In North America, the prevalence estimate is 39 infants per 100,000 live births. Open spina bifida (SB), also known as myelomeningocele, remains the most complex congenital abnormality of the central nervous system compatible with long term survival; this recognized complexity gives rise to emerging comorbidities and interventions. For example, increasing autism spectrum disorder rates have been reported among individuals with SB utilizing a 31,220 subject population-based birth cohort. Along with new clinical observations, telecommunication platforms such as Zoom\u00ae have evolved as clinical and investigational tools. Historically, society meetings, research conferences, and journals have provided opportunities for professional development and dissemination of up-to-date materials. The Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine (JPRM) has arisen as an open-access global platform for the dissemination of SB-related inquiry. The journal has also highlighted the research presented at the Spina Bifida Association\u2019s previous Spina Bifida World Congresses. At the last congress, which was held in 2017, twenty-three countries were represented; this number is expected to grow by the next convocation in 2023. This congress will provide an opportunity for health care professionals from around the globe to present a broad array of research topics and build collaborations. Concurrently, the JPRM will continue as an open-access platform for SB advocacy, care, education, and investigation, across our fast changing world for the international SB community well into the future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/prm-220126","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,20]],"date-time":"2022-12-20T13:00:49Z","timestamp":1671541249000},"page":"545-547","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["From
