ObjectiveTo describe the implementation of international guidelines for early diagnosis cerebral palsy (CP) and engagement in screening process an Australian cohort infants with neonatal risk factors CP.Study designProspective study recruited at <6 months CA from 11 sites states Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Australia. First, we implemented a multi-modal knowledge translation strategy including barrier identification, technology integration special interest groups. Screening was as...
Purpose: The aim of this systematic scoping review was to explore the use motor optimality score in fidgety movement period clinical practice, and investigate evidence for predicting neurodevelopmental outcomes. Summary Key Points: Thirty-seven studies, with 3662 infants, were included. Studies conceptualized charted into 4 categories based on score: prediction, outcome measure, descriptive, or psychometric properties. most represented populations preterm low-birth-weight infants (16...
Abstract Background Delays in early social and executive function are predictive of later developmental delays eventual neurodevelopmental diagnoses. There is limited research examining such markers the first year life. High-risk infant groups commonly present with a range challenges, including delays, show higher rates autism diagnoses For example, it has been estimated that up to 30% infants diagnosed cerebral palsy (CP) will go on be Methods This article presents protocol prospective...
Aim We previously reported sensitivity and specificity levels of the general movements assessment (GMA) to detect cerebral palsy (CP) at 1 year within a clinical setting with assistance New South Wales (NSW) Rater Network. The aim this study was determine whether similarly high validity could be maintained in same group 2 years. Methods A prospective longitudinal cross‐sectional conducted. GMA blind‐rated from conventional video by two independent certified raters, blinded medical history....
Aim There is an identified gap in the literature regarding use of G eneral M ovements ( GMs ) A ssessment to identify risk infants post‐surgery. This paper aims examine for who have undergone surgery common profiles writhing age. Methods was a prospective cohort study 170 (99 male, 58%) admitted neonatal surgical unit from 2012 until J une 2014. Infants were born at mean age 38 weeks (standard deviation SD 2.3), and conducted term (40 weeks, 2.6) following either cardiac n = 84, 49%) or...
Developmentally supportive environments are known to improve medical outcomes for hospitalized neonates and considered the overarching philosophy practice in neonatal setting. Developmental rounds a strategy incorporated by multidisciplinary teams support development within beyond unit. Typically, they consist of bedside consultations individualized developmentally recommendations families clinicians. Globally, use developmental has been described since early 1990s. They viewed as measure...
The general movements (GMs) assessment is recognised as one of the most important tools in early detection cerebral palsy (CP). However, there remains a paucity data on its application to infants with congenital anomalies requiring surgery. This was prospective study 202 (mean gestation 38 weeks, SD 2.2) who had undergone major surgery for neonatal period. Infants were assessed at three months age 12 1.6) and GMs videos independently rated by clinicians, two blinded clinical details....
To describe the neurodevelopmental outcomes following extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in early infancy.Thirty-seven patients who had survived ECMO support from 2008 to 2018 their assessed and analysed using Bayley Scales of Infant Toddler Development. Developmental outcome was defined as impairment any developmental domains motor function, cognition language with mild being 1-2 standard deviations below test mean, moderate 2-3 severe greater than 3 below.Of these 37 patients,...
Abstract Aim To explore parents' experiences of early screening for cerebral palsy (CP) in three Australian states. Method This is a qualitative description study using semi‐structured interviews. Participants were parents children who had CP ( n = 5), or high risk 10), no 11) at 2 years, and completed CP. Data analysed reflexive thematic analysis. Results Three themes describe screening. (1) ‘A new, destabilized world’ explores how are thrown into an unexpected parenting pathway with the...
