    Abstract:
    The Motor Optimality Score, revised (MOS-R) is an extension of the Prechtl General Movements Assessment. This study aims to determine the relationship between MOS-R and 2-year neurodevelopmental outcomes in a cohort of 169 infants born very preterm (<31 weeks’ gestational age), and to examine the predictive validity of the MOS-R at 3−4 months’ corrected age (CA) above perinatal variables associated with poor outcomes, including Prechtl fidgety movements. Development at 2 years’ CA was assessed using Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third edition (Bayley-III) (motor/cognitive impairment: Bayley-III ≤ 85) and Neurological, Sensory, Motor, Developmental Assessment (NSMDA) (neurosensory motor impairment: NSMDA ≥ 12). Cerebral palsy (CP) was classified at 2 years as definite or clinical. The MOS-R was related to 2-year outcomes: Bayley-III motor (BMOS-R = 1.24 95% confidence interval (0.78, 1.70)), cognitive (BMOS-R = 0.91 (0.48, 1.35)), NSMDA scores (BMOS-R = −0.34 (−0.42, −0.25)), definite CP (odds ratio [OR] 0.67 (0.53, 0.86)), clinical CP (OR 0.74 (0.66, 0.83)) for each 1-point increase in MOS-R. MOS-R ≤ 23 predicted motor (sensitivity 78% (60−91%); specificity 63% (54−72%)) and neurosensory motor impairment (sensitivity 86% (64−97%); specificity 59% (51−68%)). The MOS-R is strongly related to CP and motor and cognitive delay at 2 years and is a good predictor of motor and neurosensory motor impairment.
