Abstract
This commentary is on the original articles by Romeo et al. and Uusitalo et al. on pages 939–946 and 947–953 of this issue.
Highlights
Two new studies add to this evidence by reporting moderately strong associations between the scores on the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) in infancy and cognition later on.[1,2]
It is interesting that they report similar results, with the associations remaining strong after excluding children with cerebral palsy (CP) from their analyses
The associations found have been demonstrated in several studies regarding the predictive value of General Movement Assessment (GMA) for later cognition.[3]
