Neonatal Cerebral Blood Flow and the Neurobehavioral and Handedness Outcomes in Term and Preterm Adolescents

NCT04708652 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 190

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The results will provide insightful information to understand the process of neural development and the predictive value of early cerebral blood flow measures on longitudinal neurodevelopment and handedness outcomes in preterm and term adolescents. The findings also contribute to the understanding of effectiveness of early intervention on long-term neurodevelopmental outcome in preterm children at adolescence.

Our study has three hypotheses as below:

1. The preterm intervention group have higher neuromotor scores, lower behavioral problem scores and higher incidence of right-handedness than the preterm control group.
2. The preterm intervention group have comparable neuromotor scores, behavioral problem scores and incidence of right-handedness than the term adolescents.
3. The neonatal cerebral blood flow velocity asymmetry measures are significantly associated with the infant, preschool, school and adolescent neurodevelopment and handedness outcomes in preterm children with very low birth weight and term children.
