Effects of early intervention on mental or neuromusculoskeletal and movement-related functions in children born low birthweight or preterm : a meta-analysis

We conducted a meta-analysis to examine the association between early
intervention and mental or neuromusculoskeletal and movement-related functions of
children born low birthweight (LBW) or preterm.
METHOD: The meta-analysis
included 16 studies that yielded 97 effects. Q and I(2) values were used to
determine heterogeneity. Publication bias was evaluated using Egger's regression
intercept test and a funnel plot. RESULTS: The association between early
intervention and either mental or neuromusculoskeletal and movement-related
functions yielded a significant but small effect size (d = .219, p < .0001).
Heterogeneity was statistically insignificant. CONCLUSION: Participation in early
intervention programs addressing mental or neuromusculoskeletal and
movement-related functions in children born LBW or preterm results in significant
improvements in these areas.
