable a presentar dificultades en su desarrollo lingüístico posterior. Existe evidencia que los déficits verbales son frecuentes y que repercuten negativamente en la interacción social y en el aprendizaje escolar. En Chile, estas habilidades no son evaluadas por el programa de seguimiento de prematuros, desconociéndose la magnitud de este problema. El objetivo fue describir Método: Treinta niños entre 4 y 5 años de edad, con antecedente de prematuridad extrema y sin hipoacusia ni daño neurológico severo, fueron evaluados con pruebas de lenguaje en el Policlínico de Seguimiento de Prematuros del Centro de Referencia de Salud Cordillera Oriente. Resultados: Un 73,3% de los niños presentó déficit en algún área del lenguaje evaluada. De ellos, un 77,3% presentaron dificultades comprensivas y expresivas. En este grupo, un 86,4% evidenció dificultades en habilidades narrativas relevantes para el aprendizaje escolar. Discusión: Una alta proporción de niños prematuros presenta dificultades de lenguaje en la etapa preescolar, lo que hace necesario incluir programas de intervención específicos que promuevan un mejor desarrollo del lenguaje en esta población. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: Spanish refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Revista Chilena de Pediatría is the property of Revista Chilena de Pediatria and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
