“…In this study, prematurity, low birth weight, recurrent abortion, neonatal seizures, and jaundice were significantly more common in the CP group than in the control group. This finding is consistent with other reports of significantly higher rates of prematurity and low birth weight in patients with CP 18,31–33…”

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most frequent cause of motor handicap. The present door-to-door survey was conducted in Al-Quseir City, Egypt, to investigate the epidemiology of CP. All inhabitants were screened by three neurologists. Medical and neurological examinations were performed for all residents and suspected cases of CP were confirmed by meticulous neurological assessment, brain magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography, and testing with the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale. Forty-six of 12,788 children aged ≤18 years were found to have CP, yielding a childhood prevalence of 3.6 (95% confidence interval 1.48–2.59) per 1,000 live births. Five adults (aged 19–40 years) among 13,056 inhabitants had CP, giving an adult prevalence of 0.4 (95% confidence interval 0.04–0.72) per 1,000. The risk factors for CP identified in this study were premature birth, low birth weight, neonatal jaundice, neonatal seizures, and recurrent abortion in mothers of children with CP.

“…It must be pointed out in this context that Bejar et al ( 1990 ) have shown that porencephaly may already be present at birth and that it correlates best with one of two circumstances: (1) fetal infection (chorioamnionitis, funisitis) or (2) MZ twins having placental vascular anastomoses. Taylor et al ( 2009 ) surveyed the Australian population of cerebral palsy and found that 3% occurred in twins with one fetus lost. They concluded that this comprises a relatively small risk to the population of cerebral palsy.…”

“…Risk factors and casual pathways for CP was the most prevalent theme for this aim, and included investigation of maternal risk factors [115–120], genetics [121–124], term birth [125–128] and labor and delivery [37,129,130]. Other topics of research included preterm risk factors [131,132], reproductive technology [133,134], multiples [135,136], infant infection, [137] MRI findings and risk factors [138] ethnic/socioeconomic disparities [139] and predicting outcomes [140]. The two other Prevention studies related to predicting outcomes were classified concurrently with the Planning aim (Table S5) [141,142].…”

The aims of this study were to provide a comprehensive summary of the body of research disseminated by Cerebral Palsy (CP) registries and surveillance programs from January 2009 through May 2014 in order to describe the influence their results have on our overall understanding of CP. Secondly, registries/surveillance programs and the work they produced were evaluated and grouped using standardized definitions and classification systems.MethodA systematic review search in PubMed, CINAH and Embase for original articles published from 1 January 2009 to 20 May 2014 originating from or supported by population based CP registries and surveillance programs or population based national registries including CP were included. Articles were grouped by 2009 World CP Registry Congress aim, registry/surveillance program classification, geographical region, and the International Classification of Function, Disability and Health (ICF) domain. Registry variables were assessed using the ICF-CY classification.ResultsLiterature searches returned 177 articles meeting inclusion criteria. The majority (69%) of registry/surveillance program productivity was related to contributions as a Resource for CP Research. Prevention (23%) and Surveillance (22%) articles were other areas of achievement, but fewer articles were published in the areas of Planning (17%) and Raising the Profile of CP (2%). There was a range of registry/surveillance program classifications contributing to this productivity, and representation from multiple areas of the globe, although most of the articles originated in Europe, Australia, and Canada. The domains of the ICF that were primarily covered included body structures and function at the early stages of life. Encouragingly, a variety of CP registry/surveillance program initiatives included additional ICF domains of participation and environmental and personal factors.InterpretationCP registries and surveillance programs, including novel non-traditional ones, have significantly contributed to the understanding of how CP affects individuals, families and society. Moving forward, the global CP registry/surveillance program community should continue to strive for uniformity in CP definitions, variables collected and consistency with international initiatives like the ICF so that databases can be consolidated for research use. Adaptation to new technologies can improve access, reduce cost and facilitate information transfer between registrants, researchers and registries/surveillance programs. Finally, increased efforts in documenting variables of individuals with CP into adulthood should be made in order to expand our understanding of CP across the lifespan.

The risk of cerebral palsy in survivors of multiple pregnancies with cofetal loss or death

Abstract: This study quantifies the contribution of cofetal death to cerebral palsy and suggests that cofetal loss makes a similar, although somewhat smaller, contribution to the risk for cerebral palsy in survivors of multiple pregnancies.
