“…The 102 published clinical studies about children with SNI fall into seven clinical topics. Gastroesophageal reflux and feeding tubes ( n = 57, 56%) was the most common topic, with subtopics of gastroesophageal reflux ( n = 7), 7,42–44,102–104 gastrostomy tube outcomes ( n = 24), 9,39,45,46,56–65,81–84,105–110 and antireflux procedures ( n = 26) 8,47–55,66–71,85,86,111–118 . Other topics included aspiration and respiratory issues ( n = 13, 13%) 72,73,87–93,119–122 ; symptoms, palliative care, and quality of life ( n = 12, 12%) 38,41,74–77,94–97,123,124 ; growth and endocrinology ( n = 10, 10%) 78,98,99,125–131 ; caregivers and care burden ( n = 7, 7%) 10,37,40,79,80,100,132 ; other ( n = 2, 2%) 101,133 ; and musculoskeletal ( n = 1, 1%) 134 .…”

Objective: The aim of this study is to extrapolate the clinical features of children with severe neurologic impairment (SNI) based on the functional characteristics and comorbidities described in published studies.Methods: Four databases were searched. We included studies that describe clinical features of a group of children with SNI (≥20 subjects <19 years of age with >1 neurologic diagnosis and severe functional limitation) using data from caregivers, medical charts, or prospective collection. Studies that were not written in English were excluded. We extracted data about functional characteristics, comorbidities, and study topics. Results:We included 102 studies, spanning 5 continents over 43 years, using 41 distinct terms for SNI. The terms SNI and neurologic impairment (NI) were used in 59 studies (58%). Most studies (n = 81, 79%) described ≥3 types of functional

“…The children who had enteral feeds or other supplemental nutrition displayed higher concentrations of micronutrients. 20 Many studies have reported benefits from enteral nutrition in children with CP, [21][22][23][24][25][26][27] mainly finding improvements in weight z-scores with minimal changes noted in height z-scores. Despite these reports, micronutrient deficiencies have also been identified in children with CP who were chronically tube-fed, and these have resulted in osteopenia.…”

Micronutrient adequacy and morbidity: paucity of information in children with cerebral palsy

2010

A literature review was conducted to investigate the status of vitamins and minerals in children with cerebral palsy and the implications of various deficiencies on health outcomes. Children with cerebral palsy commonly have feeding difficulties, which significantly impact their growth, general health, and life expectancy. Current nutritional literature focuses on energy expenditure, with little information available on other parameters, such as micronutrient status. Due to the paucity of micronutrient research in these children, the impacts of deficiencies and benefits in other populations have been considered. The role of micronutrients in maintaining cellular homeostasis throughout all body systems highlights a need for future research and monitoring of their levels, particularly in vulnerable populations with well-documented incidence of undernutrition.
