Cerebral Palsy Registry Update

Dr. Noritz, a developmental pediatrician and internal medicine physician, will provide an overview of the current CPRN cerebral palsy registry.
The Cerebral Palsy Research Network was founded out of a need identified by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to establish a national registry for cerebral palsy (CP). Unlike countries with socialized medicine such as Australia or Sweden, surveillance of CP at a national level in the United States is exceedingly difficult and prohibitively expensive. The CP Research Network chose to build a “clinical” registry rather than a surveillance registry with the main difference being a focus on children and adults who were treated for CP rather than only whether they were born with CP. A clinical registry is an essential tool for planning research for CP, providing preliminary data to increase research funding success, and improving the treatments and outcomes for people with the condition.
