Because of frequency of these perinatal problems, Little postulated that the motor defects resulted directly from difficulties in the birth process. This opinion was widely held for over a century.\par Yet there were early critics, chief among them Sigmund Freud, who speculated that, perinatal difficulties were the result of pre exisisting abnormalities in the foetus rather than the cause of cerebral palsy. \hyperref[b1]{(2)} This study was undertaken to identify and quantitate the major causes of cerebral palsy. The analysis were based on specific disorders that might damage a child's brain. \hyperref[b2]{(3)} The most widely discussed of these disorders is birth asphyxia, with some people claiming that it is a frequent and others could be misleading because it is possible that such disorders are being missed or that insufficient cases have been analysed to find a correlation between them and cerebral palsy. \hyperref[b3]{(4)} The first goal of the present study was to determine how much of a role birth asphyxia has in the genesis of cerebral palsy. A second goal was to quantitate the roles of chronic antenatal hypoxia disorders, congenital disorders, hypoglycemia, oxytocin, toxaemia of pregnancy, mal presentations and other prenatal factors as causes of cerebral palsy. \hyperref[b4]{(5)} II. natal clinic and who is attending the delivery. The same was collected back to us by above mentioned institutes on a fixed date of every month, at the time of monthly review meeting at District head quarter with district Civil Surgeon. Thus from 1 st Feb 1998 to 31 st Jan 2000, a prospective study of 31,804 antenatal mothers were followed up till delivery and 30,080 live births were observed in Sindhudurg district. The total number of live births for the above mentioned period was 32366 as per the vital statistics department of District Health Officer, Sindhudurg, thus un accounting the total live births of 2286, which include deliveries in small dispensaries, other nursing homes of outside the districts and home deliveries. All the children born were seen and examined at every six months intervals to identify cerebral palsy by a systematic and uniform record keeping system. The last neurological examination in the study was conducted in February 2002. Data received from above mentioned institute enlisted for investigation, which became available for analysis in March 2002. Data for antenatal mothers and intranatal mothers compiled by the respective doctors in the stringent protocols updated, we are fairly confident that the protocol data accurately reflect the Cerebral palsy pattern in Sindhudurg district. 1065 children could not be analysed because the mothers delivered at different hospitals other than above mentioned institutes. \section[{Material \& Methods}]{Material \& Methods} \section[{III.}]{III.} \section[{Results}]{Results}\par Analysis were undertaken in a prospective study of 31,804 ante natal mothers who delivered from 1 st Feb 1998 to 31 st Jan 2000.. 246 children were identified as cerebral palsy in 30,080 live births at the end of 3 rd serial examination. Thus 33\% (82/246) victims of Cerebral palsy had birth asphyxia the presumed cause of their cerebral palsy. Of this 26\% (64/246) were cases of quadriplegic cerebral palsy and 7\% (18/246) non quadriplegic, which was attributable to the birth asphyxia. There was quiet a significant association of cerebral palsy with chronic antenatal hypoxic disorders.. Congenital disorders explained about one third of quadriplegic cerebral palsy. Birth asphyxia was not a significant antecedent of non quadriplegic cerebral palsy.\par Finally the findings of the present study under score the importance of making accurate measurements and observations on neonates to avoid mistakes attributing non asphyxial cerebral palsy to birth asphyxia. The overall incidence of cerebral palsy for Sindhudurg Dist. amount to 8.1 per thousand live births over a period of 1998 to 2000. \section[{IV.}]{IV.