Adults with cerebral palsy have higher prevalence of fracture compared with adults without cerebral palsy independent of osteoporosis and cardiometabolic diseases

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research Aug 08, 2019

Whitney DG, et al. - In comparison with adults without cerebral palsy (CP), researchers determined the prevalence of fracture among a large sample of private insured adults with CP. They used diagnostic codes to identify 18- to 64-year-olds with and without CP and any fracture consisting of osteoporotic pathological fracture, as well as any type of fracture of the head/neck, thoracic, lumbar/pelvis, upper extremity, and lower extremity regions. They included 5,555 adults with and 5.5 million adults without CP. Compared with adults without CP, CP adults had a higher prevalence of all-cause fracture and fracture of the head/neck, thoracic, lumbar/pelvis, upper extremity, and lower extremity regions. According to this cross-sectional study, young and middle-aged adults with CP have a high prevalence of all-cause fracture vs adults without CP, present even after cardiometabolic diseases and osteoporosis were taken into account.
