Abstract

Background: Although the primary impairment involved in Cerebral palsy (CP) is motor function, malnutrition is also common. However, there is a lack of tool recommendations for early malnutrition risk screening in children with CP, and the means of nutritional intervention for children with CP are also limited.

Methods: This study systematically searched the literature about clinical nutrition related content of cerebral palsy in Pubmed, MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library in Jan 2024 and by hand searching, and we checked reference lists and citations to identify additional studies. Search terms include cerebral palsy, children, diagnosis, prediction, malnutrition, nutritional risk screening, nutritional assessment, nutritional support. Additions are marked in red in the modified version.

Results: The timing of diagnosis of CP has been moving forward, and some new diagnostic tools have been developed. Nutritional status is correlated with regional economic level, but there is still a malnutrition rate of nearly 30 % in developed countries. Severe restrictions in terms of gross motor function, swallowing dysfunction, feeding difficulties, cognitive impairment, and insufficient energy intake are common risk factors for malnutrition in children with CP. Z-score should be calculated in combination with measurement indicators in the assessment of physical development of children with CP. The nutritional outcomes of children with CP can be improved by various means, including diversified a Nutrition Support Team (NST) interventions.

Conclusions: The incidence of malnutrition in children with CP is high, which needs to be paid more attention. More effective malnutrition risk screening tools need to be developed for children with CP to guide the implementation of comprehensive and personalized nutritional interventions and improve malnutrient-related outcomes.

期刊介绍： Clinical Nutrition ESPEN is an electronic-only journal and is an official publication of the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN). Nutrition and nutritional care have gained wide clinical and scientific interest during the past decades. The increasing knowledge of metabolic disturbances and nutritional assessment in chronic and acute diseases has stimulated rapid advances in design, development and clinical application of nutritional support. The aims of ESPEN are to encourage the rapid diffusion of knowledge and its application in the field of clinical nutrition and metabolism. Published bimonthly, Clinical Nutrition ESPEN focuses on publishing articles on the relationship between nutrition and disease in the setting of basic science and clinical practice. Clinical Nutrition ESPEN is available to all members of ESPEN and to all subscribers of Clinical Nutrition.