} \section[{Discussion}]{Discussion}\par Most studies that have attempted to determine if birth asphyxia is a cause of cerebral palsy, have used low Apgar scores and foetal distress to identify asphyxia. Low Apgar scores and foetal distress are often non hypoxic in origin, so their use as indicators of birth asphyxia could misattribute some non asphyxial cerebral palsy to asphyxia. \hyperref[b5]{(6)} We explored this possibility by seeing how many victims of cerebral palsy who had low Apgar scores had a non asphyxial disorder as the basis for their cerebral palsy.\par During the past two decades, dramatic changes in obstetrical and perinatal care have included the increasing availability of foetal heart monitoring and foetal ultrasonography, the establishment of neonatal intensive care units, and the implementation of policies to encourage the regionalization of care and the transport of mothers carrying high-risk foetuses before delivery. If the occurrence of cerebral palsy reflected sub optimal obstetrical care, \hyperref[b5]{(6)} then its prevalence would be expected to decline in response to these remarkable improvements in care, but it has not done so. \hyperref[b7]{(8)} In an attempt to evaluate the relative contribution of all pregnancy-related factors, some epidemiologists have created analytic models that evaluate later events (for example, those occurring during the delivery) \hyperref[b8]{(9)} in the light of earlier events (characteristics of the mother before pregnancy, firsttrimester events, and so on). \hyperref[b9]{(10)} , in the victims of cerebral palsy, characteristic consequences of birth asphyxia were more often the result of non-asphyxial disorders. \hyperref[b10]{(11)} These included muconium in the amniotic fluid, low 10 minute Apgar scores.\par Another perspective is gained by looking at the relative risks of various risk factors for cerebral palsy. Birth asphyxia had the highest relative risk for quadriplegic cerebral palsy. However, the low frequency of birth asphyxia in the population as a whole (82 of 30804) gave birth asphyxia a much smaller role as a cause of quadriplegic cerebral palsy.\par Difference in distribution of factors related to cerebral palsy is highly significant. Since these factors are not mutually exclusive i.e. same case of cerebral palsy can have more than one factor hence chi square test won't make any sense really. A child whose mother has long intervals between menses appears to be at increased risk for cerebral palsy. \hyperref[b11]{(12)} The risk is increased if there has been an unusually short interval (less than three months) or an unusually long interval (more than three years) since the previous pregnancy. \hyperref[b12]{(13)} In addition, mothers of children with cerebral palsy are more likely than other mothers to have a history of spontaneous abortion and stillbirth. These findings indicate that maternal menstrual and obstetrical factors convey information about the risk of cerebral palsy.\par Twins are more likely than singletons to have antenatal peri ventricular leukomalacia \hyperref[b13]{(14)} and cerebral palsy. \hyperref[b14]{(15)} Some of the increased risk of cerebral palsy among twins probably results from their gestational age and intrauterine growth retardation. In one study, an increase in the cesarean-section rate in the delivery of twins was not associated with a reduction in the prevalence of cerebral palsy. \hyperref[b15]{(16)} The greater concordance for cerebral palsy among monozygotic than dizygotic twins also suggests a genetic basis, but it is compatible with placental problems that are unique to monozygotic twins as well.\par Mothers known to have been hyperthyroid or who were prescribed thyroid hormones or estrogen in pregnancy have been found to be at increased risk of giving birth to a child in whom cerebral palsy later develops.\par Non-vertex and face presentations of the foetus are associated with an increased risk of cerebral palsy. \hyperref[b16]{(17)} One interpretation of this fact is that an abnormal presentation does not cause cerebral palsy, but rather may be a marker of preexisting difficulties. According to this hypothesis, foetuses with hypotonia and other abnormalities that will later be manifested as cerebral palsy are less able than others to move into a vertex position.