Abstract |
The authors report a study involving 90 infants born at term or close to term and who required resuscitation at birth for per-natal fetal distress. These were 16.6 per cent early deaths (between 0 and 7 days), 11.1 per cent of infants lost to follow-up, 11.1 per cent of infants dying from various causes unrelated to their history of neonatal resuscitation and 16.6 per cent of cases considered unevaluable because of incomplete records. In a second section, they compare 40 resuscitated children (44.4 per cent of the initial sample) with 40 controls of the same age from a clinical, psychomotor and scholastic standpoint. They noted no significant difference regarding clinical and psychomotor status. Results concerning scholastic achievement, with the notable role played by socio-economic circumstances, must be interpreted with caution. At any event, results here are identical in general to those reported in other publications devoted to the same subject.
