| Popis: | Objective: To analyze the incidence of neurodevelopmental disabilities in triplets and to find out possible connection between the outcome and perinatal events. Design: Retrospective cohort study of 94 triplets and their outcome at 24-144 months of age correlated with gestational age, birth weight, pregnancy complications, early neonatal period, neonatal cranial ultrasound, period of birth (1985-1995, 1996-2000) and type of antenatal care. Results: Sixty-two triplets are healthy, 15 suffer cerebral palsy (CP) and 17 minimal cerebral dysfunction (MCD). Adverse outcome correlates significantly with prematurity, low birth weight and maternal age. In multivariate analysis, both cerebral palsy and minor disabilities correlate significantly with early neonatal complications, neonatal cranial ultrasound with later CP (p |
