简要总结
This was a randomized controlled study including 80 infants with cerebral palsy and dysphagia. The Participants were evenly divided into the observation group (with intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding, n=40) and the control group (with persistent nasogastric tube feeding , n=40). Nutritional status and physical development, condition of dysphagia, and pneumonia before and after 3-month treatment were compared.
详细描述
The efficacy of persistent nasogastric tube feeding is not sufficiently satisfactory, necessitating the exploration for a more effective and safe nutrition support approach. Therefore, this study reports the clinical effect of intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding compared to persistent nasogastric tube feeding in the infants with cerebral palsy and dysphagia who received systemic therapy.

结局指标
主要结局
The Oral Motor Assessment Scale
时间窗: day 1 and day 90
The Oral Motor Assessment Scale was a reliable and accurate scale. It consists of seven items compromising oral-motor skills. The assessment was conducted with the child in comfortable supported sitting with the head neutral position. The caregiver was allowed to feed the child one of the following foods normally: fed with a spoon soft food as yoghurt, a solid food as cookie or fed a liquid food with a glass, with/without a straw. The assessment primarily focused on feeding with 5 types of food (mash, semi-solids, solids, cracker, and liquid bottle/cup). Throughout the assessment, the examiner didn't interfere with the way the caregiver fed the child but just observed and scored each item of feeding process including chewing, sucking and swallowing. Each item of The Oral Motor Assessment Scale takes 30 second to be scored as passive (0), sub-functional (1), semi-functional (2) and functional (3). The final score was positively proportional to swallowing function.
