To quantify the global prevalence and disability burden of cerebral palsy and developmental intellectual disability among children younger than 5 years using the GBD-WHO Rehabilitation Database 2019.
Extracted and evaluated global epidemiologic data on cerebral palsy and developmental intellectual disability in children younger than 5 years from the GBD-WHO Rehabilitation Database 2019.
Assessed health loss measured through years lived with disability (YLDs) across global regions, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries.
Cerebral palsy and developmental intellectual disability exhibit high prevalence globally among children younger than 5 years.
Both conditions contribute to substantial years lived with disability (YLDs) in early childhood, emphasizing an acute need for targeted interventions in low- and middle-income countries.
