Feeding problems and malnutrition associated factors in a North African sample of multidisabled children with cerebral palsy.

Background: In European and North American countries, stunting and malnutrition are common in children with cerebral palsy (CP), especially those with multiple disabilities. The extent of this problem in children with CP in North African countries is still unknown.

Aims: To evaluate feeding problems and growth in a sample of North African multidisabled children with CP and to determine the factors associated with malnutrition in this population.
