Cerebral palsy and genomics: an international consortiumAccumulating evidence of the role of genetic variation in CP aetiology suggests that individuals with CP should undergo genomic testing as part of their diagnostic workup

Cerebral palsy and perinatal mortality after pregnancy-induced hypertension across the gestational age spectrum: Observations of a reconstructed total population cohortThis reconstructed total population cohort paper investigates the relationship between cerebral palsy & pregnancy induced hypertension.

A special supplement: Findings from the Australian Cerebral Palsy Register, birth years 1993 to 2006A downward trend in rates of CP in those born extremely preterm was evident over at least three consecutive periods across all three regions.

Profiling the Longitudinal Development of Babbling in Infants with Cerebral Palsy: Validation of the Infant Monitor of Vocal Production (IMP) Using the Stark Assessment of Early Vocal Development-Revised (SAEVD-R)We compared early vocal development in children "at risk" for cerebral palsy (CP) with typically developing (TD) infants aged 6 to 15 months using the SAEVD-R, investigating potential pre-linguistic markers of communication impairment. Additionally, we sought to examine the agreement between the SAEVD-R and IMP, which uses parent report, in identifying departure from typical vocal development in at-risk infants.

Predicting respiratory hospital admissions in young people with cerebral palsy: A 3-year longitudinal study using linked dataEarly identification of oropharyngeal dysphagia and the management of seizures may help prevent serious respiratory illness

Is the search for cerebral palsy 'cures' a reasonable and appropriate goal in the 2020s?In the field of disability research and advocacy, the notion of 'cures' is contentious. Cerebral palsy (CP) is no exception. In this narrative review, we combine perspectives gained during community consultation undertaken for the Australian and New Zealand Cerebral Palsy Strategy, 2020 with those published in the scientific and grey literature to understand whether 'cures for CP' is a reasonable and appropriate goal.

Antecedents of cerebral palsy and perinatal death in term and late preterm singletonsThe odds of total cerebral palsy after potentially asphyxial birth events or inflammation were modestly increased.

Functional outcomes in children and adolescents with neurodisability accessing music therapy: A scoping reviewTo determine the evidence for functional outcomes experienced by a population with paediatric neurodisability (such as acquired brain injury, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, and other neurological disorders), who access music therapy through neurorehabilitation services across the rehabilitation spectrum.
