Behavioural and Emotional Symptoms of Preschool Children with Cerebral Palsy: A Population-Based Study
Abstract
AIM: To describe behavioural and emotional symptoms among Icelandic preschool children with cerebral palsy (CP). METHOD: Children with congenital CP, assessed with the Child Behavior Checklist/1½-5 (CBCL/1½-5) and Caregiver-Teacher Report Form (C-TRF), were enrolled in the study. A comparison group was recruited from the general population. Thirty-six children (53% males) with CP were assessed at a mean age of 4 years 11 months (SD 5 mo, range 4-6 y); 26 (72%) had bilateral distribution of symptoms and 32 (89%) had spastic CP. Thirty (83%) were at Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I or II and six at levels III or IV. For comparison, 110 (43% males) and 120 (48% males) children were assessed with the CBCL/1½-5 and the C-TRF respectively, at a mean age of 4 years 6 months (SD 6 mo, range 4-6 y). RESULTS: Sixteen children (48%) with CP had high scores on total problems scale of the CBCL/1½-5 and 20 (65%) on the C-TRF compared with 18% of the comparison group, both on the CBCL/1½-5 and the C-TRF (p<0.001). Children with CP had higher scores on all subscales of the CBCL/1½-5 and the C-TRF, except somatic complaints. Attention difficulties, withdrawn, aggressive behaviour, and anxious/depressed symptoms were most pronounced among children with CP. INTERPRETATION: A large proportion of preschool children with CP have substantial behavioural and emotional difficulties, which need to be addressed in their treatment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
