Abstract

To determine if cerebral palsy (CP) rates were lower in the active treatment group compared with the control group, as improved survival rates of very low-birth-weight infants are postulated to be the cause of the increased incidence of CP in preterm infants, to evaluate relationships between multiple prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal variables and CP to understand better its antecedents in very low-birth-weight infants in the era of surfactant replacement therapy, and to determine the usefulness of a cranial ultrasonographic (US) scan in predicting CP. Inception cohort follow-up study as part of a randomized controlled trial of low-dose indomethacin sodium for the prevention of intraventricular hemorrhage. Neonatal intensive care units at 3 medical centers. Infants with birth weights between 600 and 1250 g were eligible, and 505 infants were enrolled in the original study. Of these infants, 440 (87%) survived; neurologic examinations were completed on 381 infants (86%) at 36 months corrected age. Statistical analyses were performed to identify the antecedents of CP, including the results of frequent cranial US scans obtained throughout the newborn period. Cerebral palsy was found in 36 (9.5%) of 381 infants at 36 months corre...Continue Reading
