Neurodevelopmental Assessment of Infants With Cystic Fibrosis

Infants' neurodevelopmental assessments will be done by the Bayley-III Baby and Child Development Assessment Scale (Bayley III) and the Gross Motor Function Measure. Bayley-III assess the development of five distinct scales to be consistent with areas of appropriate developmental assessment for children from birth to age 3. The Bayley-III revision includes Cognitive, Language, Motor, Social-Emotional, and Adaptive Behavior scales.The Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) has 5 dimensions: A-lying and roll- ing; B-sitting; C- kneeling and crawl- ing; D-standing; and E-walking, run- ning, and jumping. The items are scored from 0 to 3. All items are summarized and expressed as a value of total points for each dimension of the GMFM.
