Abstract
- SUMMARY Out of 1081 surviving children weighing 4 lb. or less at birth followed up when they were between 6 and 8 years of age, 102 (9.4 per cent) were found to have a history of one or more fits. Excluding children with cerebral palsy or mental deficiency, both of which conditions are commoner in children of this birth weight than in heavier children, a higher proportion of children had a history of fits than would be expected in the general population. There was some indication of an association between poor foetal growth and fits.
