NOTE: This is an unreviewed Preprint
Warning: This is a unreviewed preprint (What is a preprint?). Readers are warned that the document has not been peer-reviewed by expert/patient reviewers or an academic editor, may contain misleading claims, and is likely to undergo changes before final publication, if accepted, or may have been rejected/withdrawn (a note "no longer under consideration" will appear above).
Peer review me: Readers with interest and expertise are encouraged to sign up as peer-reviewer, if the paper is within an open peer-review period (in this case, a "Peer Review Me" button to sign up as reviewer is displayed above). All preprints currently open for review are listed here. Outside of the formal open peer-review period we encourage you to tweet about the preprint.
Citation: Please cite this preprint only for review purposes or for grant applications and CVs (if you are the author).
Final version: If our system detects a final peer-reviewed "version of record" (VoR) published in any journal, a link to that VoR will appear below. Readers are then encourage to cite the VoR instead of this preprint.
Settings: If you are the author, you can login and change the preprint display settings, but the preprint URL/DOI is supposed to be stable and citable, so it should not be removed once posted.
Submit: To post your own preprint, simply submit to any JMIR journal, and choose the appropriate settings to expose your submitted version as preprint.
Warning: This is an author submission that is not peer-reviewed or edited. Preprints - unless they show as "accepted" - should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Reliability of Hammersmith Examination in Prediction of Neurological Outcomes (REHAPENO) - Research Protocol
Background:
Background: Studying the neurological developmental outcomes and comparing correlations with MRI (Magnetic resonance image) versus the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE)
Objective:
Objective: To investigate the non-inferiority of MRI to HINE in infant developmental outcomes
Methods:
Settings: Hospital settings including pediatrics and neonatal care units Intervention: No medical or surgical intervention is planned, only correlation and extra analyses would take place to standardize the current practice Measurements: HINE, Brain MRI, Brain Ultrasound and developmental outcomes after 12 months
Results:
Results: The observations collected and correlations measured to figure out the reliability of both HINE and MRI in order to figure to what extent can we rely on HINE alone in expecting the developmental outcomes
Conclusions:
The more reliability would expressed by HINE assessment the accurate expectation of developmental in preterm infants
