Early neurobehavior at 30 weeks postmenstrual age is related to outcome at term equivalent age

To determine 1) the relationship between infant medical factors and early neurobehavior, and 2) the relationship between early neurobehavior at 30 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) and neurobehavior at term equivalent age.
