Highlights
The term ‘high-risk infants’ denotes infants who should be closely monitored by experienced doctors and nurses
There are numerous studies evaluating the outcome of asphyxiated babies, preterm babies, and extremely low birth weight infants

Summary
The term ‘high-risk infants’ denotes infants who should be closely monitored by experienced doctors and nurses. There are numerous studies evaluating the outcome of asphyxiated babies, preterm babies, and extremely low birth weight infants. The present study aimed at comparing the patterns of development and neurological status of the normal infants and highrisk infants by using different parameters like Trivandrum development scale, anthropometry, neurological examination using neonatal reflexes and Amiel Tison method and ophthalmological and audiometric examination. These parameters will help us to understand the possible deviation in the normal course of development of high-risk infants and early intervention if any signs of developmental disorder are present
