Abstract

Background Longitudinal motor assessment in infants at different neurodevelopmental risk has not been previously evaluated using structured assessments.Aim To verify if the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) is a good tool to predict the neuromotor outcome in infants discharged from a level II-III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) METHODS: In this cohort analysis, 1541 infants discharged from our NICU between January of 2002 and the April 2006 were enrolled and assessed using the HINE at 3, 6, 9, 12 months. At two years, these infants were further assessed, and grouped into infants with normal outcome (1150), with mild disability (321) and with cerebral palsy (70),Results Correlation analysis of Spearman showed a significant (p < 0.0001) and moderate (r(2) = -0.55 to -0.73) negative correlation between HINE scores (3, 6, 9, 12 months) and neurological outcome at two years. Cut-off scores for each assessment' age were provided as predictive value for cerebral palsy.Discussion This study mainly showed that HINE, as soon as the first months of life, helps in the process of prediction of neurological outcome at two years of age in a heterogeneous population of infants discharged from an NICU.

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.
