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.
