Description
Nathália de Figueiredo Silva and co-authors run a feasibility study on following preterm babies in northeastern Brazil in a 2026 paper. Babies born early face higher risks of movement and thinking delays, and the risk grows where early help services are scarce. Tracking them over time in such settings is hard.
At a referral maternity hospital, babies born at or before 32 weeks were enrolled during their stay. Of 45 eligible infants, 20 enrolled and half finished follow-up at three months corrected age, with 67 assessments done in all. Deaths and lost contact caused most attrition. Standard motor and development tests were used at three time points.
