Risk factors associated with cerebral palsy in preterm infants.
OBJECTIVE To examine pregnancy outcomes in preterm delivered children with cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS A retrospective population-based cohort study of children born in California (January 1, 1991 and December 31, 2001) with CP were identified (State databases) and compared to children without CP. We examined demographic data and pregnancy outcomes by gestational age groups controlling for m...
متن کاملCramped synchronized general movements in preterm infants as an early marker for cerebral palsy.
OBJECTIVE To ascertain whether specific abnormalities (ie, cramped synchronized general movements [GMs]) can predict cerebral palsy and the severity of later motor impairment in preterm infants affected by brain lesions. DESIGN Traditional neurological examination was performed, and GMs were serially videotaped and blindly observed for 84 preterm infants with ultrasound abnormalities from bir...
متن کاملEarly identification of cerebral visual impairments in infants born extremely preterm.
AIM Children born extremely preterm are at risk of visual processing problems related to brain damage. Damage in visual pathways can remain undetected by conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional consequences cannot always be predicted. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of processing visual information in infants born extremely preterm at a corrected age of 1 y...
متن کاملCerebral oxygenation in preterm infants.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Prone sleeping is a major risk factor for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and preterm infants are at significantly increased risk. In term infants, prone sleeping is associated with reduced mean arterial pressure (MAP) and cerebral tissue oxygenation index (TOI). However, little is known about the effects of sleeping position on TOI and MAP in preterm infants. We ai...
متن کاملAssessment of neurological status in preterm infants in neonatal intensive care and prediction of cerebral palsy.
The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of a neurological assessment performed before discharge from the nursery to predict cerebral palsy at three years of age in preterm infants. Infants born < 31 weeks gestation between 1992 and 1996 were assessed using the Lacey Assessment of the Preterm Infant (LAPI) prior to discharge. Infants were classified as having no abnorm...
