Because maturation of sucking abilities is not fully achieved in very preterm infants (&lt;32 weeks&#8217; gestation), neonatal services worldwide rely on the use of pacifiers to promote the development of adequate sucking reflexes, possibly prolonging NNSHs during infancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Objective:<\/strong> We aimed to describe the frequency and to identify factors associated with NNSHs at age 2 years in very preterm children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Methods:<\/strong> The study was based on data from EPIPAGE-2, a French national prospective cohort study of preterm births during 2011 that included 2593 children born between 24 and 31 weeks&#8217; gestation. The primary outcome was NNSHs at 2 years. Multivariable log-linear regression models with generalized estimation equations were used to study the association between the characteristics studied and NNSHs. Multiple imputations were used to take into account missing data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Results:<\/strong> The frequency of NNSHs was 69% in the overall sample but higher among girls (adjusted risk ratio [RR] 1.12, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05, 1.17), children born from multiple pregnancies (eg, twins\/triplets) (RR 1.07, 95% CI 1.00, 1.11), children who were fed by nasogastric tube (RR 1.07, 95% CI 1.01, 1.13), or those who benefitted from developmental care programmes (RR 1.10, 95% CI 1.02, 1.19). The NNSHs frequency was lower if mothers were not born in France (RR 0.70, 95% CI 0.64, 0.77), children had 2 or more older siblings (RR 0.88, 95% CI 0.82, 0.96), or children were breast-fed at discharge (RR 0.90, 95% CI 0.85, 0.95).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusions:<\/strong> NNSHs at 2 years seemed associated with cultural background, development care programmes, and breast feeding. Whether NNSHs at 2 years among very preterm children are associated with future maxillofacial growth anomalies deserves further attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paediatr Perinat Epidemiol. 2020 Oct 5. doi: 10.1111\/ppe.12725.
