Epidemiology of CP aims to describe the frequency of the condition in a population and to monitor its changes over time

Exploring quality of life of children with cerebral palsy and intellectual disability: What are the important domains of life?

An estimated half of all children with cerebral palsy also have comorbid intellectual disability, the domains of QOL for these children are not well understood

Somatosensory discrimination intervention improves body position sense and motor performance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy

The intervention group improved in goal performance, proprioception, and bimanual hand use and maintained improvement at 6-mo follow-up.

Congenital anomalies in cerebral palsy: Where to from here?

We have identified that CP registers often do not have quality data on congenital anomalies, necessitating linkage with congenital anomaly registers.

A special supplement: Findings from the Australian Cerebral Palsy Register, birth years 1993 to 2006

A downward trend in rates of CP in those born extremely preterm was evident over at least three consecutive periods across all three regions.

An international survey of cerebral palsy registers and surveillance systems

These findings will facilitate harmonization of data and collaborative research efforts, which are so necessary on account of the heterogeneity and...

Comparing risks of cerebral palsy in births between Australian Indigenous and non-Indigenous mothers

Indigenous infants have a higher risk of CP than non-Indigenous infants, especially postneonatal CP.

Cerebral palsy and perinatal mortality after pregnancy-induced hypertension across the gestational age spectrum: Observations of a reconstructed total population cohort

This reconstructed total population cohort paper investigates the relationship between cerebral palsy & pregnancy induced hypertension.

Interobserver reliability of the Australian Spasticity Assessment Scale (ASAS)

The Australian Spasticity Assessment Scale complies with the definition of spasticity and is clinically feasible in paediatric settings

Can RESPiratory hospital Admissions in children with cerebral palsy be reduced? A feasibility randomised Controlled Trial pilot study protocol (RESP-ACT)

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.
