Brain proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and neurodevelopment after preterm birth: a systematic review

Background null Preterm infants are at risk of neurodevelopmental impairments. At present, proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) is used to evaluate brain metabolites in asphyxiated term infants. The aim of this review is to assess associations between cerebral 1H-MRS and neurodevelopment after preterm birth. null Methods null PubMed and Embase were searched to identify studies using 1H-MRS and preterm birth. Eligible studies for this...
