Syracuse Medical Malpractice Lawyers Bottar Law, PLLC HomeDoes A Low APGAR Score Mean That My Baby With Develop Cerebral Palsy?
No. Many children are born with low APGAR scores and cerebral palsy affects only 2-3 babies out of every 1,000 births.
However, a low APGAR score may mean that your child suffered a brain injury during labor and delivery that could result in cerebral palsy. Generally, a cerebral palsy diagnosis is not made until age 2-3, following 18-36 months of medical care for "global developmental delays."
