INTRODUÇÃO: Recém-nascidos pré-termo (RNPT) requerem maiores cuidados, muitas vezes precisando passar por Unidades de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTIN), onde são submetidos a diversos procedimentos invasivos. Estes lactentes precisam ser avaliados e acompanhados até a alta hospitalar. OBJETIVOS: Correlacionar os dados obtidos na avaliação dos General Movements (GMs) com a escala de sinais de alerta Valoración Al Alta de Neonatología em pré-termos nascidos em um hospital público de referência. METODOLOGIA: Após a assinatura do Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido (TCLE) pelos responsáveis, foram avaliados dados de prontuário eletrônico e aplicadas as escalas em até 48 horas antes da alta. Utilizou-se estatisticamente análises comparativas e o teste T para a avaliação da correlação dos dados. Foram excluídos todos os lactentes que tiveram a guarda judicializada. RESULTADOS: A amostra contou com 12 bebês, dos quais 3 foram excluídos. Entre os participantes elegíveis, o sinal de alerta alterado que mais predominou foi o de tônus cervical. Nos GMs, foi a complexidade que se associou positivamente com lactentes com menos sinais de alerta alterados. CONCLUSÃO: Evidenciou-se que a complexidade dos GMs apresentou a associação mais consistente com sinais neurológicos adequados, demonstrando a eficácia dos GMs e dos sinais de alerta, reforçando a utilidade conjunta das duas avaliações para o rastreamento precoce do neurodesenvolvimento em RNPT.
