Neonatal Critical Illness, 8-Year White Matter Microstructure, and Motor Function in Children Born Very Preterm
Cumulative critical illness in neonates born preterm is associated with long-term changes in white matter microstructure and maturation, which are related to motor and visual motor performance at school-age. These findings highlight the long-term importance of neonatal intensive care exposures and need for school-age follow-up of children born preterm.
