Abstract:
Selection of birth-traumatical injured newborns for follow-up with special care.--Premature newborns most will be in a special care during infancy and childhood. For all the mature infants this way is to expensive. We publish a compilation of abnormal neurological findings suitable for selecting with high risk of birth traumatical induced brain damage. The risk-group contains about 5% of all mature newborns. This number is small enough for a high expense within the bounds of the common care for mother and child.
