Cardiometabolic Morbidity in Adults With Cerebral Palsy and Spina Bifida.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of, and adjusted hazards for, cardiometabolic morbidities among adults with and without cerebral palsy or spina bifida.

Methods

Privately insured beneficiaries were included if they had an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) diagnostic code for cerebral palsy or spina bifida (n = 15,302). Adults without cerebral palsy or spina bifida were also included (n = 1,935,480). Incidence estimates of common cardiometabolic morbidities were compared at 4 years of enrollment. Survival models were used to quantify unadjusted and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for incident cardiometabolic morbidities.

Results

Adults living with cerebral palsy or spina bifida had a hi
