Data Collection Event
2 Year Follow Up
Children underwent a clinical assessment by a pediatrician to examine physical, ophthalmological and auditory health. A neurological examination was undertaken by a child neurologist using the Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure (PSOM). In children with Cerebral Palsy the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) was used to quantify motor function. An assessment of development was carried out by a clinical child psychologist using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley-III).
In addition, structured parental interviews were performed and sociodemographic and environmental exposures (parental age and education, family structure and income, number of siblings in the same household, duration of breastfeeding, infants age at day care attendance) as well as the presence of respiratory infections during the first two years of life were recorded.
