MAGnesium sulphate for fetal neuroprotection to prevent Cerebral Palsy (MAG-CP)—implementation of a national guideline in Canada

Evidence supports magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) for women at risk of imminent birth at < 32–34 weeks to reduce the likelihood of cerebral palsy in the child. MAGnesium sulphate for fetal neuroprotection to preven...

Timing of delivery in a high-risk obstetric population: a clinical prediction model

The efficacy of antenatal corticosteroid treatment for women with threatened preterm birth depends on timely administration within 7 days before delivery. We modelled the probability of delivery within 7 days ...

Prediction of Brain Network Age and Factors of Delayed Maturation in Very Preterm Infants

Babies born very preterm (<32 weeks postmenstral age), are at a high risk of having delayed or altered neurodevelopment. Diffusion MRI (dMRI) is a non-invasive neuroimaging modality that allows for early analy...

Predictive Subnetwork Extraction with Structural Priors for Infant Connectomes

We present a new method to identify anatomical subnetworks of the human white matter connectome that are predictive of neurodevelopmental outcomes. We employ our method on a dataset of 168 preterm infant conne...

Magnesium sulphate for fetal neuroprotection: benefits and challenges of a systematic knowledge translation project in Canada

Administration of magnesium sulphate (MgSO₄) to women with imminent preterm birth at <34 weeks is an evidence-based antenatal neuroprotective strategy to prevent cerebral palsy. Although a Society of Obstetrician...

Prediction of Motor Function in Very Preterm Infants Using Connectome Features and Local Synthetic Instances

We propose a method to identify preterm infants at highest risk of adverse motor function (identified at 18 months of age) using connectome features from a diffusion tensor image (DTI) acquired shortly after b...
