Long-term neurodevelopmental outcome of neonates born at term with perinatal haemorrhagic stroke: A population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To assess the long-term neurodevelopmental outcome of neonates born at term diagnosed with perinatal haemorrhagic stroke (PHS) and investigate the associations among brain territorial involvement, clinical risk factors, and neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Method

We conducted a population-based study enrolling 55 neonates born at term with PHS confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging born between 2007 and 2017. Long-term neurodevelopmental outcome was assessed using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, Second Edition, the Brunet-Lézine test, and the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, Fifth Edition.

Results
