Neurological and visual assessments in very and late low-risk preterm infants

In this review, we report our experience on early neurological and visual developments in preterm infants assessed during the neonatal period using the Dubowitz neonatal neurological assessment and a new battery for visual assessment. The assessments were performed in both very and late low-risk preterm infants and in healthy term-born infants. We report the findings in the three cohorts, evaluating the influence of gestational age and extrauterine exposure on both neurological and visual developments.
