Details of impaired index cases

	Severity category	Organism	Sex	Type of paresis	IQ WISC-III^UK	Motor impairment score max = 40 (mABC)	Cerebral palsy	Hydrocephalus	Sensorineural hearing loss	Fits	Other impairments
Severity: 1=severe outcome; 2=moderate outcome; 3=mild outcome.
Cerebral palsy: 0=absent; 1=mild (no loss of function); 2=moderate (loss of function); 3=severe (severe loss of function or loss of several functions).
IQ, Intelligence quotient; WISC, Wechsler intelligence scale for children; mABC, movement assessment battery for children; GBS, Group B streptococci; nm, IQ or motor impairment not measured because of child’s disability; Quad, quadriplegia; L, left; R, right; hemi, hemiplegia; MoNo, monoparesis.
