Prevalence of childhood cerebral palsy in six provinces in China

目的调查中国1～6岁小儿脑性瘫痪(简称脑瘫)的患病现状. 方法 1997年5月～1998年12月在中国江苏等6个省及自治区对1～6岁小儿脑性瘫痪现况进行了整群抽样调查. 结果共调查1～6岁儿童1 047 327名,诊断脑瘫患儿2 009例,患病率为1.92‰,男性的患病率为2.24‰, 女性为1.55‰;孕周小于37周的早产儿患病率为35.13‰, 足月儿患病率为1.58‰,过期产儿的患病率为2.1‰. 结论本组资料脑瘫的患病率与世界各国家及地区相比处于较低范围,这可能与中国早产儿发生率低和早产儿存活率低有关;同时脑瘫患病率还与地区、性别、年龄、民族、出生体重及孕周有关.To investigate the prevalence of childhood cerebral palsy (CP) in China.A cross sectional survey was carried out among 1047327 children aged 1 approximately 6 years old in six provinces of China during May 1997 approximately December 1998.The crude prevalence of CP for children aged 1 approximately 6 years old was 1.92 per thousand; in addition, prevalences of CP were also reported for factors such as sex, age, ethic group, birth weight, gestational age, and area.Prevalence of CP in China is at the low range among the world, which may be due to low prevalence and low survival rate of premature newborn in China. The prevalence of cp is associated with areas, sex, age, ethnic group, birth weight, and gestational age.国家科技攻关项目PubMed中文核心期刊要目总览(PKU)中国科学引文数据库(CSCD)0201220-12238
