[The effect of intrapartum and neonatal asphyxia on the cognitive and behavioral development of children].
The present study includes 4 groups of subjects: 30 children with a history of intrapartum asphyxia, 30 children with a history of mild neonatal asphyxia, 15 children with a history of severe but transitory neonatal asphyxia, and 30 children who had normal deliveries. Psychological and neuropsychological assessments were done at 6 years of age. There are no significant difference among 4 groups in IQ, social maturity age, most neuropsychological functions and incidence of attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity. 4 test scores in Halstead-Reitan Battery infer to visual-motor functioning showed backwardness in asphyxiated groups. Behavior problems are more frequently seen in the asphyxiated groups than in the control group.
