Specific peripartum and neonatal factors, such as birth weight > 9 lbs and Horner syndrome, are significantly associated with persistent neonatal brachial plexus palsy at 1 year.
Wilson et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) (n=382). Peripartum and neonatal factors was evaluated on Persistent NBPP at 1 year. Cephalic presentation, labor induction, birth weight >9 lbs, and Horner syndrome significantly increased the odds of persistent neonatal brachial plexus palsy at 1 year (overall persistence 85%).
