Correlation Between Cerebral Oxygenation and Neurodevelopment in VLBW Preterm Infants.

"Griffiths Mental Development Scales investigate 5 main areas (locomotor, personal and social skills, hearing and language, eye and hand coordination, performance), providing a general developmental quotient (DQ) of infant's abilities and five sub-scale quotients (SQ) for each developmental area.~The assessments are performed individually in a quiet room, over a 45-min period, by the same professional trained psychologist for the whole study period and are implemented in the presence of the infant's parent. The obtained results are adjusted for corrected age, in order to consider the neurobiological maturation of the enrolled infants."
