NCT03345069

Brief Summary

The Early Prediction Study is a longitudinal population-based cohort study for very preterm infants ≤32 weeks gestational age. Preterm infants recruited from three greater Cincinnati and two Dayton area neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) will undergo advanced MRIs at 41 weeks postmenstrual age and neurodevelopmental testing at the corrected ages of two and three years correct age. The goal of the Early Prediction Study is to accurately predict motor, cognitive, and behavioral deficits in individual very preterm infants using neuroimaging technologies and established epidemiologic approaches.

Study Population

All very preterm infants (≤32 weeks completed gestational age) from a geographically-based population cared for in level III/IV NICUs in Cincinnati/Dayton are eligible. Those with known chromosomal or congenital anomalies affecting the central nervous system or with cyanotic heart disease will be excluded.

You may qualify if:

  • Hospitalized infants born at ≤32 weeks completed gestational age that are being cared for in all three level III/IV NICUs from the Greater Cincinnati area.

You may not qualify if:

  • Infants with known chromosomal or congenital anomalies affecting the central nervous system or with cyanotic heart disease.
