General Movement Assessment Predicts Neuro-Developmental Outcome in Very Low Birth Weight Infants at Two Years - A Five-Year Observational Study.

Objective: To assess the value of general movements (GMs) in predicting the neurodevelopmental outcome using Bayley Scale of Infant Development III (BSID-III) at two years of age in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants.
