Introduction: Motor compromise characterizes cerebral palsy (CP), and is often associated with intellectual disability (ID). Standardized classification systems have been developed to describe the functions of people with CP. The aim was to functionally characterize children and adolescents aged 0 to 18 years with CP in Argentina and to investigate the association between motor compromise (GMFCS), ID and functional classifications.

Latin American Cerebral Palsy Register (LATAM-CPR): study protocol to develop a collaborative register with surveillance of children with cerebral palsy in Latin American countries.

Introduction: Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the leading causes of childhood disability globally with a high burden in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Preliminary findings from the global LMIC CP Register (GLM CPR) suggest that the majority of CP in LMICs are due to potentially preventable causes. Such data are lacking in the Latin American region.

Growth patterns in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy from Argentina and Germany.

To analyze growth patterns of children with CP between countries; to examine differences in growth; and to assess the fit of growth charts. Cross-sectional study in children with CP from 2 to 19 years old, 399 from Argentina and 400 from Germany. Growth measures were converted into z-scores and compared to WHO reference and US CP growth charts.

Novel weight estimation equation for children with cerebral palsy in low-resource settings: Validation in a population-based cohort.

Aim: To validate a novel equation to estimate weight from mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) among children with cerebral palsy (CP) in rural Bangladesh.

Method: Children with CP aged 2 to 18 years registered in the Bangladesh CP Register were randomly selected. Data on sociodemographics, Gross Motor Function Classification System level, and anthropometric measurements were extracted.

Growth in infants, children and adolescents with unilateral and bilateral cerebral palsy.

To compare growth patterns during infancy, childhood and adolescence in children with unilateral and bilateral cerebral palsy (CP) phenotype and to assess the association with gross motor impairment, dysphagia and gestational age. We retrospectively studied 389 children with CP from a single center population in Munich, Germany. 1536 measurements of height and weight were tabulated and z-scored from 6 to 180 months of age.

[Child disability in a changing world: a human rights approach].

The COVID-19 pandemic is pronounced as a turning point in our professional health practice, from which new opportunities will arise with which we must promote the rights of children and people with disabilities.

Development of equations and software for estimating weight in children with cerebral palsy.

Aim: To develop equations and software to estimate weight using segmental measures for children with cerebral palsy (CP).

Method: This was a cross-sectional study. Children and adolescents with CP of both sexes from 2 to 19 years old from five cities in Argentina were included.

Height growth study of healthy children and adolescents from Córdoba, Argentina.

Objective: Based on a sample of children and adolescents of both genders, our objective is to des cribe height growth, estimate the peak age at growth spurt, growth rate at this point, the final adult height expected, and differential patterns Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conduc ted using demographic, clinical, and anthropometric data collected prospectively from children and adolescents of both sexes between 2015 and 2016. Height percentiles were calculated using the LMS (skewness, median, and coefficient of variation) method and then adjusted using the Preece-Baines model 1.

Results: We evaluated 861 participants (484 girls, 377 boys), aged between 2 and 18 years.

[Classification systems for children and adolescents with cerebral palsy: their use in clinical practice].

Introduction: Classification systems are internationally used tools to characterize the functions of children and young people with cerebral palsy (CP), for clinical and research use. The aim of this study was to characterize the different classification systems available and describe the usefulness of each of the classifications, describing their use in clinical practice.

Methods: An exhaustive bibliographic revision was performed using the Cochrane Database, MEDLINE, LILACS y Google Scholar databases.

[COVID-19 and the reality of people with disabilities in Argentina: possibilities of complying with the considerations of the World Health Organization].

Introduction: In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, WHO published considerations regarding people with disabilities. The aim of this work was to know if these considerations can be fulfilled and if there are differences in their fulfillment between age groups.

Method: Descriptive study aimed at people with disabilities in Argentina.

Nutritional status of children with cerebral palsy attending rehabilitation centers.

Aim: To describe the nutritional status of children with cerebral palsy (CP) from rehabilitation and therapeutic centers in Argentina, and to analyze their risk of undernutrition based on their Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level.

Method: This was a cross-sectional study with data collected from 321 children (196 males, 125 females) with CP age 2 to 19 years (mean age 9y 3mo, SD 4y 5mo) from 17 rehabilitation and therapeutic centers in five Argentine provinces. Nutritional status was defined by height, weight, and body mass index for age z-scores using World Health Organization growth charts.

The photographic atlas of Spanish food consistency: a new tool for the treatment of dysphagia.

Introduction: dysphagia requires texture-modified foods and thickened liquids, which is difficult to explain to patients and caregivers.

Methods: an atlas has been developed and validated to explain the consistencies using the Likert scale questionnaire and the Delphi survey. The agreement and reliability of the tool were evaluated, with a minimum of 80%.

[The construction of cerebral palsy definition: a historical journey to the present].

Introduction: The definition of cerebral palsy (CP) has been difficult over the years mainly because of the large number of manifestations and concomitant diseases that can occur, taking unique characteristics in each subject that suffers.

Method: This work seeks to reconstruct the historical course of cerebral palsy in order to relate it to the current challenges that arise in the area of public health for its approach. For this, a bibliographic review work was carried out in digital databases based on keywords.

[Use of body segments for assess growth and nutritional status in children and adolescents.].

Introduction: Weight and height are essential information to assess growth and nutritional status in pediatrics. The determination of them by direct method is difficult in hospitalized patients. The objective was to analyze the correlation between weight and mid arm circumference (MAC), and between height and knee height (KH) of children and teenagers so it can be used to asses growth and nutritional status in hospitalized children.
