简要总结
The aim is to describe the characteristics of children with cerebral palsy in Denmark. Furthermore, we want to focus on status of the children's hips.
详细描述
Introduction: In 1994, a surveillance programme for children with Cerebral Palsy called the Cerebral Palsy Follow-Up Programme (CPUP) was established in Sweden with the primary purpose of preventing hip dislocation.
Hip dislocation is a serious complication to cerebral palsy, which is very painful for the child and requires complex hip surgery. Research studies have documented the effects of the follow-up program on the prevention of dislocation of the hip in children with CP in Sweden.
In 2003, the region of Southern Denmark introduced the Swedish follow-up program with the Danish name Cerebral Palsy Follow-up Program (CPOP). CPOP has since become a national follow-up program as well as a national clinical quality database in Denmark that includes children with CP aged 0-15 years and children with cerebral palsy-like symptoms aged 0-5 (5). The objective of the CPOP is to prevent complications associated with CP such as hip dislocation, scoliosis and contractures of muscles and joints.
It is now ten years since the first children were included in CPOP. There is no report describing the characteristics of children with cerebral palsy in Denmark and the status of the primary aim of the programme, hip status.
This study includes children diagnosed with CP born 2003 - 2020 and registered in the Danish Cerebral Palsy Follow-up Program.
