Background: Exposure to maternal inflammation is associated with an increased risk of neurocognitive and developmental disorders in offspring. Early diagnosis and intervention improves childhood motor and cognitive functioning. Neonatal cerebral MRI and remote app-based generalised movement assessments (GMAs) are both predictive of adverse neurocognitive outcomes but have only been used in infants at significantly increased risk for these outcomes, rather than following in utero exposure to maternal inflammatory disorders. Methods: Pregnant women with inflammatory bowel disease were assessed clinically and biochemically in each trimester of pregnancy in this single centre prospective study. Neonatal cerebral MRIs were performed at 6–12 weeks post-corrected term. Two GMA videos were filmed using the ‘BabyMoves’ app from 12 to 16 weeks of age. MRIs and GMAs were assessed by a blinded highly qualified practitioner using validated scoring systems. Results: 40/53 of invited maternal-infant dyads were recruited. C-reactive protein was elevated antenatally in less than 13%. 5/37 neonatal MRIs had incidental or obstetric trauma related gross anatomical abnormalities, with none abnormal on validated gross abnormality scoring. 3/35 GMAs were abnormal, with one GMA abnormality being clinically significant. Of those with abnormal GMAs, 2/3 were in exposed to severely active IBD in-utero. Conclusion: Neonatal cerebral MRI and GMA for neurocognitive screening is feasible in the setting of maternal inflammatory bowel disease, where the risk of cerebral palsy is poorly defined and thus burdensome screening interventions are less appealing to parents. Larger studies are required to stratify adverse neurocognitive outcome risk in infants born to women with maternal inflammatory disorders, but these data are reassuring for women with IBD in remission antenatally. |
