Relationship between neurological assessments of preterm infants in the first two years and cognitive outcome at school age
Pediatric Neurology

The risk of cognitive disability in preterm infants is higher than in general population. The Amiel-Tison neurological assessment could be a useful tool for early identification of preterm children at risk of cognitive disability in school age. This study investigated the value of categorization of neurological signs assessed by the Amiel-Tison neurological assessment in the first two years of life in relation to cognitive performance at school age in a group of preterm children.
