Neurodevelopmental outcome after neonatal perforator stroke
AimTo assess outcome after neonatal perforator stroke in the largest cohort to date. MethodSurvivors from a cohort of children diagnosed with neonatal perforator stroke using cranial ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging were eligible for inclusion. Recovery and Recurrence Questionnaire score, presence of cerebral palsy (CP), and crude outcome were assessed, specifically (1) the ability to walk independently, (2) participation in regular education, and (3) the presence of epilepsy. ResultsThirty‐seven patients (20 males, 17 females) aged 3 to 14 years (mean age 8y) were included in the study: 14 with isolated single ...

Risk of stroke among patients with cerebral palsy: a population‐based cohort study
AimThe aim of the study was to investigate the risk of stroke in patients with cerebral palsy (CP), based on nationwide data in Taiwan. MethodThis prospective cohort study was comprised of patients recorded on the Taiwan Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2005 (LHID2005) who had a diagnosis of CP (n=1975) in records between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2007. A comparison group (1:5) drawn from the same database was matched for age and sex (n=9875). Each patient was tracked by data until the development of stroke or the end of 2008. Cox proportional‐hazards regression analysis was used to evaluate the hazard ratios ...

Feeding and swallowing impairment in children with stroke and unilateral cerebral palsy: a systematic review
AimThis systematic review targeted frequency estimates of dysphagia (feeding and swallowing problems), related health outcomes, and caregiver burden in children with stroke or unilateral cerebral palsy (CP).MethodSix electronic databases were searched from their inception to November 2017 along with a manual search of eight relevant journals. Two blinded raters assessed abstracts and full articles for eligibility. Discrepancies were resolved by consensus. Accepted articles were evaluated for quality. Data were extracted and analysed descriptively.ResultsOf 1660 abstracts, five met inclusion criteria, of which three focused...

A common data language for clinical research studies: the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine Cerebral Palsy Common Data Elements Version 1.0 recommendations
To increase the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical research studies, cerebral palsy (CP) specific Common Data Elements (CDEs) were developed through a partnership between the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the American Academy of Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine (AACPDM). International experts reviewed existing NINDS CDEs and tools used in studies of children and young people with CP. CDEs were compiled, subjected to internal review, and posted online for external public comment in September 2016. Guided by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and H...

Determination of interventions for upper extremity tactile impairment in children with cerebral palsy: a systematic review
This study reviewed interventions suitable for treating tactile dysfunction in children with cerebral palsy (CP). MethodA systematic review was conducted of six databases, searched for population: (‘brain injury’ OR ‘cerebral palsy’ OR ‘stroke’ OR ‘cerebrovascular accident’) and intervention: (‘tactile’ OR ‘sensation’). Inclusion criteria were: (1) published after 1950 in English; (2) participants older than 4 years with brain injury; (3) upper limb intervention; and (4) examined tactile registration or perception. ResultsOf 2938 studies identified, 30 met the inclusion criteria. Results from inclu...

Reproducibility of two functional field exercise tests for children with cerebral palsy who self‐propel a manual wheelchair
AimThe aim of this study was to examine the test–retest reproducibility (reliability and agreement) of the 6‐minute push test (6MPT) and the one‐stroke push test (1SPT), and construct validity of the 6MPT in children with cerebral palsy (CP) who self‐propel a manual wheelchair. MethodSeventy‐three children and adolescents with spastic CP (51 males, 22 females; mean age 11y 9mo, SD 3y 7mo, range 4–18y; three unilateral, 70 bilateral) using a manual wheelchair for at least part of the day were recruited from and tested in different rehabilitation settings in the Netherlands and Brazil. Participants were classifie...

Neonatal neuroimaging predicts recruitment of contralesional corticospinal tracts following perinatal brain injury
AimUnilateral perinatal brain injury may result in recruitment of ipsilateral projections originating in the unaffected hemisphere and development of unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP). The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of neonatal neuroimaging following perinatal brain injury for recruitment of ipsilateral corticospinal tracts. MethodNeonatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cranial ultrasound scans of 37 children (20 males, 17 females; median [range] gestational age 36 wks+4 [26+6–42wks+5] and birthweight 2312 g ([770–5230g]) with unilateral perinatal arterial ischaemic stroke (n=23) ...
