Prevalence and characteristics of children with cerebral palsy according to socioeconomic status of areas of residence in a French department

Résumé

Aim To study the association between the socioeconomic environment of area of residence and prevalence and characteristics of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Method Data on 8-year-old children with CP born in 2000–2011 (n = 252) were extracted from a regional population-based register in France. The European Deprivation Index (EDI), available at census block level, characterised socioeconomic deprivation in the child’s area of residence at age of registration. The prevalence of CP was estimated in each group of census units defined by EDI distribution tertiles in the general population. The association between deprivation level and CP severity was assessed according to term/preterm status. Results CP prevalence differed between deprivation risk groups showing a J -shaped form with the prevalence in the most deprived tertile (T3) being the highest but not significantly different of the prevalence in the least deprived one (T1). However, the prevalence in the medium deprivation tertile (T2) was significantly lower than that in the most deprived one with a prevalence risk ratio (PRR) of: PRR T2/T3 = 0.63 95% CI [0.44–0.89]). Prevalences of CP with associated intellectual disability (ID) and CP with inability to walk were significantly higher in the most deprived tertile compared to the least deprived one (respectively PRR T3/T1 = 1.86 95% CI [1.19–2.92] and PRR T3/T1 = 1.90 95% CI [1.07–3.37]). Compared to children living in the least deprived areas, children with CP born preterm living in the most deprived areas had more severe forms of motor impairment, such as an inability to walk or a combination of an inability to walk and moderate to severe impairment of bimanual function. They also had more associated intellectual disability. No associations were observed among term-born children. Interpretation A significant association between area deprivation group and CP severity was observed among preterm children but not among term-born children.
