Long-term effect of botulinum toxin A on the hip and spine in cerebral palsy: A national retrospective cohort study in Taiwan.

<h4>Objectives</h4>To investigate the effect of botulinum toxin A (BTA) on the development of hip dislocation and scoliosis, surgical rates for hip and spine, and mortality in cerebral palsy (CP).<h4>Study design</h4>A cohort study was conducted using CP data from a Taiwan Na...

Diagnoses were defined using the International Classification of Diseases codes, 9th revision. Adjusted hazard ratios for outcomes were calculated using Cox regression analysis and adjusted for the following variables: BTA injection, sex, age, severities of CP, comorbidities, location, urbanization level, and level of care.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 1,405 CP children (670 female vs. 735 male), 281 in the BTA group and 1,124 in the controls, were followed-up for a mean of 5 years 4 months. There were no significant differences in the outcomes in both groups, in the incidence rates of hip dislocation and scoliosis, nor in the surgical rates for hip and spine surgery. Mortality rate in the BTA group was 0.49 times lower than that in the controls (p = 0.001). Moderate to severe types of CP had higher incidence rates of hip dislocation, scoliosis, hip surgery, spine surgery, and mortality.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Moderate to severe types of CP had poorer outcomes in all aspects, including a higher risk of hip dislocation, scoliosis, surgical rate for hip and spine, and mortality. Although BTA injection in children with CP proved to not significantly reduce hip dislocation and scoliosis, it is considered safe as an anti-spasticity treatment and may be beneficial for survival.Ching-Yueh LinChi-Hsiang ChungDennis J MatthewsHeng-Yi ChuLiang-Cheng ChenSung-Sen YangWu-Chien ChienPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 16, Iss 7, p e0255143 (2021)
