Meanings of premie in English

Methods: Thirty-four preterm infants were administered the Premie-Neuro in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Main outcome measure: Premie-Neuro raw scores and classifications were analyzed to determine the tool's reliability.

Design: A prospective repeated-measures design was used to assess the reliability and validity of the Premie-Neuro.

Interrater reliability of the Premie-Neuro was poor, and test-retest reliability of the Premie-Neuro was fair to moderate.

Premie-Neuro classifications should be interpreted cautiously.

Implications for practice: Premie-Neuro raw scores may be used by the clinician to identify infants at risk for neurodevelopmental delays.

More research needs to be done to improve the reliability of the Premie-Neuro and assess other facets of the Premie-Neuro's reliability.

Results: Premie-Neuro raw scores were predictive of outcomes at 3 months' adjusted age and 24 months' chronological age.
