Neurodevelopment of Extremely Preterm Infants in Switzerland, 2009-2020

A 2009-2020 study of 408 surviving extremely preterm infants from a Swiss tertiary care neonatal centre, evaluating perinatal and 18-month outcomes. The dataset, authored by Marion Decaillet and shared under CC-BY-4.0, likely contains associations between social determinants like parental language, socioeconomic status, and nationality with neurodevelopmental scores.

Use Cases

• Analyzing associations between parental socioeconomic status and neonatal outcomes like oxygen use at 36 weeks based on the study description.
• Investigating the relationship between maternal nationality and rates of multiple births in preterm infants based on the study description.
• Modeling the impact of parental language on cognitive and language scores at 18 months based on the study description.
• Comparing neurodevelopmental impairment rates across different social determinant groups based on the study description.

Strengths

• Includes data on 408 patients with a median gestational age of 26 6/7 weeks and median birthweight of 790g.
• Contains longitudinal outcomes assessed at 18 corrected months using Bayley Scales of Infant Development.
• Explicitly analyzes three social determinants of health: maternal nationality, parental SES, and parental language.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is limited to a single tertiary care centre in Switzerland, which may affect generalizability.
