Stability of neurodevelopmental trajectories in moderately late and early preterm children born 15 years apart.

Neurodevelopmental trajectories are similar for early and moderately late preterm children born 15 years apart and thus seem quite stable in time. The validated Developmental score visualizes these trajectories based on developmental milestone attainment Because of its stability over time, the Developmental score trajectory may aid clinicians in neurodevelopmental assessment of preterm children as this simplifies monitoring and interpretation, similar to a growth chart.
