Perinatal and socio-environmental factors were collected at baseline. Growth mixture modeling was used to explore the patterns of infants\u2019 motor trajectories during their first year of life. Logistic regression analyses were applied to examine the influencing factors associated with motor trajectories and their predictability of 24-month developmental outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Preterm infants with VLBW showed 3 distinct motor trajectories: stably normal (55%), deteriorating (32%), and persistently delayed (13%). Furthermore, the motor trajectories were predictive of 24-month cognitive and motor outcomes. Perinatal factors including lower birth weight, male gender, moderate to severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia, stage III to IV retinopathy of prematurity, and major brain damage were associated with a risk of deteriorating and persistently delayed trajectories (all P &amp;lt; .05).
