[Multicentre longitudinal study of the nutritional status and swallowing difficulties in children with severe neurological diseases].

CONCLUSIONS: These patients showed lower weight and height than children without neurological impairment. However, with a correct follow-up they remain stable with an adequate body composition. It is important to proactively investigate the presence of oropharyngeal dysphagia, especially in those with greater motor impairment, as it occurs very frequently and an adequate diagnosis can improve clinical evolution and prevent complications.
