PRIMARY OBJECTIVE of study is to determine whether cerebral outcome is improved if infants born between 24 0/7 and 31 6/7 gestational weeks at birth receive erythropoietin in high dose in the first three days after birth. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES To determine whether early administration of EPO alters the incidence of complications typically associated with preterm birth, i.e. mortality, septicaemia, necrotising enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (oxygen dependency at 36 weeks postmenstrual age), retinopathy, intracranial haemorrhage, white matter disease (periventricular leucomalacia), growth failure, cerebral palsy and handicap at 5 years.

For most children, a clear sign that a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is not working is a painful headache. Because Braden could not communicate his pain to me, I quickly had to learn to look for other symptoms.

PubMed Abstract of Characteristics of Childen with hip displacement in cerebral palsy. Study concluded that hip displacement in CP often occurs already at 2-3 years of age. Range of motion is a poor indicator of hips at risk. Thus early identification and early radiographic examination of children at risk is of great importance. The risk of hip displacement varies according to both CP-subtype and GMFCS
