Clinical Factors Related to Abnormal General Movements Trajectories: Development of a Multicriteria Index.

Purpose: To create a multicriteria index with clinical factors associated with abnormal general movements (GMs) trajectories during a stay in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Methods: A longitudinal study assessed abnormal GMs trajectories in preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit. The multicriteria index included clinical factors such as intraventricular hemorrhage, respiratory support, gestational age, patent ductus arteriosus, and infection based on multi-attribute utility theory.

Hybrid developmental follow-up for preterm infants in Brazil: A feasibility study.

Introduction: The low attendance of families in child developmental follow-up programs for at-risk preterm children is a challenge in Brazil.

Objective: This study evaluates the feasibility of implementing a developmental follow-up program for Brazilian preterm infants in a hybrid format.

Methods: This is an observational, prospective cohort study, involving preterm infants.
