Blood adenosine levels positively correlate to the white matter lesions in very low birth weight premature infants

Prematurity affects about 10% of pregnancies worldwide each year. In about 20% of very low birth weight (VLBW) premature infants, punctate white matter lesions (PWML) can be diagnosed at MRI at term equivalent age.
