Values are n (%).
Significant, p < 0.05. p-values refer to Fisher's exact test, for variation across subtypes or presence of ID and to Linear-by-linear Association across GMFCS or CFCS-levels. Percentages are the proportion of participants with the given subtype of CP, GMFCS level, CFCS level or ID, with a certain health condition. Missing data for hypertension at visit (n = 7). CP, cerebral palsy; GMFCS, gross motor function classification system; CFCS, communication function classification system; ID, intellectual disability; IQ, intelligence quotient; pain, recurring or consistent pain; GI, gastrointestinal tract; GI total, includes upper GI, dysphagia, constipation, and miscellaneous GI disorders; upper GI, gastroesophageal reflux and gastritis, psychiatric total includes depression, anxiety and miscellaneous psychiatric disorders.