\par The rate of cerebral palsy is 25 to 31 times higher among infants who weigh less than 1500 g at birth than among full-sized newborns. \hyperref[b17]{(18)} Babies whose birth weight is less than 2500 g account for about one third of all babies who later have signs of cerebral palsy. \hyperref[b18]{(19)} As a generalization, the lower the birth weight and the gestational age, the higher the risk of cerebral palsy \hyperref[b19]{(20)} and peri ventricular leukomalacia. Thus it should not be surprising that a number of low birth weight and early gestational age children are associated with peri ventricular leukomalacia, even among babies born prematurely. {\ref (21)} Nelson and Ellen berg wrote in 1986 "Of the . . . mother-infant pairs in the 5 percent with the highest risk (for cerebral palsy) only 208 percent produced a child with cerebral palsy, the false positive rate was thus 97 percent." Epidemiological studies published since then have not provided any reasons to change the impression that our ability to identify modifiable presumed causes of cerebral palsy is limited.\par The burden imposed by cerebral palsy on society has not abated despite recent advances in medical care. Indeed, the increased survival of preterm newborns at risk for the disease has resulted in an increased number of children with cerebral palsy, mainly of the spastic diplegic variety. \hyperref[b20]{(22)} \begin{figure}[htbp] \noindent\textbf{}\includegraphics[]{image-2.png} \caption{\label{fig_0}W}\end{figure} \begin{figure}[htbp] \noindent\textbf{1} \par \begin{longtable}{P{0.2469494479953515\textwidth}P{0.21583381754793723\textwidth}P{0.2558396281231842\textwidth}P{0.04889599070307961\textwidth}P{0.0484020918070889\textwidth}P{0.034079023823358506\textwidth}} Sr. No.\tabcellsep Factor\tabcellsep \tabcellsep No\tabcellsep Incidence\tabcellsep Relative Risk\\ 1\tabcellsep Prematurity\tabcellsep \tabcellsep 148/246\tabcellsep 60.2\%\tabcellsep 54.4\\ 2\tabcellsep Low birth weight\tabcellsep \tabcellsep 136/246\tabcellsep 55.3\%\tabcellsep 52.2\\ 3\tabcellsep \multicolumn{2}{l}{Low Apgar score \& abnormal foetal heart rate}\tabcellsep 86/246\tabcellsep 34.9\%\tabcellsep 10.7\\ 4\tabcellsep IUGR on USG\tabcellsep \tabcellsep 82/246\tabcellsep 33\%\tabcellsep 15.1\\ 5\tabcellsep \multicolumn{2}{l}{History of spontaneous abortion \& stillbirth}\tabcellsep 68/246\tabcellsep 27.06\%\tabcellsep 5.7\\ 6\tabcellsep Toxaemia of pregnancy\tabcellsep \tabcellsep 44/246\tabcellsep 17.9\%\tabcellsep 8.1\\ 7\tabcellsep Forceps application\tabcellsep \tabcellsep 42/246\tabcellsep 17\%\tabcellsep 42.2\\ 8\tabcellsep Muconium stained liquor\tabcellsep \tabcellsep 36/246\tabcellsep 14.7\%\tabcellsep 1.2\\ 9\tabcellsep Malpresentation\tabcellsep \tabcellsep 34/246\tabcellsep 13.9\%\tabcellsep 8.6\\ 10\tabcellsep Oxytocin drip during labour\tabcellsep \tabcellsep 26/246\tabcellsep 10.7\%\tabcellsep 2.5\\ 11\tabcellsep \multicolumn{2}{l}{Unusually long or short interval between pregnancy}\tabcellsep 26/246\tabcellsep 10.6 \%\tabcellsep 1.9\\ 12\tabcellsep Caesarian section\tabcellsep \tabcellsep 16/246\tabcellsep 6.5\%\tabcellsep 0.78\\ 13\tabcellsep \multicolumn{2}{l}{History of taking thyroid / oestrogen hormones}\tabcellsep 16/246\tabcellsep 6.5\%\tabcellsep 43.5\\ 14\tabcellsep Vaccum application\tabcellsep \tabcellsep 12/246\tabcellsep 4.9\%\tabcellsep 29.6\\ 15\tabcellsep Post maturity\tabcellsep \tabcellsep 12/246\tabcellsep 4.9\%\tabcellsep 1.6\\ 16\tabcellsep \multicolumn{2}{l}{Bleeding during 1st , 2nd, 3rd, trimester of pregnancy}\tabcellsep 8/246\tabcellsep 3.3\%\tabcellsep 1.3\\ \multicolumn{2}{l}{The following positive antenatal, intranatal}\tabcellsep \multicolumn{4}{l}{abortion and still births were detected in 27.6\% (68/246).}\\ \multicolumn{2}{l}{findings noticed are suggestive of quite a significant}\tabcellsep \multicolumn{4}{l}{Toxaemia of pregnancy was noted in 17.9\% (44/246)}\\ \multicolumn{2}{l}{association of cerebral palsy with chronic antenatal}\tabcellsep \multicolumn{4}{l}{ante natal mothers.
