The birth prevalence of moderately or severe newborn encephalopathy was 3.8/100 term live births. The neonatal fatality was 9.1%. The risk of newborn encephalopathy increased with increased maternal age and decreased with increasing parity. There was an increased risk associated with having a mother who was unemployed (odds ratio 3.60), an unskilled manual worker (3.84), or a housewife (2.48). Other risk factors from before contraception were not having private health insurance (3.46), a family history of seizures (2.55), a family history of neurological disease (2.73), and infertility treatment (4.43). Risk factors during pregnancy were maternal thyroid disease (9l.7), pre-eclampsia (6.30), moderate or severe bleeding (3.57), a clinically diagnosed viral illness (2.97, not having drunk alcohol (2.91) and placenta described at delivery as abnormal (2.07). Factors related to the baby were birth weight adjusted for gestational age between the third and ninth centile or below the third centile. The risk relation with gestational age was J shaped with 38 and 39 weeks having the lowest risk. |
