RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Approximately 60% of preterm infants who are assessed at 5 years for motor performance in a standardized multidisciplinary follow-up program are found to have normal results, indicating that, for these children, routine motor assessment at this age is unnecessary. AIM: To improve the efficiency of our follow-up practice for motor assessment by developing a model to predict motor performance of preterm infants at 5 years with a maximal sensitivity (>or=90%). STUDY DESIGN: Longitudinal design. SUBJECTS: We included preterm infants (n=371) with a gestational age of Assuntos
