OBJECTIVE: To apply objective criteria for the identification of acute intrapartum hypoxia in a cohort of cerebral palsy cases and to identify other cerebral palsy–related pathologies. METHODS: A cohort of all 235 neonates with cerebral palsy from a single Australian tertiary care center born between 1986 and 2003. Cases were identified from the South Australian Cerebral Palsy Register. Maternal and pediatric case notes were audited with application of the 2003 American College of Obstetricians…

Application of Criteria Developed by the Task Force on Neonatal Encephalopathy and Cerebral Palsy to Acutely Asphyxiated Neonates

Fetuses that underwent a sudden and sustained deterioration of the fetal heart rate and that subsequently were found to have cerebral palsy demonstrated characteristics consistent with criteria developed by the Task Force on Neonatal Encephalopathy and Cerebral Palsy for intrapartum asphyxial injury.

Application of criteria developed by the Task Force on Neonatal Encephalopathy and Cerebral Palsy to acutely asphyxiated neonates.

In a case group of term fetuses undergoing a sudden and sustained deterioration of the fetal heart rate and subsequently developing cerebral palsy, there is a high prevalence of the criteria developed by the Task Force on Neonatal Encephalopathy and Cerebral Palsy, with 92% or greater sensitivity for the essential criteria among cases.

The incidence of asphyxia in term and near-term infants is higher than that reported in developed countries and Apgar score at 10 minutes and need for adrenaline remain important factors in predicting poor outcome in infants with asphyxia.

Of the 30 cases, the three identified in the follow-up study were the only ones whose impairment could be attributed to birth asphyxia in a full-term birth, and was associated with 10% [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.1, 26.5] of all cases of cerebral palsy and with 20% (95% CI 4.3, 48.1) of the 15 cases of cortex palsy in children born at term.

Abruptio placentae, Apgar scores >7 at 1 min and pathological non‐stress test (reason for delivery) were significant risk factors of CP only in the moderately preterm and hemiplegic groups, whereas fever before delivery was a significant risk factor in the very pre term and spastic diplegic Groups.

It is suggested that chorioamnionitis is an independent risk factor for CP among term and near-term infants.
