Data were collected on sociodemographic characteristics, aetiological risk factors, clinical characteristics, rehabilitation, and educational status. Registry data on aetiological risk factors were compared with available national prevalence rates in Suriname. Descriptive statistics were reported.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Between August 2018 and March 2020, 82 children with CP (mean [SD] age 5\u2009years 10\u2009months [3\u2009years 10\u2009months]) attending the Academic Hospital Paramaribo were registered in the SUR\u2010CPR. The mean (SD) age at diagnosis was 5\u2009years 5\u2009months (4\u2009years 1\u2009month). Spastic CP was predominant in 90.8% of children and 58.8% were classified in Gross Motor Function Classification System levels III to V. Overall, 43.9% had preterm birth compared with 13.9% reported nationally (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and 61.6% had birth\u2010related complications compared with 15% reported nationally (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Additionally, 39.1% had birth asphyxia and 23.2% had early feeding difficulties. Sixty\u2010two percent were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit, 54.0% of whom required ventilation. Most children (82.5%) had CP acquired pre\u2010 or perinatally and 17.5% had CP acquired postneonatally. Seventeen percent had never received any rehabilitation services, and 31.9% of the school\u2010aged children were not enrolled in any education system.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Interpretation:<\/jats:bold> The high burden of known aetiological risk factors, delayed diagnosis, and severe functional impairment among children with CP registered at the Academic Hospital Paramaribo is concerning.
