To estimate the prevalence of cerebral palsy at 2 years of age among children born very preterm, according to gestational age, infant gender, plurality, and neonatal cranial ultrasound abnormalities.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>METHODS. All infants born between 22 and 32 weeks of gestation in 9 regions of France in 1997 were included in this prospective, population-based, cohort study. The main outcome measure was cerebral palsy prevalence at 2 years. Of the 2364 survivors eligible for follow-up evaluation, 1954 (83%) were assessed at 2 years of age.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>RESULTS. Among the 1954 children assessed at 2 years, 8.2% had cerebral palsy. Bilateral spastic cerebral palsy, hemiplegia, and monoplegia accounted for 72%, 9%, and 10% of cases, respectively. Fifty percent of the children with cerebral palsy walked independently at the age of 2, 31% were unable to walk but could sit independently, and 19% could not sit (unable to maintain head and trunk control). The prevalence of cerebral palsy was 20% at 24 to 26 weeks of gestation, compared with 4% at 32 weeks. On the basis of ultrasound findings in the neonatal period, we found that 17% of children with isolated grade III intraventricular hemorrhage and 25% of children with white matter damage (ie, ventricular dilation, persistent echodensities, or cystic periventricular leukomalacia) had cerebral palsy, compared with 4% of children with normal ultrasound scans.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>CONCLUSIONS. Despite recent improvements in survival rates, cerebral palsy remains highly prevalent among very preterm children. Severe cranial ultrasound abnormalities predict motor disability strongly, but one third of infants with cerebral palsy had no ultrasound abnormalities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2005-0091","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,1]],"date-time":"2006-03-01T19:23:43Z","timestamp":1141241023000},"page":"828-835","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":336,"title":["Cerebral Palsy Among Very Preterm Children in Relation to Gestational Age and Neonatal Ultrasound Abnormalities: The EPIPAGE Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"117","author":[{"given":"Pierre-Yves","family":"Ancel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"INSERM U149 Research Unit on Perinatal Health and Women's Health, Villejuif, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florence","family":"Livinec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"INSERM U149 Research Unit on Perinatal Health and Women's Health, Villejuif, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Be\u0301atrice","family":"Larroque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"INSERM U149 Research Unit on Perinatal Health and Women's Health, Villejuif, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ste\u0301phane","family":"Marret","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ho\u0302pital Charles Nicolle, Rouen, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Arnaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Unit on Epidemiology and Public Health, INSERM U558, Toulouse, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ve\u0301ronique","family":"Pierrat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ho\u0302pital Jeanne de Flandre, Lille, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michel","family":"Dehan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ho\u0302pital Antoine Be\u0301cle\u0300re, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sylvie","family":"N\u2032Guyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ho\u0302pital Me\u0300re-Enfant, Nantes, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benoi\u0302t","family":"Escande","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ho\u0302pital Hautepierre, Strasbourg, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antoine","family":"Burguet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"INSERM U149 Research Unit on Perinatal Health and Women's Health, Villejuif, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ge\u0301rard","family":"Thiriez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ho\u0302pital Saint-Jacques, Besanc\u0327on, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Charles","family":"Picaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CHU Montpellier, Montpellier, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monique","family":"Andre\u0301","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ho\u0302pital Universitaire, Nancy, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ge\u0301rard","family":"Bre\u0301art","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"INSERM U149 Research Unit on Perinatal Health and Women's Health, Villejuif, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monique","family":"Kaminski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"INSERM U149 Research Unit on Perinatal Health and Women's Health, Villejuif, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"and the EPIPAGE Study Group","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021120820113462000_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hagberg B, Hagberg G, Beckung E, Uvebrandt P.
