These have influenced the rates of neonatal morbidity and neurodevelopmental impairment. Neurodevelopmental outcome is being used as the most important measure of successful neonatal care and has to be assessed, not only in the short term, but also in the long term. Long-term follow-up of ELBWI is necessary to identify neurodevelopmental outcomes with a wide array from major neurosensory disability to high prevalence/ low severity dysfunction in early childhood, school age and young adulthood. 서론일반적으로출생체중 1,000 g 미만의신생아를초극소저출생체중아 (extremely low birth weight infant, ELBWI) 라고하며, 재태기간 28주미만의신생아를초미숙아 (extremely preterm infant), 그중에서도출생체중 750~800 g 미만, 재태기간 25주미만을 micropremie 라고한다. 최근주산의학및신생아집중치료의급속한발전으로초미숙아의생존율이증가하고있다. NICHD (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development) 에따르면, 1990 년대중반이후로는 85% 이상의극소저출생체중아의생존율을보고하고있고, 750~1,000 g 사이는 88%, 750 g 미만의 micropremie 에서는 50% 이상의생존율을보고하고있다. 1 국내의경우에는아직여기까지는이르지못하지만, 1990 년후반의초극소저출생체중아생존율이 45% 에서 2000 년초반에는 62% 정도로급격히향상되고있는추세이다. 2 그러나생존하는초미숙아의증가로인해이들신생아에서의신경학적후유증의발생빈도증가에대한우려와함께장기적인신경발달에대한예후에관심이높아지고있다. 지금까지미숙아에대한신경학적평가는주로뇌성마비, 지능저하, 시각및청력손실등의주요신경장애에중점을두어이루어졌으나, 생존하는초미숙아의연령이증가되면서주요신경장애가없는경우에서도정상출생체중아에비해지능및학습능력의저하, 운동및행동장애등의빈도가높아학령기를거쳐성인에이르는장기간에걸친평가가이루어지고있다. 이에본장에서는생존하는초극소저출생체중아의유아기, 학령기, 성인기에따른신경발달학적예후에대하여알아보고자한다.

380 Hanyang Medical Reviews Vol. 29 No. 4, 2009 본론 1. 유아기의신경발달에대한예후초극소저출생체중아에서유아기에나타나는신경학적후유증으로는뇌성마비, 경련, 시각및청력장애등의주요장애를들수있으며, 이들의 20~25% 에서볼수있다. 최근 30여년동안의신생아집중치료의발달로초미숙아의생존율뿐만아니라주요신경학적장애의발생율에도변화가있었다. 1990 년대에는폐표면활성제, 산전스테로이드투여, 미숙아의만성폐질환에대한스테로이드투여등에힘입어 1980 년대에비해생존율이현저하게향상되었으나, 그와더불어주요신경학적장애율도증가하였다. 하지만 2000 년대에들어와서는 1990 년대중반이후와생존율에있어서는큰차이를보이지않았으나, 주요신경학적장애율은오히려감소하는경향을보이는데, 이는산전스테로이드의확대, 미숙아만성폐질환에대한스테로이드제한, 뇌출혈및패혈증의감소등에기인하는것으로생각된다. 3 국내에서도전등에의한보고에서,2000 년이후에출생한 1,000 g 미만의초극소저출생체중아의생존율은 1990 년대에비해증가하였으며, 평균출생체중및재태주수가상대적으로더작았음에도불구하고, 오히려뇌성마 비의발생율은감소하였다. 4 1990 년대에태어난초극소저출생체중아를대상으로한 NICHD 의첫다기관연구에따르면, 교정연령 18~22 개월에추적관찰가능한 1,151 명에서의신경학적장애발생빈도는뇌성마비 17%, shunt 를필요로하는뇌수종 4%, 만성경련은 5% 였고, Bayley II Mental Developmental Index (MDI) 가 70미만이 37%, Bayley II Psychomotor Developmental Index (PDI) 가 70미만이 29%, 편측또는양측실명 3%, 보청기를필요로하는청각장애가 3% 였다. 5 초미숙아에서유아기의주요신경학적장애는보고자에따라차이가있어뇌성마비는 5~22%, 시력및청력소실은각각 0~10%, 1~6%, MDI<70 인인지장애는 15~37% 였다 (Table 1). 3-9 이는연구기관마다의생존율, 연구시기, 신생아기합병증, 사회경제적인요인, 검사연령, 신경발달평가방법, 장애진단기준등이영향을주었을것으로생각된다. 또한재태주수 25주미만의 micropremie 의 Epicure 연구에서는교정연령 30개월에반수에서신경학적장애를보였으며, 이중반수에서는심각한장애를보였고, 10 Kilbride 등은출생체중 800 g 미만의 micropremie 에있어환경적요인이신경학적예후에미치는영향을알아보기위하여그들의만삭아형제, 자매와의비교연구에서 micropremie 들은그들의형제, 자매보다학령전기 (5세 ) 에지능지수, 운동, 수용언어능력이떨어졌으며, 지능과언어는미숙아로인한요인뿐아니라사회경제적요인의영향을받았으나, 운동능력은사회경제적 Table 1.
