In this study, we examined the prospective associations between infant regulatory problems at the age of 8\u201310 months identified by community health nurses (CHN) and mental disorders diagnosed in hospital settings in children aged 1\u20138 years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      From a cohort of all newborn children in 15 municipalities in the Capital Region of Copenhagen (\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200943,922) we included all children who were examined by CHNs at the scheduled home visit at the age of 8\u201310 months (\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200936,338). Outcome measures were ICD-10 mental disorders diagnosed at public hospitals and reported to the National Patient Register.

A total of 1,439 children (4% of the study population) were diagnosed in hospital settings with an ICD-10 mental disorder between the ages of 11 months and 8 years. Analyses adjusted for a range of perinatal and family adversities showed an increased risk of any neurodevelopmental disorder among children with CHN concerns of feeding and eating (odds ratio (OR) 1.36 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.14\u20131.63)) and co-occurrent problems of feeding and eating and sleep (OR 1.60 (95% CI 1.14\u20132.26)). For autism-spectrum disorders, an increased risk was seen among children with co-occurrent problems of both feeding and eating and sleep (OR 1.73 (95% CI 1.07\u20132.79)). Concern about feeding and eating was also associated with an increased risk of behavioral and emotional disorders (OR 1.27 (95% CI 1.03\u20131.56)). Concern about incessant crying at the age of 8\u201310 months was not associated with a diagnosed mental disorder, but findings may reflect low statistical power due to low frequency of concern.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CHN concerns mirror a group of developmentally vulnerable children.
