Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is a totally new 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 pathways * 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.
