“…During growth and development there are variations in the rates of maturation of different aspects of neural pathways [16,[34][35][36]. Pathological conditions occurring in the maturing human brain may cause retarded maturation of myelin sheath [37]. CRF might be such a pathological condition.…”

Children with chronic renal failure (CRF) show developmental, intellectual and motor disturbances. It is questionable if an early start of renal replacement therapy may prevent or delay these disturbances. We studied the neurological and intellectual development of children < 5 years suffering from CRF (creatinine clearance < 20% of normal) prospectively, over a period of 3 years. As part of the neurological study, brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) were recorded. Measurements were performed in a group of 22 children every 6 months. In 18 of these children CRF was present from birth. Sufficient data were available for analysis in 19 (BAEP) and 22 (SSEP), respectively. A delay of peak I of BAEP gave indications for peripheral conduction disturbances, possibly due to cochlear dysfunction. Brainstem conduction was normal. There were no differences between the children treated conservatively (n = 9) and those treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (n = 10). In children < 2.5 years SSEP showed a delayed thalamocortical conduction, which was not observed in older children. This might indicate a delayed myelination in young children with CRF. No differences were found between the children treated conservatively (n = 10) and those treated with CAPD (n = 12).

“…The motor disability seemed more severe in the neonatal encephalopathy group with a higher proportion of children unable to walk independently at 5 years (OR 4-0; 95% CI 1.8 to 8-8). There was an increased frequency among those with neonatal encephalopathy of associated impairments; severe visual impairment (OR 3 0; 95% CI 1-0 to 8&6), severe intellectual delay (OR 2-5; 95% CI 1 1 to 5.7), and swallowing difficulty (OR 341; 95% CI 1V4 to [6][7][8][9].…”

“…Pregnancy which continued after 41 completed weeks' was more frequent in the neonatal encephalopathy group (OR 3-5; 95% CI IP0 to 1 2@1) ( (20) 18 (44) 3-1 (1-4 to [6][7][8][9] changes on the cardiotocograph in both the first (OR 10-2; 95% CI 2-9 to 36 4) and second (OR 7-2; 95% CI 2 1 to 24 4) stage on cardiotocograph in the neonatal encephalopathy group. The duration of ominous changes for the total labour was longer in the neonatal encephalopathy group than in the group without neonatal encephalopathy (median duration without neonatal encephalopathy 38 minutes, with neonatal encephalopathy 100 minutes; Mann-Whitney, p=0 003).…”
