Neonatal Neurobehavior and Outcomes in Very Preterm Infants
Description: PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Preterm Infants born <30 wks gestational age are at high risk for developing long term developmental and behavioral impairments. This project will determine which of these infants are at greatest risk for impaired development using a neurobehavioral assessment (the NICU Network Neurobehavioral Scale) and medical conditions. The ability to identify infants at greatest risk addresses a major public health problem and could lead to targeted interventions to reduce or ameliorate later deficits, and more effectively allocate limite resources.
