Abstract

Abstract : (Abstracted from BJOG 2017;124:1738–1745) Cerebral palsy (CP) is an early-onset nonprogressive movement disorder of cerebral origin, and preterm birth (<37 weeks' gestation) is one of the strongest predictors of CP. There exists a gap in knowledge on whether the clinical profile of children with CP born late/postterm differs from those born early/full term.
