    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Early Visual Functions in Patients at Risk of Developing Cerebral Visual Impairment. A Pilot Study [5 years]

      The score of the functional visual assessment will be obtained at neonatal age and at 1-3-6-9-12-18-24-36 months of life will be analysed at each age and compared to neurodevelopment findings using different scales according to age. These results will be related to the MRI total score (obtained by the sum of scores by site: cortex, basal ganglia, white matter and cerebellum, normal (0), mild abnormal (1), severely abnormal (2)).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Correlation betwwen functional visual assessment score to MRI score [5 years]

      Results of functional visual assessment will be related to the MRI total score (obtained by the sum of scores by site: cortex, basal ganglia, white matter and cerebellum, normal (0), mild abnormal (1), severely abnormal (2)).
