Abstract Background: preterm children are at a high risk for neurodevelopmental impairments, but there is variability in the pattern and severity of outcome. Prediction of outcome after preterm birth is critical, but remains difficult, particularly in the early postnatal period. The ability to predict outcome improves parental counseling and selection of infants for early therapeutic strategies aiming at preventing or ameliorating cerebral injury.Purpose: This systematic review is to evaluate the accuracy of Amiel-Tison neurological assessment test (ATNAT) in early diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP) before one year in Infants with risks. Methods: All studies analyzed the prediction of ATNAT for CP in infants at risk, were searched through different search engines (MEDLINE (Pub-Med), Cochrane Register of Diagnostic Test Accuracy Studies, Google Scholar, Cinihal database, Science Direct, ProQuest, Journals @OVID, Pedrodatabases (from 1980 to July 2017) by 2 reviewer rom July 2017 to October. The selected studies (5 studies rom 269) were assessed for methodological quality by using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) Tool |
