A child with CP resulting from an insult to the developing brain sustained between 29 days and 2 years of age is classified as having post-neonatally acquired CP (PNN-CP).

To evaluate this ascertainment strategy, we (i) ran descriptive statistics to analyse proportional changes of children with PNN-CP on the register and (ii) calculated temporal trends in prevalence per 10,000 live births for birth years 2003-2016, before and after the record ascertainment period.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Of 1051 children with an acquired brain injury, 46 had PNN-CP (2003-2019) and had not previously been included on the register.
