Abstract
Advances in perinatal care have improved the prognoses of both mothers and neonates; however, cerebral palsy continues to occur. In this study, we examined methods for the intragestational evaluation of the health of infants who later developed cerebral palsy. A retrospective review was conducted on light-for-dates cases among the 2113 cause analysis reports issued by the Japan Obstetric Compensation System between January 2009 and September 2018. In our examination, we determined that non-stress tests and ultrasonic Doppler tests were used to evaluate fetal well-being. Moreover, we observed cases in which additional testing was not performed even when fetal growth restriction (FGR) was identified. Appropriate management of FGR may help reduce the incidence of cerebral palsy.
