All variables were compared between cases with a normal prognosis (N = 18) and cases with adverse outcomes (N = 10) and excluded loss to follow-up cases (N = 5). Adverse outcomes included motor dysfunction, speech or motor delay, limb weakness or inflexibility, appendage adduction, and death. Comparisons were made using a chi-square test, with p < 0.05
considered statistically significant.
