SA Birth Defects Register/SA Cerebral Palsy Register
The SA Birth Defects Register is a population-based collection of information on birth defects, including cerebral palsy. The Register collects information on all children born in South Australia on or after 1st January 1986 who have a significant birth defect detected in the first five years of life. It complements and extends the collection of congenital abnormalities detected in the perinatal period and notified by doctors to the Pregnancy Outcome Unit of SA Health. The SA Cerebral Palsy Register is a separate register which has been established to collect more detailed information relating to the diagnosis of cerebral palsy.
