Abstract
Prematurity, intrauterine infection and perinatal brain injury have been reported to be significant risk factors of cerebral palsy (CP). We examined the perinatal predictors of cerebral palsy and delayed development (DD) in 184 high risk infants. Thirty-five infants were diagnosed as cerebral palsy and delayed development at 12 months corrected age. Antenatal, intrapartum, and neonatal factors were prospectively evaluated in 2 groups of high risk infants compared with controls; Group A (n = 79), infants weighing less than 2,000 g; Group B (n = 43), infants weighing 2,000 g or more. In univariate analysis, there were no significant antenatal and intrapartum factors associated with cerebral palsy and delayed development in either group. We found that significant postnatal risk factors of CP in group A included sepsis (p = 0.008), BPD (bronchopulmonary dysplasia) (p = 0.028), IVH (intraventricular hemorrhage) (p = 0.042), ventriculomegaly (VM) (p = 0.001) and a longer duration of mechanical ventilation (p = 0.001); while in group B, sepsis (p = 0.047) and neonatal seizure (p = 0.027) were significant risk factors. In multivariate analysis, sepsis in group B was a moderate risk factor of CP (OR (odds ratio) 1.47; 95% CI (confidence interval) 1.02-2.13). In conclusion, neonatal sepsis may contribute to the development of cerebral palsy and delayed development. We suggest that high risk infants who have sepsis should be carefully followed for cerebral palsy and delayed development. The prevention of cerebral palsy may be feasible by decreasing neonatal risk factors such as sepsis during the neonatal period.
