Continence, friends, marriage and children in 51 adults with spina bifida / K. M. LAURENCE in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, S35 (December 1975)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > S35 (December 1975) . - p.123-128 Titre : Continence, friends, marriage and children in 51 adults with spina bifida Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : K. M. LAURENCE, Auteur ; Ann BERESFORD, Auteur Année de publication : 1975 Article en page(s) : p.123-128 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Fifty-one adults with spina bifida (28 men and 23 women aged between 17 and 56 years) were interviewed in their own homes in South Wales. 17 were completely continent, 10 were incontinent and the remainder were continent to some degree. Seven of the 51 had no close friends but almost half the total had five or more close friends. Of the 29 who were unmarried, nine had a steady relationship but 13 felt that they were disqualified from such a relationship because of their disabilities. 11 men and 11 women were married and a total of 39 pregnancies had come to term, resulting in 32 normal children, five stillbirths (two with anencephaly) and two children with spina bifida. The risk of having an affected offspring when one of the parents has spina bifida (based on the combined London, Munster and Cardiff series) is 1 in 23. It is suggested that the children now growing up who have received 'total care' will be more handicapped than the adults in this series.

The effects of hydrocephalus on intelligence, visual perception and school attainment / Brian TEW in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, S35 (December 1975)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > S35 (December 1975) . - p.129-134 Titre : The effects of hydrocephalus on intelligence, visual perception and school attainment Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Brian TEW, Auteur ; K. M. LAURENCE, Auteur Année de publication : 1975 Article en page(s) : p.129-134 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A group of 59 children with spina bifida, and a group of matched controls, were given detailed psychological and educational tests at five and seven years. The scores of the control group were similar to the national figures. The scores of the children with spina bifida only (without hydrocephalus) were closest to normal, but still below average. Those with spontaneously arrested hydrocephalus were in the backward range of abilities, and those with shunt-treated hydrocephalus had scores which generally were incompatible with normal levels of intelligence and attainment. Abnormal visuo-perceptual functioning closely correlated with defects in intelligence. The results of the school-attainment tests paralleled the distribution of intelligence but many of the children were found to be functioning below expectation for both age and measured intelligence.
