Table IV.

The proportion of children with fine motor function corresponding to Bimanual Fine Motor Function (BFMF) levels I–III, according to the presence of APOEε4 allele among children with unilateral CP.

BFMF level	no ε4	ε4	OR (CI)^a	p	OR (CI); p-value for trend test
I	36	10	1
II	34	12	1.27 (0.49–3.32)	0.630	2.60 (1.31–6.88); 0.007
III	5	10	7.20 (1.99–25.95)	0.003

The corresponding odds ratio is given with 95% confidence intervals that the presence of the e4 allele was associated with more severe fine motor impairment, using children without the allele as reference (n=107)

Children with BFMF level I used as reference with an odds ratio of 1. OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
