Recovery of Head Circumference Z-Score in Healthy Very Preterm Infants at Term-...
Oliveira, Joana A.; Sousa, Rodrigo; Graça, André M.Introduction: Head circumference is widely used as a marker of brain growth in very preterm infants (VPT). We aimed to evaluate the progression of head circumference (HC), extra-cerebral space (ECS) and estimated brain volume (EBV) of VPT between birth and term equivalent age (TEA) in comparison to term-born controls. Methods: We assessed prospectively a cohort of infants born at ≤32 weeks gestation and term co...
