Reassures on favorable 1-year outcomes after neonatal enteroviral meningitis; leaves open need for longer-term follow-up studies.
Observational (n=33)
Absolute Event Rate: 98.5% vs 100.2%
p-value: p=0.27
Neonatal enteroviral meningitis in infants >32 weeks gestation is associated with normal growth and neurodevelopment at 1 year.
Balasubramanian et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Cerebrospinal fluid proven enteroviral meningitis (n=33). Enteroviral meningitis vs. Population mean was evaluated on Mean general quotient (GQ) at 1 year corrected for prematurity (p=0.27). Neonatal enteroviral meningitis was associated with normal neurodevelopment at 1 year, with a mean general quotient of 98.5 compared to the population mean of 100.2 (P=0.27).
