Article Synopsis
- Lymphedema is a chronic condition that is often overlooked in adults with cerebral palsy (CP), prompting a study to compare its occurrence between adults with and without CP over a two-year period.
- The research utilized nationwide claims data from 2011 to 2017 and included analysis of factors such as age, gender, and comorbidities to assess the rates of lymphedema among different groups.
- Results showed that adults with CP had significantly higher rates of lymphedema (5.73 per 100 person-years) compared to those without CP (1.81 per 100 person-years), with men and younger individuals with CP being particularly affected.
