The prevalence of cerebral palsy (CP) ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 per 1000 live births with little or no variation among western nations, although data from the Americas are sparse. Time trends in overall CP prevalence for the past 40 years are most notable for their stability, but a modest increase in prevalence probably occurred in the last decades of the twentieth century. European countries have pioneered the development of CP registries, and as a result, CP is a condition that is enumerated regularly in several parts of the world. The United States has no CP registries, although ongoing surveillance of CP, along with other developmental disabilities, is performed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in metropolitan Atlanta.
脑瘫（CP）的患病率为每1000例活产中有1.5至2.5例，西方国家之间几乎没有差异，尽管来自美洲的数据较少。过去40年中，脑瘫总体患病率的时间趋势最显著的特点是其稳定性，但在20世纪的最后几十年中患病率可能略有上升。欧洲国家率先建立了脑瘫登记处，因此，在世界上的几个地区都定期对脑瘫进行统计。美国没有脑瘫登记处，不过疾病控制与预防中心正在对亚特兰大大都市地区的脑瘫以及其他发育障碍进行监测。
