About this trial

The Investigator proposes to record the fetal and postnatal development of children conceived using Mitochondrial Donation (MD) and to perform expert assessment of development at 18 months (corrected for gestational age) using the internationally validated Bayley-III developmental assessment tool.

A normal neurodevelopmental quotient scored using a Bayley-III ( Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition) at 18 months (corrected

The Bayley Scale of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley III) measures physical, motor, sensory, and cognitive development in babies and young children. The scale encompasses five developmental domains - cognitive, language, motor, social-emotional and adaptive behaviour. The structure of the Bayley-III Scales allows clinicians to administer each of the five scales (cognitive, language-receptive and expressive, motor-fine and gross, social-emotional, and adaptive behaviour) independent of others. Higher scores in each scale indicates more advanced development. Performance is summarised via scaled scores for each subtest, and composite scores for each scale, together with percentile ranks, developmental age equivalents, and growth scores. Discrepancy information is used to determine whether there are significant differences between a child's abilities in the domains measured, and how prevalent these differences are in the norming sample. A total score is not provided.
