Structural conventional | Dyet et al8 | 119 Infants <30 wks | Serial | Abnormal outcomea at 18 mos was related to major destructive lesions, DEHSI, cerebellar hemorrhage, and posthemorrhagic ventricular dilation |
| Miller et al39 | 89 Infants <34 wks | 32 + 37 | Abnormal outcome at 18 mosb was related to severity of WM injury, ventriculomegaly, and intraventricular hemorrhage on first (RR, 5.6) and second (RR, 5.3) MRIs |
| Tam et al40 | 131 Infants <34 wks | 32 + 37 | Abnormal neurologic examination findings at 4.8 yrs were related to large and small cerebellar hemorrhage; OR for small hemorrhage was 5.0 |
DTI | Drobyshevsky et al70 | 24 Infants <32 wks | 30 + 36 | PDIb at 24 mos correlated to FA of the PLIC at 30 wks (r = 0.55), faster increase of FA/wk in internal capsule (r = −0.63), and occipital WM (r = −0.59) |
| Glass et al71 | 9 Infants <34 wks | 33 + 38 | FA of the optic radiation was correlated with visual-evoked-potential amplitude (r = 0.7) at 10.5 mos |
Volumetric | Dubois et al81 | 45 Infants <36 wks | 32 + 41 | Functional assessment at term was associated with inner cortical surface and sulcation index |
| Kapellou et al82 Rathbone et al83 | 119 Infants <30 wks | Serial | Growth of the cortical surface area was related to neurodevelopmental outcomea at 24 mos and full-scale IQ at 6 yrs |
