The data did not suggest recurrence of cerebral palsy, congenital malformations or reproductive loss in cerebral palsy families. Preterm and small-for-gestational-age birth recurred within both case and control families. Cases and controls did not differ significantly from their siblings in measures of intra-uterine growth, but (with the exception of controls unmatched for both birthweight and gestational age) were born significantly earlier than their siblings. A family history of preterm or small-for-gestational-age birth was found to affect the risk of cerebral palsy by influencing the risk of preterm birth or growth retardation in the index pregnancy.
