Objective -- This prospective observational study was designed to examine the relationship between the Movement Assessment of Infants risk scores at six-months with neurodevelopmental outcome at one year. Method -- Babies (n=60) with birth weight = 1500gms and admitted to neonatal intensive care unit formed the cohort of the study. Infants with congenital anomalies, genetic disorders, neuromuscular disorders, metabolic disorders and neurological disorders like hydrocephalus, meningitis, enchaphalitis during neonatal period influencing neuromotor outcome were excluded. The infants, whose mothers consetned to participate, were evaluated using the Movement Assessment of Infants scale at 6-months of corrected age by the principal investigator. The follow up assessment was done at one year of corrected age by a trained clinical psychologist using the motor and mental scale of Bayley scale of infant development-ill. Results -- The infant total risk scores of Movement Assessment of Infants at six months significantly correlated (p value <.000) with both motor and mental scale of Bayley at one year. There was significant negative correlation between all the categorical scores (muscle tone, primitive reflexes, automatic reactions and volitional movements) of six-month, Movement Assessment of Infants with the both mental and motor scale of Bayley at one year (p<.000). Conclusion -- The Movement Assessmetn of Infants at 6-month appears to be a valid tool to identify both mental and motor abnormalities in Very low birth weight infants although it is primarily an evaluation of neuromotor status.
