RESUMO

AIM: To explore the perspectives of cerebral palsy (CP) experts on access to healthcare and an analysis of socioeconomic and environmental determinants impacting young individuals with CP in Europe. METHOD: Cross-sectional survey designed by a convenience multi-disciplinary panel of invited experts and completed by clinicians, researchers and opinions leaders in the field of CP. RESULTS: Fifty-eight experts (response rate 85 %) from 39 regions in 26 European countries completed the survey. All countries provide care and financing through public systems. Long waiting lists were reported (mean 3 mo, range 1-12 mo), depending on type of specialist care and place of residence. Although diagnostic and therapeutic services were available, access within countries/regions were unevenly distributed, with children receiving better care than adults. Most experts reported a lack of transition services, although improvement is expected (62 % of responses). Hip and malnutrition surveillance, as well as educational and recreational activities were variably available. Public transportation, accessible roads and pavements, and urban green spaces for persons with disabilities were more available in larger cities. Overall, only 57 % of responders felt that most patients had adequate access to healthcare. CONCLUSION: The survey of CP experts' perspectives from the majority of European countries indicates discrepancies in the availability and accessibility of healthcare needed by people with CP and nonuniform implementation of policies across Europe.

RESUMO

AIM: This paper introduces the Surveillance of Cerebral Palsy in Europe (SCPE) classification of events contributing to postneonatally acquired cerebral palsy, presents its interrater reliability, and describes the cases identified in the SCPE database. METHOD: The development of the classification, based on literature review and expert discussions, resulted in six main categories and 19 subcategories. The first chronological event designated as the primary event was mainly reported. Interrater reliability was assessed through online exercise providing 24 clinical vignettes representing single/complex pathways. Percent agreement and Gwet's AC1 index of reliability were estimated. Primary events were described using data of 221 children born between 2008 and 2012. RESULTS: Thirty-nine professionals (21 registries) participated in the reliability exercise. Substantial overall agreement was reached (0.75), with some contrast between complex (0.48, moderate agreement) and single events involved (0.89, almost perfect). The distribution of primary events showed that 32.1% were infections (category A), 23.1% head injuries (B), 15.4% related to surgery or medical interventions (C), 13.1% cerebrovascular accidents (D), 9.1% hypoxic brain damaging events of other origins (E), and 7.2% miscellaneous (F). INTERPRETATION: This classification allows all the events involved to be recorded while consistently reporting the primary event, and may be used in different settings. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: A standardized classification enables the description of the events contributing to postneonatal cerebral palsy (CP). The first chronological event in complex pathway leading to CP is coded. Category choice and coding of the primary event identify preventable situations. The detailed 2-level classification is easy to use in various settings. Substantial overall interrater reliability shows that main categories can be consistently differentiated.

RESUMO

A low Apgar score is associated with increased risk of cerebral palsy (CP) in term infants, while such association remains controversial in preterm neonates. The objective of this study was to assess association between 5-minute Apgar scores and CP in different subcategories of preterm birth based on gestational age. The Slovenian National Perinatal Information System was used to identify singleton children without congenital malformations live-born at 22 to 37 weeks of gestation between 2002 and 2010. Data were linked to the Slovenian Registry of Cerebral Palsy in children born between 2002 and 2010. CP was diagnosed at a minimum of 5 years of age. Of 11,924 children included, 241 (2.0%) died before discharge and 153 (1.3%) were diagnosed with CP. Five-minute Apgar scores <7 were significantly associated with higher risk of death or CP (compared with scores ≥9) at all preterm gestations. CP alone was associated with Apgar scores <7 only at moderately or late preterm gestation (32-36 weeks) (adjusted relative risk [aRR]: 8.27; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.87-36.64 for scores 0-4 and aRR: 4.96; 95% CI 1.89-13.06 for scores 5-6). In conclusion, a low 5-minute Apgar score was associated with combined outcome of neonatal death or CP in all preterm births, while in surviving preterm infants at >32 weeks a low 5-minute Apgar score was associated with CP.
