Reduced Cerebellar Size at Term-Equivalent Age Is Related to a 17% Lower Mental Developmental Index in Very Preterm Infants without Brain Injury.

DISCUSSION: We found that reduced TCD was associated with a 17% lower mean MDI at a corrected age of 2 years. Thus, TCD at TEA may be used as an imaging marker for adverse cognitive outcome in the apparently low-risk group of preterm infants without brain injury.
