Risk of Cerebral Palsy Forms Associated with Multiple Elevated Proteins ^*

Cerebral Palsy forms	Number of proteins elevated on 2+ days
Cerebral Palsy forms	4+	2-3	1	0
Quadriparesis	1.8 (0.8, 4.0)	1.1 (0.5, 2.7)	2.0 (0.95, 4.0)	1.0
Diparesis	3.0 (1.3, 7.1)	1.3 (0.5, 3.6)	0.8 (0.3, 2.6)	1.0
Hemiparesis	4.2 (1.3, 14)	1.0 (0.2, 5.0)	1.3 (0.3, 5.6)	1.0

Risk ratios (95% confidence intervals) for each form of cerebral palsy associated with elevated concentrations of the number of proteins identified at the top of each column on two separate days a week apart. The nine proteins are IL-6, TNF-α, TNF-R1, IL-8, ICAM-1, E-SEL, CRP, SAA and IGFBP-1. The referent category (identified with an odds ratio of 1.0) consists of all children who did not have any protein with a concentration in the top quartile on any two days. Bold items are significantly elevated at p <.05.
