简要总结
Cerebral palsy is associated with myriad of feeding problems, like drooling, inadequate lip closure, swallowing, difficulties, and prolonged feeding.
About 53.5 % of children with cerebral policy had feeding problems, according to recent systematic review and meta analysis and those with higher GMFCS level were associated with increased difficulties in feeding.
Feeding problems are associated with increased risk of dehydration, malnutrition, aspiration, pneumonia, and poor quality of life.
in the study, the prevalence of feeding problems in children with cerebral policy between 18 and 60 months of age and their severity levels will be studied using EDACS.
in the study children with cerebral palsy between 18 and 16 months of age will be studied for the prevalence of feeding problems, and if present, the children will be provided appropriate, dietary counselling and interventions as per unit protocol.
