Abstract

This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article.

Lower iron stores were associated with suboptimal gross motor scores in infants at 3–7 months

“…Two infants were withdrawn from the study by their parents after inclusion, leaving 252 infants for analyses. Details on inclusion, background characteristics and clinical and biochemical findings have been published elsewhere 12–14 . The infants were categorised into three groups: 170 born at gestational age ≥37 weeks and appropriate weight for gestational age, 39 born at a gestational age of ≥37 weeks and 43 born preterm at gestational age 32–36 + 6 weeks.…”

“…We invited infants born at gestational age ≥32 weeks, without identified perinatal neurological disease 12–14 . All infants were recruited at Vestfold Hospital Trust and were examined by a paediatrician at invitation.…”

The 7/43 (16%) infants born preterm and small for gestational age were categorised as preterm.…”

“…We invited infants born at gestational age ≥32 weeks, without identified perinatal neurological disease. [12][13][14] All infants were recruited at Vestfold Hospital Trust and were examined by a paediatrician at invitation. Small for gestational age was defined as birth weight below the 10th percentile for gestational age.…”

Biomarker und Neuromonitoring zur Entwicklungsprognose nach perinataler Hirnschädigung

“…Zur Beurteilung einer altersentsprechenden Entwicklung wird der Score an das korrigierte Alter bei Untersuchung und das Gestationsalter bei der Geburt adaptiert. Neben hilfreichen Cut-off-Scores zur Vorhersage einer CP wurden kürzlich Perzentilen für das Alter zwischen 3 und 7 Monaten vorgestellt [ 60 , 68 , 74 ]. Die HINE kann im Alter von 5 Monaten mit einer Sensitivität > 90 % eine CP vorhersehen [ 68 ].…”
