Unstable longitudinal motor performance in preterm infants from 6 to 24 months on the Bayley Scales of Infant Development--Second edition.

摘要

Preterm birth increases the risk for neurologic and developmental disabilities and therefore long-term follow-up is important. This prospective follow-up study aims to describe longitudinal motor performance in preterm infants from 6 to 24 months and to detect the influence of risk factors on motor performance trajectories. We included preterm infants (n=348) with a gestational age of
