Associations of risk factors and the number of risk factors with the classification, GMFCS level and comorbidities with cerebral palsy: a retrospective study
Most children with CP have apparent risk factors, and the combination of two risk factors is relatively common. Preterm birth/low birth weight is the most common risk factor. The analysis of single risk factors revealed that the risk factors were related to the classification, GMFCS level and comorbidities. This correlation is consistent with the current research. Risk factors were more common in children with severe CP, high GMFCS levels, spastic quadriplegia, and intellectual disability.
