Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Score at the Prechtl Qualitative General Movements Assessment

evaluate the validity of family-led recordings for General Movement Assessment (GMA) compared to provider-led recordings in neonates born \<29 weeks using the Prechtl Qualitative General Movements Assessment

Secondary Outcomes

Measure prognostic value using local Canadian Neonatal Network (CNN) and Canadian Neonatal Follow Up Network (CNFUN) databases and electronic medical chart review

to measure the prognostic value of the GMA in predicting Cerebral Palsy(CP) at 18 months corrected age. Information on patient characteristics and outcomes will be collected from the local Canadian Neonatal Network (CNN) and Canadian Neonatal Follow Up Network (CNFUN) databases for all infants meeting inclusion criteria. Additional data around GMA and neurodevelopment not included in the CNN/CNFUN databases will be collected through electronic medical chart review of all infants meeting inclusion criteria.

Time frame: From enrollment up to 18 months corrected age

Assess age at referral

to assess the age at referral for community rehabilitation services for infants with GMA early signs of CP using patient electronic charts

Time frame: From enrollment up to 18 months corrected age

Assess parental satisfaction using a feedback questionnaire

to assess the parental satisfaction with the GMA administration process and the training materials provided using a feedback questionnaire

Time frame: From enrollment up to 18 months corrected age
