Poor postnatal head growth in very preterm infants is associated with impaired neurodevelopment outcome

Aim To examine the association between neurodevelopmental outcome and head circumference (HC) in a cohort of very preterm infants and in this context to investigate the relevance of suboptimal head size. Methods Somatometric data were obtained at birth, discharge and 3, 12 and 24 months for all infa...
