| Popis: | Purpose The purpose of the study was to describe the prevalence and patterns of prescription of hormonal contraceptive medications to young women with cerebral palsy (CP) and determine if CP topography or ambulatory status was associated with the type of contraceptive prescribed. Methods Data were extracted by manual chart review for women with CP between the ages of 15 and 25 years who were seen at a tertiary pediatric hospital and a rehabilitation hospital between the years of 2011 and 2013. CP topography was defined as the number and pattern of limbs affected (hemiplegia, diplegia, triplegia, or quadriplegia), and ambulatory status was defined as whether a wheelchair was used for community mobility. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess associations between patient age, CP topography, ambulatory status, and contraceptive prescription. Results Data were collected for 483 women with CP with an average age of 19 years (standard deviation: 3 years). One hundred thirty-one patients (27%) were prescribed hormonal contraceptives. Estrogen–progestin combined oral contraceptives were most frequently prescribed (73%). Prescription of hormonal contraceptives was not associated with CP topography (p = .95) or ambulatory status (p = .44); however, older subjects were more likely to be prescribed hormonal contraceptives (p = .01). There was no association detected between CP topography and contraceptive composition (p = .09) or between ambulatory status and contraceptive composition (p = .06). There was also no association detected between CP topography (p = .18) or ambulatory status (p = .09) and depot medroxyprogesterone acetate prescription. Conclusion Ambulatory status and CP topography were not associated with the types of hormonal contraceptives prescribed in this cohort. |
