We know from research that the risk of death from respiratory disease is 14 times higher for adults with cerebral palsy than for other adults. Respiratory disease is the most common cause of premature death in children and young people with cerebral palsy and one of the main causes of hospitalisation.
The most common cause of morbidity and mortality in children with severe cerebral palsy (CP) is respiratory disease. BREATHE-CP (Better REspiratory and Airway Treatment and HEalth in Cerebral Palsy) is a multidisciplinary research team who have conducted research on the risk factors associated with CP respiratory disease, a systematic review on management and a Delphi study on the development of a consensus for the prevention and management of respiratory disease in CP.
Much information exists about functions of the human placenta and about potential mechanisms by which the placenta may influence human health or disease...
A downward trend in rates of CP in those born extremely preterm was evident over at least three consecutive periods across all three regions.
These findings will facilitate harmonization of data and collaborative research efforts, which are so necessary on account of the heterogeneity and...
Indigenous infants have a higher risk of CP than non-Indigenous infants, especially postneonatal CP.
This reconstructed total population cohort paper investigates the relationship between cerebral palsy & pregnancy induced hypertension.
The Australian Spasticity Assessment Scale complies with the definition of spasticity and is clinically feasible in paediatric settings
This paper is a timely reminder that we must recognise infants at high risk of cerebral palsy earlier using evidence-based assessments.
This article discusses the prenatal factors in singletons with cerebral palsy born at or near term.
