Evaluation and Treatment of Malnutrition and Associated Gastrointestinal Complications in Children with Cerebral Palsy

Abstract: The majority of children with cerebral palsy (CP) have feeding difficulties and are especially prone to malnutrition. The early involvement of a multidisciplinary team should aim to prevent malnutrition and provide adequate nutritional support. Thorough nutritional assessment, including body composition, should be a prerequisite for the nutritional intervention. As in typically-developed children nutritional support should start with dietary advice and the modification of oral feeding, if safe and acceptable. … Show more

“…The majority of children with cerebral palsy have feeding difficulties and gastrointestinal problems such as oropharyngeal dysfunction, gastroesophageal disease, and constipation. 62 Oral feeding is a complex process requiring a mature sucking ability and an especially mature coordination of sucking with breathing and swallowing. 63 Children with cerebral palsy often have difficulty with sucking.…”

“…66 Besides growth failure, the consequences of malnutrition include decreased cerebral function, impaired immune function, impaired circulation with poor wound healing, and diminished respiratory muscle strength. 62 Oropharyngeal dysphagia is observed in 2 out of 3 children with CP and is known to influence not only their nutritional status, but also their respiratory health and parental stress. 67 Researchers from Oxford in their study found that 20% of parents reported feeding as stressful or unenjoyable, with increased rates of stress with increasing gross motor impairment severity.…”

“…Kronik hastalıkların çocukların büyümesini olumsuz olarak etkilediği belirtilmektedir (23). Kronik hastalıkların büyüme ve gelişme üzerindeki etkilerini önlemek için çocuğun beslenmesi değerlendirilir ve çocuğa özgü bireysel beslenme planı yapılır (22,23). Örneğin, kronik böbrek yetmezliği olan çocukların kalorisi yüksek besin alması sağlanırken protein alımı azaltılır (24).…”
