Aims: To describe longitudinal motor development in children treated with therapeutic- hypothermia (TH) due to neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) and to explore motor functioning in early adolescence.
Material And Methods: Children treated with TH due to HIE during 2007-2009, in Stockholm, participated in a prospective follow-up study. Motor development was assessed on four occasions, reported as percentiles and at mean ages.
Objective: We aimed to describe long-term outcomes following hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) treated with therapeutic hypothermia (TH).
Design: Prospective, population-based observational study.
Setting: Tertiary level neonatal intensive care units and neonatal outpatient clinic, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden.

Aim: Although cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common congenital infection, existing research has not provided us with a full picture of how this can affect children in the future. The aim of this case-control study was to evaluate disabilities in a well-defined group of children with congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, who had been fitted with cochlear implants because of severe hearing impairment.
Methods: A multidisciplinary team assessed 26 children with congenital CMV infection for balance difficulties, neurodevelopmental disabilities and language and visual impairment.
Purpose: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a disorder affecting the peripheral nerves. The purpose of this study was to describe disability and health status in patients with CIDP in Sweden.
Methods: All 22 adult patients with CIDP at the Karolinska University Hospital, Huddinge were invited to participate.
