| Popis: | Dr. Knight's letter questions the predictive value of the neonatal neurologic examination. It states that the neurofindings of Nelson and Ellenberg (Pediatrics 64:225, 1979) indicate a high false-positive rate for the relation between an abnormal neonatal neurologic examination and subsequent neurologic abnormality (ie, "cerebral palsy"). Because of this, Dr Knight indicates that "many would interpret the data as questioning the predictive value of the neonatal neurologic examination." I would disagree with such an interpretation of the Nelson and Ellenberg data for several reasons. |
