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 کاملIntrauterine exposure to infection and risk of cerebral palsy in very preterm infants.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate exposure to intrauterine infection as an independent risk factor for spastic cerebral palsy (CP) among very prematurely born infants. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case-control study. METHODS Singleton children with gestational ages less than 32 weeks and birth weights less than 1999 g who survived to age 2 years and were born from 1988 to 1994 in a level 2 or 3 hospital ...
متن کاملInfection-induced inflammation and cerebral injury in preterm infants.
Preterm birth and infectious diseases are the most common causes of neonatal and early childhood deaths worldwide. The rates of preterm birth have increased over recent decades and account for 11% of all births worldwide. Preterm infants are at significant risk of severe infection in early life and throughout childhood. Bacteraemia, inflammation, or both during the neonatal period in preterm in...
متن کاملChorioamnionitis and outcome in extremely preterm infants.
INTRODUCTION Chorioamnionitis is a risk factor for preterm delivery. Intrauterine infection leads to the fetal inflammatory response which is characterised by elevated cytokine levels. Chorioamnionitis is reported to cause accelerated but abnormal lung maturation, resulting in decreased incidence of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) but increased chronic lung disease (CLD), and predisposes th...
متن کاملUsing gross motor milestones to identify very preterm infants at risk for cerebral palsy.
The authors evaluated the efficacy of 10 gross motor milestones to screen for cerebral palsy in 173 high-risk, very preterm infants (less than or equal to 32 weeks gestation) followed for 18 to 24 months. Correcting for preterm birth and using population norms led to a better improvement in specificity and positive predictive values; race-specific norms did not contribute significantly. Incorpo...
