Babies Conceived During Winter/Spring May Be at Higher Risk for Cerebral Palsy
TOPLINE:
Cerebral palsy affects 1 to 4 per 1000 live births in the United States. A new cohort study published in JAMA Open Network found children conceived during the winter and spring months appear to have a slightly higher risk for developing CP than those conceived during the summer. Fall months carried about the same or only slightly higher risk of CP than summer months.
