Abstract: Objective To analyze the relationship between intelligence development and clinical types and high-risk factors in the children with cerebral palsy (CP).Methods 363 CP children were tested using Gesell Developmental Scale (GDS), the relationship between intelligence development delay and clinical types and high-risk factors was analyzed.Results There was a significant relation between asyphxia, pathologic jaundice and intelligence development delay of CP children. The rate of intelligence development delay in athetotic and mixed type CP was significantly higher than the spastic type ( P<0.01).Conclusion Asyphxia and pathologic jaundice are the high-risk factors inducing intelligence development delay, and there is a relationship between intelligence development delay and clinical type of CP.

Key words: cerebral palsy, Gesell Developmental Scale, intelligence, high-risk factor
