Premature birth is a significant cause of infant and child morbidity and mortality. In the United
States, the premature birth rate, which had steadily increased during the 1990s and early …

The human preterm brain is particularly susceptible to cerebral white matter injury (WMI) that
disrupts the normal progression of developmental myelination. Advances in the care of …

CONTEXT: Periventricular/intraventricular hemorrhage (PIVH) is a common short-term
morbidity in preterm infants, but its long-term neurodevelopmental impact, particularly with …

BACKGROUND: To define the nature and frequency of brain injury and brain growth
impairment in very preterm (VPT) infants by using MRI at term-equivalent age and to relate …

With advances in neonatal care, preterm neonates are surviving with an evolving
constellation of motor and cognitive disabilities that appear to be related to widespread …

Background Very preterm infants are at high risk for adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been proposed as a means of predicting …

Background. Long-term studies of the outcome of very prematurely born infants have clearly
documented that the majority of such infants have significant motor, cognitive, and …

OBJECTIVE. Although cerebellar hemorrhagic injury is increasingly diagnosed in infants
who survive premature birth, its long-term neurodevelopmental impact is poorly defined. We …

Background Opioid analgesia is commonly used during neonatal intensive care. We
undertook the Neurologic Outcomes and Pre-emptive Analgesia in Neonates (NEOPAIN) …
