Abstract: (54 Views)
Introduction: Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive disorder in the developing brain that causes long-term neurological complications. Diagnosis of risk factors which result to this diagnosis has a crucial role for providing appropriate interventions to optimize the child's potential for growth and development.
Methods: This study was a case-control type, with the statistical population consisting of mothers of children with diagnosed cerebral palsy (case group) and mothers of healthy children (control group) referring to Khatam al-Anbia Clinic in Yazd City, Iran. Sampling was carried out using the census method to fulfill the sample size (100 individuals in each group). All information concerning risk factors was obtained through the researcher via direct interviews from the mothers.
Results: The results of the study showed that the frequency of gestational diabetes in both the case and control groups was not significantly different. Furthermore, the results showed that the frequency distribution of gestational diabetes did not vary significantly based on gender. A significant relationship between gestational diabetes and cerebral palsy related to delivery method, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), the history of the baby's admission in the NICU, and family marriage.
Nonetheless, when combined with other elements like delivery method, NICU admission history, family marital status, and low birth weight, it may elevate the risk of cerebral palsy; conversely, gestational diabetes lowers the risk of IUGR and later cerebral palsy.
Conclusion: According to the results of study, gestational diabetes by itself was not recognized as an effective risk factor in the development of cerebral palsy. Nonetheless, in combination with other factors such as type of delivery, history of NICU admission, family marriage, and low birth weight, it can increase the risk of cerebral palsy, on the other hand, gestational diabetes reduces the risk of IUGR and subsequent cerebral palsy
