Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 46-7 (July 2016) . - p.2285-2291 Titre : Retrospective Descriptive Study of Cerebral Palsy in Nepal Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ritesh THAPA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2285-2291 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Cerebral palsy (CP)  Demography  CP types  Sex ratio  Ethnicity  Age  distribution Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is very little data pertaining to cerebral palsy (CP) from Nepal. In this retrospective study it was observed that dyskinetic CP was seen in 29 % and the sex ratio of males to females was two in the study population of children with CP. Both of these are much higher than data from developed countries. Hence, further randomized cross-sectional community based study is recommended to enquire into this pattern. Data regarding early identification was encouraging as majority of the cases (56 %) were diagnosed before 4 years of age. There is a stark necessity of early screening and rehabilitation program with provision for follow-up for the affected children, which must also be accessible to the disadvantaged and marginalized groups in Nepal.

Symptom Recognition and Diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy in Nepal / Ritesh THAPA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-6 (June 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 47-6 (June 2017) . - p.1739-1748 Titre : Symptom Recognition and Diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy in Nepal Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ritesh THAPA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1739-1748 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Cerebral palsy (CP)  Diagnosis  Delay in diagnosis  Symptom recognition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common movement disorder of childhood. Parents recognized the symptoms of CP at mean age of 13 months. However there was a mean delay of going to a doctor by 23 months and the mean age of diagnosis was 5½ years. Less than half of the CP children were diagnosed by a pediatrician and were receiving treatment methods with weak evidence base of efficacy. Delay in recognition of symptoms and help seeking due to lack of awareness and access to proper medical care and prevalent false beliefs were the leading reason for late diagnosis of CP in Nepal and thus children loose valuable time for intervention in their early developmental stage.
