Objective: To identify factors during the neonatal period that are associated with the subsequent development of cerebral palsy (CP).

Design: Case-control study.

Setting: Ten hospitals in Victoria, Australia.

Antenatal and intrapartum antecedents of cerebral palsy: a case-control study.

Aim: To identify antenatal and intrapartum factors contributing to the aetiology of cerebral palsy (CP).

Methods: A case-control study using moderate/severe cases of cerebral palsy identified from the Victorian Cerebral Palsy Register and two controls per case identified through the Victorian Perinatal Data Collection Unit.

Results: A number of previously identified risk factors for CP were confirmed in our data.
