Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary outcome measures: Brain white matter damage (WMD, defined by MRI, US, EEG) There is no single parameter that can be seen as an endpoint in this clinical part of the study. All the different biomarkers (EEG/ proteomics and metabolomics) will be investigated for being the best predictive marker for white matter injury that will be seen on the MRI performed at the term equivalent age. Following on to this, it will be studied whether these markers will also be predictive for the neurodevelopmental outcome as tested at two years of age with a BSID-III. | — |
