2 Child Development Centre (CDC Kerala) Reduction of Childhood Disability through Reduction of Low Birth Weight through Reduction of Pre-Adolescent girls under nutrition

3 Causes of under-five deaths in India Top five causes of death in Infants

4 Prevention of Brain Damage: Insults during pregnancy can cause Brain Damage or alter Brain Development from: "The Newborn Brain: Neuroscience and Clinical Applications, Philippe Evrard, Mark Hanson, andhugo Lagercrantz Ca bridge U iversity Press

5 Prevention of Brain Damage: Developmentally Supportive Newborn Care Avoiding Hostile! NICU environment Infant Handling observing infant cues Positioning to reduce energy losses Body containment Swaddling Kangaroo Care Community setting

6 Prevention of Brain Damage: Impairment Disability Handicap Early Intervention Assessing Outcomes Risk stratification Change in NICU Practices

7 CDC-KIMS : Risk Stratification Score Risk Abnormal outcome Total 1 and 2 Low 9 (4.5%) 197 (87.5%) 3, 4 and 5 High 5 (17.8%) 28 (12.5%)

8 Prevention of Brain Damage: O2, Glucose, Perfusion

9 Prevention of Brain Damage: Prediction of Quality of Survival Cystic Periventricular Leucomalacia (cpvl) US Scan should be used like a Stethoscope
