In Reply.— The interest of neonatologists in preventing preterm deliveries is remarkable in the United States. In France, where a policy of prevention was developed nationally in 1971, the first impulse also came from the neonatologists and specifically Alex Minkowski, who challenged the obstetricians to propose a real prevention program. The results of this program have now been published.1 incidence of very low birth weight infants in France in 1972 was 0.8 and in 1981 0.4.2

Low Birth Weight Infants

Objective. To review recent secular trends in the prevalence of cerebral palsy in industrialized countries that have population-based cerebral palsy registries and to estimate such time-trends for the United States, where until recently such registries were absent. Data sources. Recent epidemiologic studies of cerebral palsy published in peer-reviewed journals in English, and US vital data bearing on the principal demographic determinants of cerebral palsy—birth rates, the birth weight distributions, birth weight-specific mortality risk, and cerebral palsy risk among survivors. Results. Most epidemiologic studies from industrialized countries show a rise in the childhood prevalence of cerebral palsy in recent decades, largely because of the increasing contribution of children of low and very low birth weight to its prevalence. The only demographic determinant of cerebral palsy prevalence that is changing rapidly in the United States is survival of low birth weight and very low birth weight infants. Based on the magnitude of change in the survival of low and very low birth weight infants, it is estimated that childhood prevalence of cerebral palsy rose about 20% between 1960 and 1986 in the United States. Conclusion. An apparently unavoidable side effect of the increasing success of newborn intensive care is a moderate rise in the childhood prevalence of cerebral palsy.
