Vision Abnormalities in Children and Young Adults With Cerebral Palsy; A Systematic Review
Description
Aim: The current study was designed to provide detailed information on the prevalence of ocular abnormalities in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: Four international online scientific databases, including Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar were systemically searched. First, the titles of the articles were evaluated, and if relevant, their abstracts and full texts were reviewed. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist. Results: A total of 147 articles were found in the initial search. After applying the exclusion criteria, 65 articles were chosen for further review, from which 17 articles, comprising a total of 1734 patients with CP ranging in age from birth to 22 years, passed the STROBE quality check and were included in this review. The prevalence of ocular abnormalities in the CP patients reported in the evaluated studies ranged between 34% to 100%, with refractive error, strabismus, and nystagmus exhibiting the greatest overall prevalence at 52%, 48%, and 11%, respectively in this population. Conclusion: Early ocular assessment of children with CP is essential for an accurate diagnosis, personalized rehabilitation and performing early interventions to improve their visual function.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
