Abstract

With the development of medical science, more methods are used for the early detection of neurodevelopmental impairment in premature infants in order to improve their neurodevelopmental outcomes, such as the examination in brain structure, metabolism, neurological function and the application of neurobehavioral assessment scales. In recent years, cranial ultrasound and cranial MRI are widely used in clinic, amplitude-integrated EEG, brainstem auditory evoked potentials,whole-body motor assessment and the Alberta Infant Movement Scale and Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment(NBNA) score have been used more often in clinical practice, resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging, Dubowitz Neurological Assessment Method and Hammersmith Neurological Assessment Method have been gradually used in premature infants. In this paper, the characteristics and clinical application of these assessment methods are discussed.
