Abstract

Mrs. Geetika Sood

Preterm infants are exposed to a stressful environment which negatively effects the early brain development and subsequent neurobehavioral outcomes. Many studies have cited benefits of Developmentally Supportive Care (DSC) in NICU and Early Intervention. This longitudinal interventional study aimed to examine benefits of early detection of neurobehavioural issues, Infant Centered DSC and Early Intervention on neurodevelopmental outcomes of healthy preterm Indian infants.
