    Author: De Nisi G, Ghersini L.
    Journal: Pediatr Med Chir; 1992; 14(3-6 Suppl):45-7. PubMed ID: 1534167.
    Abstract:
    A survey on perinatal handicaps must follow some standards: a) homogeneous population; b) univoc method of evaluation; c) 7 years follow-up; d) case control study. From ethnic and geographical point of view, Trentino is in a favorable condition; all pathologic cases come in the only 3th Level Center (Trento), and all neurological evaluations were made from the same specialist up to primary school. Now case control survey is starting. In district of Trento neonates without congenital malformations have risk for severe residual handicaps of 0.08%; under 1500 g the risk is 6.5% while in the group 1500-2499 the risk is 0.53%. A better prevention program during pregnancy and in Intensive Care Unity may reduce the severe outcome in the 1500-2499 group of neonates.
