Abstract：
PURPOSE:The etiology of congenital cerebral palsy is unclear. Recent studies have suggested that maternal infection is involved. Indirect, but supportive, evidence for an infectious hypothesis would be provided by the finding of space-time clustering.
METHODS:We analyzed all 906 cases born during the period 1991-2003 using a population-based registry from Northern England. We applied the K-function method for testing global space-time clustering and used residential addresses at the time of birth. The Knox method was used to determine the spatio-temporal range over which global clustering occurred. Tests were repeated using nearest neighbor thresholds to allow for variable population density. Additionally, Kulldorff's scan statistic identified specific space-time clusters.
RESULTS:There was statistically significant evidence of global space-time clustering (p journal_name journal_title authors doi subject pub_date pages issue eissn issn pii journal_volume pub_type
