Epidemiological and pathological correlates of early neonatal mortality

INTRODUCTION Despite improved intrapartum monitoring of the fetus, the rate of cerebral palsy has not decreased. Many studies now suggest that the majority of children with such disability may sustain damage in utero. Current understanding and identification of antenatal brain injury is poor and individual vulnerability may be important. Specific genotypes such as Apolipoprotein E are disadvantageous to outcome in the context of adult brain injury and may also be important in early development.
