Proposed Project
The Natural History of Spina Bifida in
Children Pilot Project—New—National
Center on Birth Defects and
Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Spina Bifida (SB) is one of the most
common birth defects, affecting
approximately 2 per 10,000 live births
in the United States annually. To date,
there are no U.S. population-based
cohort studies or programs on the
natural history of SB. This is of
importance because persons with SB
often experience condition-specific
difficulties and secondary conditions
that detrimentally affect several aspects
of their lives. The long-term purpose of
this project is to increase the knowledge
about the natural history of Spina Bifida

by prospectively studying children who
were born with this potentially
disabling condition. We estimate to
enroll approximately 40 parents with a
child with Spina Bifida ages 3-, 4-, or 5years of age, and 20 of the children of
these forty parents. The data to be
collected will relate to medical concerns
prevalent among individuals with Spina
Bifida in the areas of neurology/
neurosurgery, urology, and orthopedics;
development and learning; nutrition
and physical growth; mobility and
functioning; general health; and family
demographics. Families interested in
participating can choose between
development, the health status, and the
onset of complications among children
with SB in order that effective
interventions may be identified that will
ameliorate the course of this complex,
multi-system condition. Long-term
results will help determine if it would
be beneficial to systematically screen
children with Spina Bifida for certain
health related, educational and
developmental problems that these
children are at an increased risk of
experiencing and at what age such a
screening should be performed.
There will be no cost to the
respondents other than their time.
participating in a phone survey (no
more than 40 minutes) or an in-person
assessment (no more than 2 hrs). For
families who participate in the inperson assessment, (estimated to be
twenty of the forty families); the child
will also be invited to participate in a
child-appropriate assessment. Data will
also be collected on the actual
recruitment process. Results from the
project will be evaluated and
disseminated to provide guidance for
states that are interested in following
children with Spina Bifida
prospectively. The proposed project is
the initial step to document the
