Abstract

Background of the Study: The underlying causes of CP are still poorly understood. Several individual risk factors of CP have been identified, but less is known about their interaction and how they might relate to different pathophysiological pathways. The risk factors may be prenatal, perinatal, neonatal, postnatal, or combined. More knowledge regarding risk factors that could be typical for CP in children born at term is needed, because more than half of the children with CP are born at term

Objective of the Study: The objective of the present study was to review and discuss the risk factors for cerebral palsy (CP) in children born at term.

Methodology: We had search articles and abstract which were published from published from 2000 to 2020 were included in this review. Randomized controlled trials and non-randomized controlled trials, systemic review and comparative studies were included in this review of in relation to cerebral palsy risk factors.

Result: From selected 22 relevant research reports Almost studies included in the review shown strong strength of association as causative factor responsible for Cerebral Palsy

Conclusion: From this Review of literature Prenatal, Perinatal and neonatal factors identified as risk factors for cerebral palsy so Preventive strategies for CP in term-born infants are urgently required because infants born at term contribute up to 65% of CP cases and their impairments tend to be more severe than those of children born preterm.
