Background: Over 3000 children suffer a perinatal brain injury in England every year according to national surveillance. The childhood outcomes of infants with perinatal brain injury are however unknown.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analyses were undertaken of studies published between 2000 and September 2021 exploring school-aged neurodevelopmental outcomes of children after perinatal brain injury compared with those without perinatal brain injury.
Context: Preterm brain injuries are common; neurodevelopmental outcomes following contemporary neonatal care are continually evolving.
Objective: To systematically review and meta-analyze neurodevelopmental outcomes among preterm infants after intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and white matter injury (WMI).
Data Sources: Published and grey literature were searched across 10 databases between 2000 and 2021.
