Neurodevelopmental outcome of the high risk infant in Cape Town
The outcome of high risk infants provides an important audit of neonatal care. This audit renders valuable information to clinicians, parents and health care planners. Available outcome data from the developing world are sparse and urgently needed. This work was compiled with three aims in mind: to …

Heart Rate Characteristics and Neurodevelopmental Outcome in Very Low Birth Weight Infants
… with an increased risk of adverse developmental outcome. We have identified abnormal heart rate characteristics (HRCs) that are predictive of impending sepsis, and we have developed a summary measure of an infant’s HRCs during the neonatal hospitalization that we refer to as the cumulative HRC …

Associations between mood states in high-risk infants and later neurodevelopmental outcomes
… of associations between twovariables: "neurodevelopmental outcome" (cerebral palsy, developmental delays and non-handicapped) and "mood states" (fussy/skittish, calm, sunny, and too variable to rate) in a sample of 208 high-risk infants. It was based on the premise that predominantly …

A Bayesian Approach to the Characterization of Electroencephalographic Recordings in Premature Infants
… to distinguish between infants with normal neurodevelopmental outcome and those with poor neurodevelopmental outcome.

Childhood outcomes in children at risk of neonatal hypoglycaemia
… of this thesis are to (1) describe growth and neurodevelopmental outcomes of children born at risk of neonatal hypoglycaemia, a common condition that may be associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcome; (2) investigate methods used for data collection in paediatric longitudinal studies; …

Electroencephalography of premature infants
… and Objectives: The early prediction of neurodevelopmental outcome in very preterm infants remains challenging. An objective tool with the potential to provide useful information about preterm brain health is the electroencephalogram (EEG) but current knowledge remains incomplete in …

Neurodevelopmental Outcomes of High Risk Infants
… either enhancing or compromising the eventual outcome. Enhanced understanding of those factors that shape infant developmental trajectories will provide an evidence base for the establishment of a supportive environment for the youngest members of society. Purpose: To determine the relationship …

신생아에서의 뇌정맥동 혈전증의 임상 특징 및 예후
… patients with a high risk of an adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. It has been reported that the neonatal incidence is approximately 0.41 per 1000 live births, but the value might be underestimated because of unspecific clinical presentation and difficulties in radiological diagnosis in …

Sepsis Associated Encephalopathy in Extremely Low Gestational Age Neonates
… infants is associated with long term adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. There have been no previous studies to assess the acute changes in brain function during sepsis that may lead to long term adverse neurologic outcomes. The goal of this study was to identify acute changes in brain …

Altered cord blood biomarkers in neonatal brain injury
… for developing strategies to improve long-term outcome. Early identifiers for infants at risk of HIE is prone to subjective-bias or poorly objective biochemical measurements. The umbilical cord blood (UCB) can give a snapshot of both the newborn and the in-utero environment. It is non-invasive …

Computational Magnetic Resonance Image Analysis of Brain Development in the Preterm Infant
… in the preterm population that appear to predict neurodevelopmental outcome in early childhood and include diffuse microstructural disturbances of the developing white matter and regional volumetric tissue losses. In<br/> addition, a number of perinatal risk factors have been identified that are …

The development of posture in very low birthweight infants (<1500 grams)
… deviant postures were predictive of adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. In the first part of the study the 7 postural responses selected by Vojta to evaluate neuromotor development were applied to 69 very low birthweight (VLBW < 1 500 grams) infants and to 28 healthy full-term infants of …

MicroRNA expression and function in neonatal hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy
… of HIE severity and predictors of long term outcome, particularly when coupled with their downstream targets. While this work will need to be validated and expanded in a new and larger cohort of infants, it suggests the potential of miRNA as biomarkers of neonatal pathological conditions such …
