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

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

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.
Research
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.

The Use of Serious Gaming to Improve Sensorimotor Function and Motivation in People with Cerebral Palsy: A Systematic ReviewThe aim of this systematic review was to review the evidence for serious gaming interventions in improving sensorimotor function in children and adults with cerebral palsy (CP). Seven databases were searched with terms related to serious gaming and CP.
Research
Chronic Pain in Young People with Cerebral Palsy: Activity Limitations and Coping StrategiesTo describe the effect of chronic pain on the activities of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy, to describe coping strategies, and to examine associations between effect of pain on activities, coping strategies, and level of pain.

Implementation of an Early Communication Intervention for Young Children with Cerebral Palsy Using Single-Subject Research DesignThe implementation of an intervention protocol aimed at increasing vocal complexity in three pre-linguistic children with cerebral palsy (two males, starting age 15 months, and one female, starting age 16 months) was evaluated utilising a repeated ABA case series design. The study progressed until the children were 36 months of age. Weekly probes with trained and untrained items were administered across each of three intervention blocks.

Cerebral palsy: EpidemiologyCerebral palsy (CP) is a lifelong physical disability, resulting from maldevelopment or damage to the developing brain. All children with CP have a disorder of movement and posture, but this is often accompanied by disorders of intellect, sensation, behaviour and epilepsy. Long-standing CP registers and surveillance systems estimate the prevalence of CP as approximately 2 per 1000 live births; however variations are seen over time and in different regions of the world.
