In Poland, there is a lack of data on developmental delay (DD) in children, making early diagnosis and prevention challenging; this study aimed to identify risk factors associated with DD in infants.*
-
The research surveyed 50 infants with DD and 104 healthy controls, finding that common risk factors include Caesarian section (68%), maternal infections (46%), and chronic diseases during pregnancy (48%).*
-
The study suggests that preventive measures should focus on the identified pre/peri/postnatal risk factors, and emphasizes the need for early detection and intervention for high-risk infants to mitigate DD.*
