A novel scoring system for term-equivalent-age cranial ultrasound in extremely preterm infants
A novel scoring system for term-equivalent-age cranial ultrasound in extremely preterm infants
The role of term-equivalent-age (TEA) cranial ultrasound (cUS) in predicting outcome in preterm infants is increasingly being recognized. However, a detailed quantitative scoring system that allows comparison of groups and comparison with TEA magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scoring systems is lacking. Eighty-four extremely preterm infants underwent cUS and MRI at TEA. Cranial US was evaluated using a novel detailed scoring system. Agreement between cUS and MRI scores was good (Spearman's ρ = 0.51, p < 0.001). Outcome at 30 mo corrected was assessed in 66 of 84 preterm and 85 term-born infants. Sensitivity was the same for cUS and MRI in prediction of cerebral palsy (75%) and severe cognitive delay (100%); the specificity was slightly higher for MRI (cerebral palsy: 97% vs. 90%, severe cognitive delay: 95% vs. 90%). The proposed novel cUS scoring system is a helpful tool in quantitative assessment of cUS at TEA and prediction of outcome at 30 mo.

Abstract
The role of term-equivalent-age (TEA) cranial ultrasound (cUS) in predicting outcome in preterm infants is increasingly being recognized. However, a detailed quantitative scoring system that allows comparison of groups and comparison with TEA magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scoring systems is lacking. Eighty-four extremely preterm infants underwent cUS and MRI at TEA. Cranial US was evaluated using a novel detailed scoring system. Agreement between cUS and MRI scores was good (Spearman's ρ = 0.51, p < 0.001). Outcome at 30 mo corrected was assessed in 66 of 84 preterm and 85 term-born infants. Sensitivity was the same for cUS and MRI in prediction of cerebral palsy (75%) and severe cognitive delay (100%); the specificity was slightly higher for MRI (cerebral palsy: 97% vs. 90%, severe cognitive delay: 95% vs. 90%). The proposed novel cUS scoring system is a helpful tool in quantitative assessment of cUS at TEA and prediction of outcome at 30 mo.
