OBJECTIVE: To delineate the perinatal risk factors of neurodevelopmental disabilities in very preterm birth applying logistic regression analysis. DESIGN: This prospective, geographically defined collaborative study was carried out in the Franche-Comt? region of France. Subjects: From October 1, 1990 to September 30, 1992, perinatal and follow-up data were collected on 203 consecutive live-born singleton or twin non-malformed infants with strictly ascertained gestational ages of less than 33 weeks. Main Outcome Measure: The rate of cerebral palsy and/or severe mental retardation as diagnosed by a family physician or pediatrician with a screening-skill test performed at 2 years of age. RESULTS: 167/171 (98\%) survivors were evaluated. Twenty-two of the 167 examined infants (13\%) showed signs of cerebral palsy, and 10 of these had severe cerebral palsy or mental retardation. Risk factors for disabilities were selected by a multivariate approach: premature rupture of membranes >/=48 h (OR 4.3, 95\% CI 1.6-11.8); monochorionic twin placentation (OR 6.0, 95\% CI 1.7-21.3), and respiratory distress syndrome (OR 2.8, 95\% CI 1.1-7.1). CONCLUSION: This geographically defined prospective study gives epidemiological data and highly suggests that there is a link between prenatal events (premature rupture of membranes, monochorionic twin placentation), postnatal events (respiratory distress syndrome), and neurological disabilities in former preterm infants.
