Abstract

The decreasing trend from the period 1991-1994 continued, both in children born at term and especially in those born preterm. However, the increase in dyskinetic cerebral palsy in children born at term was a matter of concern. In this group, a perinatal hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy had been present in 71%.
