Birth prevalence of cerebral palsy (CP) is declining in high‐income countries, to as low as 1.4 per 1000 live births in the most recent international reports. This represents a 35% reduction in birth prevalence over a 15‐year period. This reduction is underpinned by a heightened focus of attention towards all aspects of CP, including: increased awareness, better data collection, development of national networks and registries, an explosion of research in basic science, perinatal care, neonatal neurology, public health, early detection, and targeted early intervention. Quick uptake of evidence into practice has ensued and overall improvements in clinical care occurred concurrently. It is anticipated that with continued partnerships with families, ongoing research driving further clinical improvement and vice versa, birth prevalence and severity of CP will further decline and the focus will shift to prevention in low‐ and middle‐income countries.

以预防脑瘫为目的的围产期保健

在最近的国际报告中，高收入国家脑瘫 (CP) 的出生率正在下降，低至每 1000 名活产婴儿中有 1.4 人。这意味着在 15 年期间出生率降低了 35%。这种减少得益于对 CP 各个方面的高度关注，包括：提高认识、更好地收集数据、发展国家网络和登记处、基础科学、围产期保健、新生儿神经病学、公共卫生、早期发现，并有针对性的早期干预。随之而来的是将证据迅速应用于实践，同时临床护理的整体改善也随之发生。预计随着与家庭的持续合作，正在进行的研究推动进一步的临床改善，反之亦然，
