Abstract

Objective To investigate the correlation between high risk newborn writhing movements period and infant spasms. Methods A total of 178 high risk infants follow-up in rehabilitation department were accepted the qualitative assessment of general movements respectively in the writhing movements period.Statistical analysis of babies with infant spasms was made after 12-month-age(corrected age of premature infants). Results Cramped-synchronised movements had predictive value for infantile spasms.There was a significant difference in the incidence of infantile spasms between the cramped-synchronised movements and the poor repertoire movements (P<0.01).The predictive validity of infant spasms were as follows:sensitivity 90.9%, specificity 96.8%, positive predictive value 80%, and negative predictive value 98.7%. Conclusion Only the cramped-synchronised movements of writhing movements period have predictive value.Infants with cramped-synchronised movements should be regularly carried out 24 hours of dynamic electroencephalogram.
