“…The fact that a child has experienced a complication or risk factor does not insure that a negative outcome will ensue. Indeed, the current findings concur with research that has demonstrated greater relationships between perinatal events and poor outcomes when perinatal information is considered collectively (Batchelor, Dean, Gray and Wenck, 1991 ;Gattan, Arceneaux, Dean and Anderson, 1994;Gray, Dean, Strom, Wheeler and Brockley, 1989). However, risk factors and complications rarely appear in isolation; rather, complications generally occur in conjunction with other events.…”

“…The MPS has been found to distinguish significantly between normal children and those with developmental disability (Gray, Dean, Strom, Wheeler and Brockley, 1989), (attentional disorders (McIntosh, Mulkins and Dean 1995)), autism (Wilkerson, 1992), and emotional/behavioral disorders (Batchelor, Dean, Gray and Wenck, 1991). Other research has shown the MPS to predict both developmental functioning (Gattan, Arceneaux, Dean and Anderson, 1994) and school achievement of children with learning disabilities (Gray, Davis, McCoy, Dean and Joy, 1992).…”

This study examined perinatal complications and risk factors as predictors of learning disabilities in schoolaged children. Specifically, the Maternal Perinatal Scale (MPS) was used to distinguish between normal children and those classified as learning disabled (LD) by their school system. One hundred and eight participants, 54 in each classification, were selected from a small Midwestern area. A stepwise discriminant analysis demonstrated that all four factors of the MPS contribute significantly to the prediction. A linear composite of MPS factor scores correctly classified 93.5% of all participants, with only two normal and five LD children being misclassified. Repeating the results with other clinical populations, these results support the use of the MPS in assessing the perinatal history. More importantly, these data are consistent with the notion that perinatal complications increase the likelihood of future impairment. Moreover, the MPS shows promise as a screening device for use in early preventative programs which diminish the negative psychological, sociological, and neuropsychological outcomes for children with neurological disorders.

“…The correlation between cerebral palsy and perinatal asphyxia has been questioned. Cerebral palsy occurs in 2.5 of 1000 births, with 10-25% of cases of cerebral palsy associated with perinatal asphyxia (27)(28)(29). The young adults in this study had been selected on being without neurological impairment at a young age.…”
