This research aims to explore the link between neonatal cranial ultrasound abnormalities and the development of cerebral palsy, categorizing it into disabling and nondisabling forms.
Conducted a prospective cohort study with 1105 low birth weight newborns.
Collected follow-up data on 777 survivors at age two.
Employed multivariate logistic regression to identify risk factors for disabling cerebral palsy.
Among risk factors for disabling CP (DCP), PEL/VE showed an OR of 15.4 (95% CI: 7.6-31.1, p<0.001).
For nondisabling CP (NDCP), PEL/VE was significant with an OR of 5.3 (95% CI: 2.2-12.6, p<0.01).
93.4% accurate classification of infants for DCP presence/absence based on ultrasound findings.
