, and . J Gynecol Obstet Biol Reprod (Paris), 32 (1 Suppl): 1S111--1S113 (February 2003)

Abstract

Although per-partum anoxia accounts for only a small part (less than 10\%) of the etiology of cerebral palsy, statistical computations, based on current epidemiological data, show that, when per-partum anoxia is associated with suboptimal care 9 out of 10 cases of cerebral palsy could be attributed to the anoxia.
