dc.description.abstractEpidemiologic studies have great value in Cerebral Palsy (CP) where preventive care, early diagnosis and early treatment are considered to be basic in patient management. This study was held to describe the epidemiologic features of 130 CP patients being followed-up by Malatya Inonu University Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department. The age and gender of the patients, mother age and occupation, father age and occupation, family structure, number of brother and sister, social security status, economic status, mother and father relationship, etiologic factors that could be detected were investigated. The mean age of the patients were 51.5±36.6 (9-168) months. There were 79 (60.8%) male and 51 (39.2%) female patients. The types of the disease were spastic in 76.9%, dyskinetic in 11.5%, hypotonic in 3.8% and mixed in 7.7%. While the etiologic factors were prenatal 10.7%, natal 16.3%, postnatal 9.2% and mixed 53.8%. Any risk factor could not be detected in 10% of the patients. Asphyxia was the first (52.3%) among the natal factors. Our results revealed that there were preventable risk factors playing role in the etiology of CP and the development of CP seems to be an indicator of socioeconomic and sociocultural development of the society.en_US
