Abstract

Babies who are exposed to high-risk factors during pregnancy, delivery, or immediately after birth are termed as high-risk babies. Preterm and birth-asphyxiated babies account for most of the high-risk babies, and these high-risk babies are at risk of adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. The adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes vary from mild motor and language delay to global delay, hearing and visual impairments, seizures and also long-term intellectual impairment, academic underachievement, and learning difficulties, thereby posing increased burden to family, society, and nation as well. Regular and close follow-up of any high-risk babies with early identification of any delay and early intervention with multidisciplinary approach will help to enhance the optimal development.
