Cerebral Palsy Scientific Journals
Cerebral palsy (CP) is heterogeneous, with different clinical forms, comorbidities, patterns of
brain imaging, causes, and even heterogeneous underlying genetic variants. None are at birth purely because of extreme hypoxia or ischemia. This common myth has impeded causative research. Litigation costs have adverse effects on maternity care with disproportionately high cesarean delivery levels and resulting mortality and maternal morbidity. Despite the 6-fold rise in Cesarean birth, CP levels have remained the same for 50 years. Epidemiological studies have shown that most CP originates before work. Preterm birth, congenital malformations, intrauterine infection, restriction of fetal development, multiple pregnancy, and placental defects are associated with increased risk. Owing to acute intrapartum hypoxia, birth hypoxia can be primary or secondary to pre-existing
pathology and international guidelines help distinguish the few cases of CP.
