Cerebral Palsy: Development of Life Expectancy Algorithm Calculator

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a complex disorder primarily affecting motor control and coordination. It represents the severe end of a spectrum of developmental motor disorders, including developmental coordination disorder (DCD) [1]. The neurobiological underpinnings of CP involve brain dysfunction that impacts motor control. This dysfunction can result from numerous factors, including prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal brain injuries [1]. Managing CP across the lifespan involves addressing comorbidities, optimizing functional abilities, and providing comprehensive care. This comprehensive approach aims to improve the quality of life for individuals with CP [1]. Life expectancy for individuals with CP has increased due to advancements in medical care and public health.
