Cerebral Palsy (CP) Hip Outcomes Project (CHOP): Centre Variability in Baseline Presentation and Management

Description

This transcript presents a detailed overview of a presentation by Maria Juricic regarding the Cerebral Palsy Hip Outcomes Project (CHOP). The project aims to investigate baseline data and treatment variability for children with cerebral palsy and hip displacement across multiple international centers. Juricic emphasizes the need for understanding differences in treatment practices, patient demographics, and management strategies due to their potential impact on study outcomes. The analysis covered 597 participants from 28 sites in 10 countries, showcasing a range of clinical presentations among enrolled patients. The findings suggest significant variability in mean migration percentages across different treatment arms, underscoring the importance of considering center variability in future comparative studies. The presentation is concluded with an acknowledgment of contributions from team members and the corresponding research lab.
