研究目的为了检验学龄前学习技能是否与青春期的教育程度相关，以及早产儿和足月儿之间的相关性是否存在差异。（6.4%）早产（<37周妊娠，大多数是32-36周妊娠）的青少年，来自雅芳父母和儿童纵向研究。学前教育的学术（数学和识字）技能由教师在4-5岁时评定。16岁时的教育程度是通过获得关键科目数学和英语的普通中等教育证书来确定的。Logistic回归评估早产，学前数学，和GCSE数学之间的关联，早产，学前识字，和GCSE English.ResultsSimilar数量的青少年早产，并在长期实现GCSE数学和英语（53.6%比57.4%和59.5%比63.9，分别为; p值>0.05）。更高的学前数学学术技能分数与获得GCSE数学和学前识字技能的可能性更大相关，与GCSE英语。具有较高学前数学的早产儿青少年（OR 1.51，CI：1.14，2.00）和识字能力（OR 1.57，CI：1.10,2.25）更有可能达到GCSE在各自的主题比他们的任期出生的同行具有同等水平的学前skills.ConclusionsPreschool学术技能在数学和识字与教育程度的早产儿和任期-在青春期出生的人。早产儿可能比足月出生的人更受益于学前数学和识字技能，从而在青春期取得学术和教育成功。
ObjectivesTo test whether preschool academic skills were associated with educational attainment in adolescence and whether associations differed between individuals born preterm and at full term.Study designThis prospective cohort study comprised 6,924 individuals, including N=444 (6.4%) adolescents born preterm (<37 weeks of gestation, mostly 32-36 weeks gestation) from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. Preschool academic (mathematics and literacy) skills were rated by teachers at 4-5 years. Educational attainment at 16 years was informed by attaining a General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) in key subjects Mathematics and English. Logistic regressions assessed the association between preterm birth, preschool mathematics, and GCSE Mathematics, and between preterm birth, preschool literacy, and GCSE English.ResultsSimilar numbers of adolescents born preterm and at term achieved a GCSE in Mathematics and English (53.6 % vs 57.4% and 59.5% vs 63.9, respectively; p-values>0.05). Higher preschool academic skill scores in mathematics were associated with greater odds of attaining GCSE Mathematics and preschool literacy skills were associated with GCSE English. Adolescents born preterm with higher preschool mathematics (OR 1.51, CI: 1.14, 2.00) and literacy skills (OR 1.57, CI: 1.10, 2.25) were more likely to attain GCSEs in the respective subject than their term-born counterparts with equal levels of preschool skills.ConclusionsPreschool academic skills in mathematics and literacy are associated with educational attainment of preterm and term-born individuals in adolescence. Children born prematurely may benefit more from preschool mathematics and literacy skills for academic and educational success into adolescence than term-born individuals.
