[Prognostic value of various pathological symptoms in the neonatal period]

The authors analysed the prognostic significance of pathological signs observed in the neonatal life period evaluating the level of psychomotor development and the neurological status of 216 children aged 36 months in whom signs had been observed in the neonatal period suggestive of central nervous system injury. The studies demonstrated a statistically significant correlation between the level of psychomotor development and the neurological status of children at that age and the occurrence of pathological signs in the neonatal period. Thic correlation was particularly evident in children with low birth weight.
