Abstract

Purpose : This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of auditory evoked potential (AEP) in clarifying neuronal development in premature small for gestational age (SGA), and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants. Methods : A total of 183 premature infants who were born from August 2002 to July 2005, were examined with AEP. They were divided into three groups; AGA, symmetric-SGA and asymmetric-SGA group. Results : Statistically significant differences in the head circumference were observed in three groups. Among the risk factors, prevalence of hypoglycemia and hypoalbuminemia between AGA and asymmetric SGA infants were significantly different. V absolute peak latency (APL) in the right side of AGA infants was delayed were than that of asymmetric SGA infants. III-V interpeak latency (IPL) of asymmetric SGA infants was delayed more than that of symmetric SGA infants. Moreover, I-V IPL on both sides of symmetric SGA infants was shortened more than that of AGA infants. However, all the results of AEP were within the reference range, according to gestational age. Birth weight of, only asymmetric SGA, was related to the III APL on both sides and the III-V IPL on right side. Conclusion : This study shows that the values of APL and IPL of premature SGA infants are different than that of premature AGA infants. These data could be an indicator in evaluating the neurologic functions of small for gestational age infants.

목 적 : 청각 유발 전위 검사는 신생아 선별 검사의 하나로 주요 신경학적 장애의 발생 빈도가 정상아보다 높은 미숙아 군에서 주로 시행되며, 본 연구에서는 이 검사를 미숙아에게 실시하여 미숙아 중에서도 부당 경량아와 적정 체중아군 사이에 유의한 차이가 있는지를 검토하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2002년 8월부터 2005년 7월까지 고려대학교 의료원에서 태어난 미숙아중 산모와 환아 모두 특이 질병이 없는 경우를 대상으로 하였으며, 청각 유발 전위 검사를 시행한 환아 183명을 대상으로 하였다. 출생 시 체중과 머리 둘레, 가슴둘레를 바탕으로 적정 체중아와 비대칭 부당 경량아, 그리고 대칭적 부당경량아의 세 군으로 나누고, APL(I, III, V파)와 IPL(I-III, III-V, I-V파)의 6가지 항목을 비교하였다. 결 과 : 적정 체중아와 대칭적 부당 경량아군, 대칭적 부당 경량아와 비대칭 부당 경량아 군에서 출생 시 머리 둘레가 유의한 차이를 보였고(P<0.001, P<0.001), 적정 체중아와 비대칭 부당경량아군 사이에 통계학적으로 의미 있는 저혈당증과 저알부민혈증 빈도의 차이를 보였다(P=0.027, P=0.030). 적정 체중아군이 우측의 V APL에서 대칭 부당 경량아군에 비해 지연되었다(P=0.042). 또한 우측의 III-V IPL에서는 비대칭 부당 경량아군이 적정 체중아군이나 대칭적 부당 경량아군에 비해 지연되었다(P=0.047, P=0.005). 좌측의 III-V IPL에서도 비대칭 부당 경량아군이 대칭적 부당 경량아군에 비해 지연되었다(P=0.022). 좌, 우측의 I-V IPL에서는 대칭적 부당경량아군에서 적정 체중아에 비해 단축되었다(P=0.018, P=0.035). 그러나 시행한 모든 AEP 값은 참고 범위 안에 있었다. 그리고 각 군에서 출생 시 체중과 유의한(P<0.05) 요인을 상관 분석한 결과, 비대칭 부당 경량아에서만 출생 시 체중이 좌, 우측의 III APL와 양의 상관관계를, 우측의 III-V IPL와 음의 상관관계를 이루고 있었다(P=0.017, P=0.027, P=0.019). 결 론 : 본 연구에서는 부당 경량 미숙아의 신경 발달에 대한 기초 자료를 마련하였으며, 이는 추적 진료시 신경학적 평가에 유용할 것으로 생각한다.
