RESULTS
Thirty-nine children (21 girls) met the inclusion criteria (Table 1),
giving a prevalence of CP in Uppsala County of 1.4 cases per 1000 or an
incidence of 5.4 cases per year. One child, who was missed early and not
considered representative for the sample, was excluded from the
statistical analysis.
Two-thirds of the children were born at term (n=22) (Table 1), and the
mean gestational age was 35 weeks (min-max 23-41). The neonatologist was
the primary referral source (n=22), while the remaining children were
referred from the neuropediatrician (n=7) or the CHS (n=9). Of the 22
infants referred from the neonatologist, 17 were girls.
