Are Simple Magnetic Resonance Imaging Biomarkers Predictive of Neurodevelopmental Outcome at Two Years in Very Preterm Infants?

CONCLUSION: Simple brain metrics and TAS did not reliably predict neurodevelopmental outcome in a cohort with low prevalence of high grade brain injury. The additional value of SWI is yet to be determined in larger cohorts. The combination of imaging and functional biomarkers may be advisable for the prediction of neurodevelopmental outcome.
