Abstract

As the number of preterm infants in China has been increasing year by year due to the improvement of medical treatment,the number of preterm infants with brain injury is rising.Hence early recogniton and intervention has become an important way to improve prognosis.Neurological assessment tool,one of the early identification methods,has been widely used in clinical practice because of its characteristics of noninvasive,economical,practical and easy to operate.Although there are many types of tools currently used in children's development assessment,most of the tools are not suitable for preterms because of their small gestational age and fragility.Consequently,it is necessary to choose a specific neurology assessment tool for preterm infants.This paper reviews the current neurological assessment tools for preterm infants in order to provide reference for clinical assessment.
