Patient's question:
I heard that premature infants may have cerebral palsy. What is the likelihood of premature infants developing cerebral palsy? What should be paid attention to in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Premature infants are not necessarily affected by cerebral palsy, but they are a high-risk group for it. The incidence rate of cerebral palsy is 2-3%. The incidence rate of cerebral palsy in premature infants is approximately 0.2%. However, if treatment begins after the child is born, in many cases, the child will not have any sequelae. Cerebral palsy in children severely affects the patient's future life, which requires parents to understand the causes of cerebral palsy in children to achieve early prevention. With scientific and standardized treatment, there is full hope for recovery in the future!
