About this study
Official title: A Descriptive Study of Children With Cerebral Palsy Participating in The Danish Cerebral Palsy Follow-Up Program, With Emphasis on Their Hip Status
The aim is to describe the characteristics of children with cerebral palsy in Denmark. Furthermore, we want to focus on status of the children's hips.
Read the detailed description
Introduction: In 1994, a surveillance programme for children with Cerebral Palsy called the Cerebral Palsy Follow-Up Programme (CPUP) was established in Sweden with the primary purpose of preventing hip dislocation.
Hip dislocation is a serious complication to cerebral palsy, which is very painful for the child and requires complex hip surgery. Research studies have documented the effects of the follow-up program on the prevention of dislocation of the hip in children with CP in Sweden.
In 2003, the region of Southern Denmark introduced the Swedish follow-up program with the Danish name Cerebral Palsy Follow-up Program (CPOP). CPOP has since become a national follow-up program as well as a national clinical quality database in Denmark that includes children with CP aged 0-15 years and children with cerebral palsy-like symptoms aged 0-5 (5). The objective of the CPOP is to prevent complications associated with CP such as hip dislocation, scoliosis and contractures of muscles and joints.
It is now ten years since the first children were included in CPOP. There is no report describing the characteristics of children with cerebral palsy in Denmark and the status of the primary aim of the programme, hip status.
This study includes children diagnosed with CP born 2003 - 2020 and registered in the Danish Cerebral Palsy Follow-up Program.
Variables that will be analyzed are:
- age,
- Gross Motor Function Classification System Level I-V
- cerebral palsy subtype,
- Acetabular index,
- standing function,
- range of motion (hip abduction, hip extension, hip external rotation, hamstrings length)
- Modified Ashworth Scale (hip adduction, hip flexion, knee extension)
- Functional Mobility Scare (FMS)
- Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM)
- hip displacement. Hip displacement is measured using divided into three categories; MP < 33 %, MP > 33-39 % og MP > 40 % with an extra category MP 100% describing children with hip dislocation.
- hip surgery. Categorized as; 1) soft tissue surgery, 2) neurosurgical procedures 3) osseous procedures.
Data will be obtained from the national clinical quality database the Danish Cerebral Palsy Follow-up Program and the Danish National Patient Register.
Variables will be summarize by counts, proportions and/or percentages using graphs and tables. Furthermore, the median and interquartile range will be specified when meaningful. Additionally, we will do non-parametric statistics (significance tests).
Currently, we do not have information about the extent of missing data for the different variables. When we have obtained the data, we will determine whether we have sufficient completeness for these variables to be included and reported in the statistical significance tests.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Characteristics for children with CP in Denmark (time frame: Through study completion, on average 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04398342, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Jul 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
