Abstract:
Compared with term infants,late preterm infants experience poorer neurodevelopment outcomes such as cerebral palsy,developmental delay,mental retardation,school performance and behavioural problems because of their immature brain,impact of diseases,neonatal care and later education.Case history,early neurodevelopment evaluation,electrophysiology evaluation and neuroimaging evaluation are needed to early identify neurodevelopment disability.Similarly,appropriate intervention such as daily function training,rehabilitation training,psychotherapy,special school education and a long-term evaluation,monitoring and follow-up of late preterm infants are needed to improve human health status.
