| Description | Journal: Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology The prognostic significance of the auditory brainstem evoked response (ABR) was examined in this prospective study of neonates at risk for neurodevelopmental sequelae. ABR testing was performed in the neonatal period (37 to 45 weeks conceptional age) and at two and/or six months corrected age. 34 high-risk newborns and 14 controls were followed to one year of age, when they received neurological and developmental assessments. Increased I to III and I to V interwave latencies predicted gross motor delay at one year, with a positive predictive power of 83 per cent and a specificity of 94.7 per cent. Increased brainstem conduction, dispersal of waves III to V and V/I amplitude ratio abnormalities predicted abnormal neurological findings at one year, with positive predictive values of 100, 100 and 80 per cent, respectively. A standard clinical examination of the newborn, performed on the at-risk and control infants at 40 weeks conceptional age, was not found to be strongly predictive of neurodevelopmental deficits at one year. |
