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

How low can we go? Recognizing infants at high risk of cerebral palsy earlier

This paper is a timely reminder that we must recognise infants at high risk of cerebral palsy earlier using evidence-based assessments.

Prenatal factors in singletons with cerebral palsy born at or near term

This article discusses the prenatal factors in singletons with cerebral palsy born at or near term.

Does aetiology of neonatal encephalopathy and hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy influence the outcome of treatment?

Neonatal encephalopathy, a clinical syndrome affecting term-born and late preterm newborn infants, increases the risk of perinatal death...

A systematic review of risk factors for cerebral palsy in children born at term in developed countries

The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review in order to identify the risk factors for cerebral palsy (CP) in children born at term.
