Statistical analysis
Descriptive statistics were applied to characterize our sample and are
presented in the text and tables. Kruskal-Wallis H Test was conducted to
examine the differences between referral source, risk factors, GMFCS
level and type of CP (ordinal/categorical data) regarding the first
visit to physiotherapy and age at referral to habilitation services
(continuous data). A significance level of p< 0.05 was
applied, and significant values were adjusted using Bonferroni
correction for multiple tests. All calculations were performed using IBM
SPSS Statistics 24 for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).
