Evolution of Food Orality in Children Aged Between 24 and 36 Months: Comparison of the Severity and Specificities of Disorders Between Two Populations of Children, Born Very Prematurely and Born at Term

Completed
Conditions
Infant, Premature, Diseases
Interventions
Behavioral: Archet scale
Registration Number
NCT03860142
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice
Brief Summary

Oral disorders are currently widely described in the premature birth population, but few studies compare them to their prevalence in the full-term population.

In addition, new behaviours and eating habits are regularly emerging in our society.

The objective of this study is to compare the severity of signs of oral disorders between the group of preterm infants and the group of term infants born without organic pathologies that compromise oral development.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Archet scale score15 mn

The severity of the signs of food orality disorders is assessed by Archet Scale, which makes it possible to establish a score out of 20. The severity of the signs is divided into four classes according to the following scores: from 0 to 5 = zero to low grade, from 6 to 10 = light grade, from 11 to 15 = moderate grade, from 16 to 20 = severe grade
