Determination of Predictors of Brain Injury in Very Preterm Infants - A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Despite decades of research, there is inadequate evidence on the etiological factors of brain injury in preterm infants.

Objective: To study the perinatal risk factors for preterm brain injury and to assess their strength of association.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we included infants born at <32 weeks' gestation and had either magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or cranial ultrasound (CUS) performed at term equivalent age.
