Decreasing prevalence of cerebral palsy in birth cohorts in South Carolina using Medicaid, disability service, and hospital discharge data, 1996 to 2009
AimSince cross ‐sectional trends of 8‐year‐old cerebral palsy (CP) birth prevalence based on record review were stable from 1985 to 2002 in Metropolitan Atlanta, we examined birth cohort trends using administrative data sets promptly.MethodAmong 755  433 live births from 1996 to 2009 in South Carolina, 2080 received CP diagnosis by age 4 years from linked Medicaid claims with International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes 343.X (contributing 1061 [51%] unique cases), hospital discharge data (57 [3%] unique cases), and Departmen t of Disabilities and Special Needs program (64 [3%] unique cases). Trend...

Feeding and swallowing impairment in children with stroke and unilateral cerebral palsy: a systematic review
AimThis systematic review targeted frequency estimates of dysphagia (feeding and swallowing problems), related health outcomes, and caregiver burden in children with stroke or unilateral cerebral palsy (CP).MethodSix electronic databases were searched from their inception to November 2017 along with a manual search of eight relevant journals. Two blinded raters assessed abstracts and full articles for eligibility. Discrepancies were resolved by consensus. Accepted articles were evaluated for quality. Data were extracted and analysed descriptively.ResultsOf 1660 abstracts, five met inclusion criteria, of which three focused...

Development of hand function during the first year of life in children with unilateral cerebral palsy
AimTo identify developmental trajectories of hand function in infants aged 3 months to 12 months with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP).MethodInfants at high risk of unilateral CP were recruited from 3 months of age from follow ‐up programmes and clinics in Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, and Australia. Measurements on the Hand Assessment for Infants (HAI) were completed until 12 months of age. Group‐based trajectory modelling was used to identify subgroups of infants with similar trajectories of development. Multinomi al logistic regression determined associations between demographic variables and trajectory membership.R...

Efficacy of cannabinoids in paediatric epilepsy
There are hundreds of compounds found in the marijuana plant, each contributing differently to the antiepileptic and psychiatric effects. Cannabidiol (CBD) has the most evidence of antiepileptic efficacy and does not have the psychoactive effects of ∆9‐tetrahydrocannabinol. CBD does not act via cannabinoid receptors and its antiepileptic mechanism of action is unknown. Despite considerable community interest in the use of CBD for paediatric epilepsy, there has been little evidence for its use apart from anecdotal reports, until the last year. T hree randomized, placebo‐controlled, double‐blind trials in Dravet synd...
