To evaluate if language delay at three years in premature infants is associated with prior exposure to hyperbilirubinemia during the first two weeks after birth. We performed retrospective case-control study of infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit between January and October 2003. Inclusion criteria included a birth weight ≤ 1500 grams and follow-up to age three years. Exclusion criteria included genetic disorders and hearing loss or recurrent ear infections. Peak total serum bilirubin (TSB) during the first two weeks and duration of hyperbilirubinemia (days with TSB > 8 mg/dl) were determined. Infants with language delay and receiving speech therapy by three years were identified through developmental clinic charts and tracking program and compared to infants who had normal language development. 125 infants with birth weight ≤ 1500 grams were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit between January and October 2003. Fifteen infants died and 110 were discharged home. 102/110 (93%) of infants had follow-up to age three years. Four infants were excluded (1 genetic disorder, 3 delayed hearing loss or recurrent ear infections). 24 infants had a language delay and received speech therapy while 74 infants had normal language development. There was no significant difference in peak TSB and duration of hyperbilirubinemia between the two groups. On logistic regression, only bronchopulmonary dysplasia was associated with language delay (Adjusted odds ratio 7.3, 95% confidence interval 2.5 – 22). Hyperbilirubinemia defined as peak TSB level or duration of elevated bilirubin in days is not associated with language delay in premature infants. However, this issue deserves investigation since other measures of bilirubin, such as unbound bilirubin may be associated with language delay.
