Predicting the Outcome of ADHD in White Matter Injure Neonates With Multi-modality MRI

19 september 2026 bijgewerkt door: First Affiliated Hospital Xi'an Jiaotong University

Multi-center Longitudinal Clinical Study on the Evolution of Neonatal White Matter Injure to ADHD Based on Multi-modality MRI

The goal of this bidirectional observational cohort study is to investigate the longitudinal relationship between neonatal white matter injury (WMI) and the subsequent development of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and to identify early MRI-based markers associated with ADHD-related outcomes. The study includes both retrospective and prospective cohorts to dynamically evaluate the evolution of brain injury, brain development, and behavioral outcomes from infancy to childhood.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Are neonatal WMI characteristics associated with the subsequent development of ADHD? Which MRI-derived features, including semi-quantitative WMI assessment, microstructural alterations, and structural disconnection patterns, are associated with ADHD-related outcomes?

Participants with neonatal WMI will undergo longitudinal clinical, neurodevelopmental, and behavioral follow-up. Researchers will analyze clinical information and MRI findings to characterize WMI evolution and identify imaging markers associated with ADHD risk. Participants will:

undergo brain MRI examinations according to clinical protocols; receive standardized neurodevelopmental and behavioral assessments during follow-up; have MRI-derived measures, including semi-quantitative WMI scores, white matter microstructural features, and structural disconnection measures, analyzed to investigate their associations with ADHD-related outcomes.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

White matter injury (WMI) is a common form of neonatal brain injury and may be associated with altered brain development and later neurodevelopmental disorders. Previous studies have suggested that abnormalities in brain microstructure and connectivity after neonatal WMI may overlap with neural circuits involved in attention and executive function. However, the longitudinal evolution of neonatal WMI and its relationship with the development of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) remain incompletely understood.

This bidirectional observational cohort study will investigate the association between neonatal WMI characteristics and later ADHD-related outcomes through longitudinal clinical and neuroimaging follow-up. The study includes retrospective and prospective cohorts to characterize brain developmental trajectories after neonatal WMI.

Multimodal MRI analyses were performed to quantify WMI-related brain alterations, including conventional MRI-based semi-quantitative assessment, white matter microstructural measurements, and structural disconnection analysis. These MRI-derived features were evaluated in relation to subsequent neurodevelopmental and behavioral outcomes to identify early imaging markers associated with ADHD risk.

Studie Bevolking

The study population is derived from a multicenter neonatal and infant clinical and multimodal MRI database established through a national research project. The database includes clinical information and multimodal MRI data collected from multiple clinical centers. This bidirectional observational cohort study includes neonates with white matter injury (WMI) identified on brain MRI and control neonates without apparent abnormalities on routine MRI. Eligible participants will be screened from the existing database, and clinical characteristics, MRI findings, and longitudinal neurobehavioral outcomes will be analyzed to investigate the association between neonatal brain injury patterns and later developmental outcomes.

Beschrijving

Inclusion Criteria:

Neonates diagnosed with white matter injury (WMI) or neonates without obvious abnormalities on routine MRI examination from the multicenter database.
Brain MRI examination performed within 28 days after birth, with gestational age ≤42 weeks at examination.
Complete MRI data available, including T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).
Complete maternal and pregnancy history information, neonatal demographic characteristics, and clinical information available.

Exclusion Criteria:

Congenital nervous system developmental malformations or suspected genetic or metabolic diseases.
Obvious MRI artifacts affecting image evaluation.
Inability to complete follow-up neurobehavioral assessments.
