Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameter is the relationship between hippocampal volume before discharge and memory at five and eight years of age in all subjects. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - The association between factors associated with critical illness (e.g. hypoxia, hyperoxia, anesthetic and analgosedative exposure) and severity of illness (e.g. duration of ICU admission, PRISM, PIM, SNAP-II, VIS) and hippocampal volume at eight years of age - The association between factors associated with critical illness (e.g. hypoxia, hyperoxia, anesthetic and analgosedative exposure) and severity of illness (e.g. PRISM, PIM, SNAP-II, VIS) and memory at five and eight years of age - The difference between hippocampal development between the survivors of neonatal critical illness and healthy controls (Generation R NEXT population) - The difference between memory outcome between the survivors of neonatal critical illness and the reference population (Dutch normative data) | — |
