This is a clinical text about the commonest physical disability - the cerebral palsies. It follows up on the authors' earlier work The Epidemiology of the Cerebral Palsies, and its focus is still on epidemiology. In Cerebral Palsies: Epidemiology and Causal Pathways the authors offer:
Guidance on how best to study causes
Advice on how to use the massive amount of information available internationally
Novel ways to collect and analyse data
A complete review of all published data on trends in the cerebral palsies
New ways of thinking about causal pathways in the cerebral palsies which suggest possible new prevention pathway
A chapter devoted to systematic management of the cerebral palsies.
This is a timely update and an essential guide to good epidemiological research into cerebral palsies and related areas.
