Abstract
To define the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and rehabilitation status of children with cerebral palsy (CP) in Sumba Island, Indonesia. A community-based key informant method survey among children (aged <18y) with CP was conducted between March and August 2017. Children with suspected CP underwent detailed neurodevelopmental assessment by a multidisciplinary medical team. Socio-demographic characteristics, aetiology, motor type, motor severity, associated impairments, educational, and rehabilitation status were documented. There were 130 children with clinically confirmed CP. The mean age at assessment was 8 years 11 months and 43.8% (n=57) of the children were female. The mean age at CP diagnosis was 6 years 5 months. Of these children, 46.9% (n=61) had post-neonatally acquired CP, most frequently because of vaccine-preventable infectious encephalopathy (73.8%, n=45). In total, 80.8% (n=105) had a predominantly spastic motor type of CP and 83.8% (n=109) were classified in Gross Motor Functional Classification System levels III to V. A total of 77.7% (n=101) had at least one associated impairment (speech 77.5%, intellectual 29.2%, visual 13.8%, hearing 20.0%, and epilepsy 13.5%). And 66.2% (n=86) had never received reh...Continue Reading
