Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1 Presentation of the expected outcome was that the motor function of preterm infants who received intervention of the body positioning was superior to the group without intervention. Prediction of the evaluation of the expected outcome is in the fourth evaluation, considered the last one. Motor development was observed by comparison with normative samples of the Alberta motor scale, considering normal / expected motor performance when it is above 25%.;Result Found 1 Presentation of the outcome was that there was no difference between motor gain among the studied groups of infants born preterm (p> 0.05). Considering the Alberta motor scale, with normal / expected motor performance when it is above 25% and for the analysis the Chi-square test. ;Expected outcome 2 Presentation of the expected outcome was that the control group of the prone positioning intervention presented at the end of the four evaluations a lower number of evaluations with suspected and altered classification. Prediction of the evaluation of the expected outcome is in the fourth evaluation, considered the last one. Considering the Alberta motor scale, with suspect motor performance and changed when it is below 25% and 5%. ;Result Found 2 Presentation of the outcome was that the control group presented at the end of the four evaluations a higher number of evaluations with suspected and altered classification (p <0.01). Considering the Alberta motor scale, with suspect motor performance and changed when it is below 25% and 5% and for the analysis the Chi-square test. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1 Presentation of the expected outcome was to find an association between the motor gain of preterm infants and some maternal variables. Considering the statistical analysis by means of linear regression.;Result Found 1 Presentation of the secondary endpoint was the significant association between the motor gain of infants and maternal age in the fourth and final evaluation (p = 0.01). Considering the statistical analysis by means of linear regression.;Expected outcome 2 Presentation of the expected outcome was to find an association between the motor gain of preterm infants and some birth characteristic variables. Considering the statistical analysis by means of linear regression.;Result Found 2 Presentation of the secondary outcome was the significant association of motor gain in infants with birth weight in the third evaluation (p = 0.02) and in the second with the length of hospital stay (p = 0.02). Considering the statistical analysis by means of linear regression. | — |
