To establish the criterion with the best predictive factor,multiple regression analysis was performed with outcome as dependent variable and periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage,periventricular leukomalacia, and stage of myelination as independent variables.It appeared that the detection of periventricular leukomalacia with ultrasound showed the best predictive factor for neurodevelopmental outcome.Routine magnetic resonance imaging at 44 weeks postmenstrual age should not be performed just for the purpose of predicting neurodevelopmental outcome more reliably. |
