Estimating the prevalence of cerebral palsy in Taiwan: A comparison of different case definitions

Prevalence of cerebral palsy in Uganda: a population-based study

“…This study is the first to provide population-based information about children with cerebral palsy in [1][2][3][4] ) and was consistent with some previous estimates from several populations in LMICs, [7][8][9][10] although not with estimates from a study in China. 11 The difference in prevalence between Uganda and HICs might be even larger because we could not adjust for false-negative responses because no estimate of sensitivity is available for the three-stage screening process for cerebral palsy.…”

“…Cerebral palsy has been suggested to be more prevalent in LMICs than in high-income countries (HICs), [6][7][8][9][10] although a study 11 in China reported a slightly lower cerebral palsy prevalence than in HICs. This increased prevalence could be due to risk factors affecting fetal and postnatal brain development (eg, preterm birth, obstetric complications, birth asphyxia, neonatal jaundice, cerebral infections, and convulsions), 12 although these factors are life-threatening in LMICs 13 and thus might actually decrease the incidence of cerebral palsy.…”

Prolonged length of stay for acute hospital admissions as the increasing of age: A nationwide population study for Taiwan's patients with cerebral palsy

“…2e4 In Taiwan, the estimated prevalence of CP varies from 1.3 to 4.1 per 1000 depending on different case definitions. 5 Using a minimum age of 4 years at diagnosis and a diagnosis made by specialists, the mean estimated prevalence of CP is 3.2 per 1000. During growth, children with CP exhibit gradually increasing levels of handicaps; therefore, meeting their physical and mental demands becomes a complex medical concern.…”

“…The estimated prevalence of cerebral palsy worldwide ranges from 0.74 to 3.6 per 1000 live births [11]. In Nigeria, the incidence was 13.1 children per year [12].…”
