AB  - All  infants  are  at  risk  for  adverse  outcomes,  but  the  risk  is  far  higher  for  infants  that  require  neonatal  intensive  care.  Many  of  the  highest  risk  infants  require  neonatal  intensive  care.  Most  of  the  conditions  that  place  a  neonate  at  risk  of  dying  (eg,  preterm  birth,  sepsis,  organ  injury  or  malformation)  also  increase  the  risk  of  subsequent  health  and  neurodevelopmental  problems.  Over  the  last  half  century,  major  advances  in  high-risk  obstetrics  and  neonatal  intensive  care  have  yielded  dramatic  reductions  in  neonatal  mortality  at  all  gestational  ages.1,2  There  has  been  no  concomitant  dramatic  reduction  in  frequency  of  health  problems  or  neurodevelopmental  disabilities.  Since  no  one  can  foresee  the  future  for  an  individual  infant,  prediction  of  outcome  relies  on  assessment  of  the  infant’s  current  status  (eg,  neuroimaging  and  examination  findings)  as  well  as  prenatal,  perinatal,  and  neonatal  risk  factors,  illnesses,  and  treatments.3,4
