Quality of obstetric care and occurrence of fetal asphyxia and cerebral palsy. Is there a relationship?
Abstract
Whether a relationship exists between the quality of obstetric care and poor fetal outcome, notably cerebral palsy, remains uncertain. We herein report a study which suggests that substandard obstetric care bears little relationship to the etiology of cerebral palsy. In none of our 34 cases of cerebral palsy was there any recognized delay on the physician's part in reacting to evidence of fetal asphyxia.
