Jonsson U, et al. - In this investigation, researchers characterized the prevalence of cerebral palsy (CP), subtype distribution, impairment of motor and intellectual, and epilepsy in adults with CP vs children with CP. Using CP subtype and impairment data from the population-based CP register of western Sweden and population data from Statistics Sweden, they compared surviving adults (n=581; 244 females, 337 males) born between 1959 and 1978, with the same cohort as children (n=723; 307 females, 416 males), and with the most recent cohort, born from 2007 to 2010 (n=205; 84 females, 121 males). Data reported that CP prevalence was 1.14 per 1000 in adults born between 1959 and 1978. Investigators found that the occurrence of impairments varied between CP subtypes. Motor and intellectual impairment, regardless of the subtype, were closely related. Adults have less common spastic tetraplegia and dyskinetic CP than children. Adults are less likely to experience severe motor impairment, intellectual disability, and epilepsy. For adults with CP, data on prevalence, subtype distribution and impairments in children with CP are not relevant. Population-based studies of adults with CP are required.
