The Swiss Cerebral Palsy Registry (Swiss-CP-Reg) is a national medical registry for research on cerebral palsy in Switzerland. The Swiss-CP-Reg collects medical information about children diagnosed with cerebral palsy in Switzerland and manages it in a central database. For example, the Swiss-CP-Reg enables in-depth insights into the aetiology, imaging, comorbidities and function levels of affected patients, as well as therapeutic approaches. Likewise, the registry provides a research platform for all professionals in Switzerland with an interest in cerebral palsy and facilitates the recruitment of patients for in-depth studies (nested studies). The Swiss-CP-Reg is linked to the Surveillance Group of Cerebral Palsy in Europe. The Swiss-CP-Reg was founded in 2016 by a group of Swiss paediatricians with a special interest in cerebral palsy. It is located at the Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine in Bern (under the direction of Prof. Claudia Kuehni) and is subject to a steering committee of pediatricians from all regions of Switzerland. Prof. Dr. Christopher Newman is the current president of the steering committee. The Swiss-CP-Reg is funded by Foundation Cerebral.
