A total of 57 (40\%) of the children had normal neurological development, 52 (37\%) had minor neurological disorders, 27 (19\%) were diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and 6 (4\%) were mentally retarded (IQ <71) with no motor disability. The rate of cerebral palsy was identical with the figure at age 2 y, but the rate of minor neurological disorders increased from 25\% to 37\%. Compared with international rates, we found a higher rate of cerebral palsy, but the incidence of minor neurological disorders corresponded with figures published previously.
