Description
Yudai Kaneda writes a 2026 letter urging a closer split of babies in a massage trial. The trial tested mother-led massage with voice contact in preterm infants. Outcomes covered bonding and motor growth, both vital for fragile newborns.
Kaneda argues the study underplays birth weight, a well-proven split for newborn risk. Very low and low birth weight bands predict later development strongly, at times better than gestational age. One cited model on the smallest infants scored strikingly well by weight alone. Splitting results by weight could reveal who truly gains from the massage. Letters like this keep trial reading honest and complete.
