Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the connection between placental pathology and neurodevelopmental outcomes in neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) who received therapeutic hypothermia.
- Analyzing data from 120 neonates, the research found that 29% of those assessed died, and 48% had major placental abnormalities.
- However, no significant association was found between these placental abnormalities and the neurodevelopmental outcomes or mortality rates by age two.
Background: Very preterm birth is often associated with executive function deficits later in life. The transition to adolescence increases personal autonomy, independence and, in parallel, the demands placed on executive functions at home and in school.
Aim: To assess the impact of increasing demands on executive function performance in very preterm children and adolescents with normal intellectual and motor functions.
