      examination in premature infants.

AB  - This study examined whether a neurologic examination at 6 months of age is 
      predictive of neurodevelopmental outcome at 12 months in very-low-birth-weight 
      (VLBW) infants. A neurologic examination and the Bayley Scales of Infant 
      Development were performed at 6 and 12 months with VLBW infants and full-term 
      (FT) controls. VLBW infants were categorized based on early medical 
      complications. High-risk (HR) infants had diagnoses of bronchopulmonary 
      dysplasia, pulmonary immaturity, grade III or IV intraventricular hemorrhage, 
      and/or periventricular leukomalacia. VLBW infants with other diagnoses were 
      placed in the low-risk (LR) group. Total neurologic scores (NS) improved over 
      time for all three groups but improved more for HR infants, who had more abnormal 
      NS at both time points; NS at 6 months predicted neurologic and developmental 
      scores at 12 months for all three groups, but the relation between 6- and 
      12-month outcomes was strongest for the HR infants. The neurologic examination 
      may be helpful in assessing VLBW infants' need for referral to early childhood 
      intervention programs.
