Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. structural changes of brain injury [100-days]

    MRI/ultrasound will be used to assess the structural severities of brain injury.

  2. functional changes of brain injury [100-days]

    Bayley score will be used to assess the functional severities of brain injury.
