Association of Severe Retinopathy of Prematurity and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia with Adverse Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in Preterm Infants without Severe Brain Injury.

ABSTRACT: Although impaired neurodevelopment is strongly associated with severe brain injury, most preterm infants survive without severe brain injury. In this study, the association of impaired neurodevelopment and neonatal morbidities of preterm infants was assessed after excluding those with severe brain injury. This was a retrospective study of very low birthweight infants in a single tertiary center. After excluding infants with severe brain injury, the study population was categorized as infants without intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and with low-grade IVH. Neurodevelopmental outcomes at a corrected age (CA) of 18-24 months were evaluated using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development 3rd Edition (Bayley-III). Cerebral palsy (CP), hearing impairment and blindness were also assess
