| Summary, etc. | Abstract:<br/><br/>Introduction: Cerebral Palsy is defined as a group of disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fatal or infant brain. It may be associated with conditions such as Intellectual disability, Epilepsy, Ophthalmologic defects, Speech and language disorders, Hearing impairment and such on.<br/>Cerebral palsy usually presents in four patterns (due to damage on specific area of the brain), which are Spastic [damage on cerebral cortex], Dyskinesia [damage on basal ganglia], Ataxia [damage on cerebellum], Mixed combination of two or more types [damage on multiple areas of the brain]. Cerebral palsy also occurs due to various risk factors that may cause abnormal brain development or brain damage. This study aims at evaluating the patterns of cerebral palsy and their common risk factors among paediatric patients at Bugando Medical Centre.<br/><br/>Methodology: This study will use a descriptive quantitative research design where cross-sectional survey was applied while data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Data from 120 individuals will be obtained through random sampling. Data collection and entry will be done using Epicollect5 application where demographic information and relevant clinical data will be obtained. Statistical package for social science software version 20 will be used for data analysis.<br/><br/>Results: Spastic and ataxic cerebral palsy affect most paediatrics which mainly involve the upper limbs in which most risk factor associated with the condition was due to spontaneous delivery, Apgar score of less than 4, few attendance to ANC which significantly associated with the less taking of ferrous sulphate tablets, trauma during pregnancy and haemorrhage during pregnancy.<br/><br/>Conclusion: Spastic cerebral palsy is the most common pattern present in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy and the most common associated risk factor found is pediatric patients born with APGAR Score of less than 4. <br/> |
