Abstract

Objective To evaluate the possible additional benefit in terms of prognostic accuracy of an integrated application of a traditional scorable method of neurologic examination and the Prechtl's method of qualitative assessment of general movements (GMs) in a large population of 903 consecutive preterm infants.Study design Infants were enrolled from the Intensive Care Unit of the University of Catania. Inclusion criteria were a gestational age below 37 weeks and the absence of genetic disorders. All infants underwent serial ultrasound and at 3 months performed both the GMs assessment and the Hammersmith Infant Neurologic Examination (HINE). Outcome was assessed at 2 years by the Touwen neurologic examination and the Clinical Adaptive Test/Clinical, Linguistic and Auditory Milestone Scale.Results The integration of the two methods was shown to be more effective than the single assessments in predicting neurologic outcome. The additional benefit of combining the two approaches was particularly clear for the discrimination between unilateral and bilateral cerebral palsy.Conclusions The integrated use of a scorable neurological examination and Prechtl's assessment of GMs can improve early prediction of neurodevelopmental outcome in preterm infants and should complement other clinical and instrumental exams in follow-up programs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
