Abstract
Aim: To assess the predictive validity of the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development - Third Edition (Bayley-III) for later motor outcome. Method: Ninety-six infants (49 males, 47 females) born at less than 30 weeks' gestation admitted to two tertiary hospitals in Melbourne, Australia, were assessed with the Bayley-III Motor Scale at 2 years' corrected age and were classified as suspect or definite motor impairment if they scored less than -1 or -2 standard deviations respectively, relative to the test mean. At 4 years' corrected age, children completed Movement Assessment Battery for Children - Second Edition (MABC-2); for the total motor score, cut-offs of not more than the 15th w..
