Insufficient postural control and trunk instability are serious concerns in children with cerebral palsy (CP). We implemented a predictive model to identify factors associated with postural impairments such as spastic or hypotonic truncal tone (TT) in children with CP. We conducted a longitudinal, double-blinded, multicenter, descriptive study of 102 teenagers with CP with cognitive impairment and severe motor disorders with and without truncal tone impairments treated in two specialized hospitals (60 inpatients and 42 outpatients; 60 males, mean age 16.

Factors associated with neurotoxin treatments in children with cerebral palsy (CP) are poorly studied. We developed and externally validated a prediction model to identify the prognostic phenotype of children with CP who require neurotoxin injections. We conducted a longitudinal, international, multicenter, double-blind descriptive study of 165 children with CP (mean age 16.

Article Synopsis
  • Cerebral palsy (CP) is linked to a higher chance of epilepsy, and this study aimed to find out which factors contribute to developing seizures in children with CP.
  • The research involved 102 children between 12-18 years old, analyzing various characteristics and implementing a prediction model called Epi-PredictMed to evaluate factors affecting epilepsy.
  • Key findings indicated that factors like the cause of CP (especially prenatal), types of spasticity, and issues with communication, feeding, and motor skills were significantly associated with epilepsy, highlighting the need for awareness and management for families dealing with these conditions.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) has traditionally been considered a disease of older adults (⩾65 years old), but it may appear in younger adults. However, the risk factors for OA in younger adults need to be further evaluated.

Objectives: To develop a prediction model for identifying risk factors of OA in subjects aged 20-50 years and compare the performance of different machine learning models.

Objective: To develop a predictive model of neuromuscular hip dysplasia (NHD) in teenagers with cerebral palsy (CP) to optimize rehabilitation.

Design: A longitudinal, multicenter, double-blinded, descriptive study of one hundred and two teenagers with CP (age 16.5 ± 1.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is common in adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) and there is a lack of studies applying artificial intelligence to investigate this field and this population in particular. The aim of this study is to develop and test a predictive learning model to identify factors associated with ASD in adolescents with CP. This was a multicenter controlled cohort study of 102 adolescents with CP (61 males, 41 females; mean age ± SD [standard deviation] = 16.

Background: Intellectual disability and impaired adaptive functioning are common in children with cerebral palsy, but there is a lack of studies assessing these issues in teenagers with cerebral palsy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop and test a predictive machine learning model to identify factors associated with intellectual disability in teenagers with cerebral palsy.

Methods: This was a multicenter controlled cohort study of 91 teenagers with cerebral palsy (53 males, 38 females; mean age ± SD = 17 ± 1 y; range: 12-18 y).

Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of a clinical prediction model of neuromuscular scoliosis via external validation.

Methods: We analyzed a series of 120 patients (mean age ± standard deviation, 15.7 ± 1.
