What is Sucking Patterns in Preterm Infants about?
The document discusses a study on the reliability of the Neonatal Oral-Motor Assessment Scale (nomas) for assessing sucking patterns in preterm infants. It highlights the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability findings, indicating that while intra-rater agreement was fair to almost perfect, inter-rater agreement was moderate to substantial. The study concludes that nomas needs adjustments to improve reliability and incorporate current insights into sucking and swallowing development.
