Causal origins of major mental handicap in the Canadian Maritime provinces / P. Cameron MCQUEEN in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 28-6 (December 1986)
[article]
Titre : Causal origins of major mental handicap in the Canadian Maritime provinces Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : P. Cameron MCQUEEN, Auteur ; Matthew W. SPENCE, Auteur ; Elizabeth J. T. WINSOR, Auteur ; J. Barry GARNER, Auteur ; Linda H. PEREIRA, Auteur Année de publication : 1986 Article en page(s) : p.697-707 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : From a retrospective epidemiological survey, the prevalence of major mental handicap among seven- to 10-year-old children in the Maritime region of Canada in 1980 was estimated to be 36.5 per 10,000 children. Based on information obtained for 221 of the 307 children ascertained by the survey, prenatal origins dominated (58 per cent), followed by perinatal (10 per cent) and postnatal (4 per cent). No specific cause could be determined for 27 per cent of the children, but 41 per cent of this group had epilepsy and/or cerebral palsy in addition to major mental handicap. Significant differences were found in the causal spectrum between the Maritime region of Canada and regions studied in other developed countries. The results of this survey have implications for planning prevention programs, and for epidemiological surveillance and monitoring of adverse reproductive outcomes.
