    AbstractTo explore the relationship between general movements (GMs) and neonatal behavior neurological assessment (NBNA)/cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in preterm infants.Forty preterm infants were examined with GMs assessment before gestational age of 40 weeks; NBNA was performed at the age of 40 weeks; cerebral MRI was performed at the age of 42 weeks.Our experiment showed that preterm infants with poor GMs scores are more likely to have low NBNA scores (P = .001); preterm infants with abnormal cerebral MRI are more likely to have low NBNA scores (P = .002); preterm infants with poor GMs scores are more likely to have abnormal cerebral MRI (P = .012).GM assessment is correlated with NBNA and MRI results in preterm infants for neurological development.Copyright © 2021 the Author(s).
