Pienipainoiset riskilapset (The Development and Functioning of Very Low Birth Weight Infants)
Initiatives
-
* The aims of the PIPARI research project are:
* to examine the effects of fetal risk factors on the long-term outcome
* to analyse the effects of different treatment modalities used in the neonatal intensive care on the long-term outcome, and to improve the medical care based on research evidence
* to apply new brain imaging techniques and find out their clinical value in follow-up as prognostic tools
* to examine the clinical value of early neurological and behavioural assessment methods as diagnostic and prognostic tools
* to investigate the trajectories of early linguistic, communicative and cognitive development by repeated follow-up examinations up to school age
*to assess the characteristics of the interaction between preterm infants and the caregivers, and to find out its significance to the child’s later development
