ÖzetAmaç: Bu makalenin amacı İstanbul 'daki serebral palsi (SP) olgularının demografik özellikleri, klinik tipi, risk faktörleri ve bazı klinik özelliklerini içeren epidemiyolojik özelliklerini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Eğitim, araştırma ve üniversite hastanelerinden oluşan 11 merkezin katıldığı çok merkezli ve retrospektif bir çalışmadır. 2005 ve 2007 yılları arasında eğitim, araştırma ya da üniversite hastanelerinde kayıt edilen SP olgularının demografik ve klinik verileri, İstanbul Serebral Palsi Çalışma Grubunca toplandı. Bulgular: Yaş ortalamaları 7,27±4,63 (2-18) yıl olan 730 olgu çalışmaya alındı. Olguların 429'u (%58,8) erkek, 301'i (%41,2) kızdı. Klinik tiplendirmede, spastik tip %91, karma tip %3,6, diskinetik tip %3,2 ve ataksik tip % 0,7 olarak bulundu. Olguların %51,9'una yaşamlarının ilk 6 ayı içinde tanı konmuştu, %24,6'sı 2. altı ay; %23,5 'i ise 12. aydan sonra tanı almıştı. Yüzde 32 olguda konuşma bozukluğu, %23,1'inde mental gerilik ve %20,9'unda epilepsi mevcuttu. AbstractObjective: The objective of this study is to identify epidemiological characteristics of patients with cerebral palsy (CP) in Istanbul, including demographic information, clinical types, risk factors, and some clinical features. Material and Methods: This is a retrospective and multicenter study, with the participation of 11 training and university hospitals in Istanbul. Demographic and clinical data of patients with CP presenting to university and training hospitals in Istanbul between 2005 and 2007 were recorded. Data were collected by the Istanbul Cerebral Palsy Study Group (ICPSG). Results: A total of 730 patients with a mean age of 7.27±4.63 (2-18 years) were enrolled into the study; 429 (58.8%) of the patients were male and 301 (41.2%) were female. During clinical typing, it was seen that 91% of the patients were spastic, 3.6% was mixed, 3.2% was dyskinetic, and 0.7% was ataxic. Also, 51.9 % of the patients had a diagnosis of CP during 0-6 months of age, 24.6% had the diagnosis

“…With the development and use of neonatal intensive care units throughout Europe and the associated decrease in neonatal mortality in most countries during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, more of these vulnerable babies are surviving (McCormick 1993). There was some evidence of a rise in CP rates among low-birthweight babies during the 1970s and 1980s (Hagberg et al 1989, Pharoah et al 1990, Topp et al 1997a) but the trends in recent years have been less clear (Meberg and Broch 1995, Hagberg et al 1996, Pharoah et al 1998). There has also been concern that the level of severity of disability may be increasing among children with CP (Stanley 1992, Uldall et al 1995, Hagberg et al 1996, Pharoah et al 1996.…”

“…Some European centres have been established for a long time, e.g. Ireland (Cussen et al 1978), Denmark (Glenting 1982), and Sweden (Hagberg et al 1975), as well as in Norway (Meberg 1990), and the UK (Jarvis et al 1985, Pharoah 1987. In other places, such as France and Italy, the registers started more recently , Di Lallo et al 1996.…”

Although cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of motor deficiency in young children, it occurs in only 2 to 3 per 1000 live births. In order to monitor prevalence rates, especially within subgroups (birthweight, clinical type), it is necessary to study large populations. A network of CP surveys and registers was formed in 14 centres in eight countries across Europe. Differences in prevalence rates of CP in the centres prior to any work on harmonization of data are reported. The subsequent process to standardize the definition of CP, inclusion/exclusion criteria, classification, and description of children with CP is outlined. The consensus that was reached on these issues will make it possible to monitor trends in CP rate, to provide a framework for collaborative research, and a basis for services planning among European countries.
