Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary endpoints: The quality of GMs (in particular fidgety movements, FMs) at 13 weeks (range 11-15) after term from video recordings, using Prechtl*s method of assessing General Movements, as Normal /Abnormal (Einspieler 1997), and additionally the assessment of the Motor Optimality Score (MOS)(quantitative score on details of the early motor repertoire, ranging from 5 (lowest optimality) to 28 (highest optimality) (Bruggink 2009). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoint: Information about etiology and survival will be gathered using a standard clinical form. Additionally, the quality of GMs will be assessed one week after birth, at term age (+/- 2 weeks), and at 18 weeks (+/- 2 weeks) after term age using video recordings. The recordings will last 45 minutes if before term age, and 10 minutes from term age (38 weeks postmenstrual age) onwards. Again, the GMs will be assessed as normal /abnormal, and the Motor Optimality Score will be assessed. For recordings before 42 weeks postmenstrual age we will use an age-adequate Motor Optimality Score (MOS), ranging from 8 (least optimal) to 18 (most optimal) (De Vries 2008). | — |
