Neonatal assessments for the preterm infant up to 4 months corrected age: a systematic review.

Abstract

In the absence of a criterion standard for neonatal neuromotor assessments, the NNNS and APIB have strong psychometric qualities with better utility for research. Similarly, the GMs, TIMP, and NAPI have strong psychometric qualities but better utility for clinical settings.

The GMs has best prediction of future outcome and the TIMP has best evaluative validity.
