Abstract
Bayley developmental assessments were performed at 12 months corrected age on 11 preterm infants, all of whom had undergone 133-Xenon cerebral blood flow measurements (CBF) on the 1st day of life and neonatal computerized tomography scans for the detection of intraventricular hemorrhage. The Bayley mental index was found to vary as a quadratic function of CBF to the left hemisphere, with moderate CBF values associated with more favorable outcomes than either low or high CBF values.Keywords
