Adverse events after chemodenervation with onabotulinum neurotoxin A in children with hypertonia and sialorrheano
Graphical Abstract
All injections with known follow-up, categorized as above or within the approved maximum dose guidelines. Injections with adverse events are counted in the black columns; those without adverse events are counted in gray columns.

Does botulinum neurotoxin A make walking easier in children with cerebral palsy? A randomized clinical trialoa
Graphical Abstract
- One treatment with botulinum neurotoxin A in the calf muscles did not reduce energy cost 12 weeks after injections compared to placebo.
- Results suggest a delayed improvement (24 weeks) in energy cost after botulinum neurotoxin A injections in the calf muscles.
- Botulinum neurotoxin A in the calf muscles may reduce calf pain in ambulatory children with cerebral palsy.

Community-based respiratory health measures in children and young people with cerebral palsy: A scoping reviewoa
What this paper adds
What this paper adds- A limited number and size of experimental designs were found.
- Seventy-six measures were identified to assess respiratory health in cerebral palsy.
- No consensus was found in ‘what’ or ‘how’ to measure respiratory health.
- Many measures were not replicable in children and young people at risk of poorer respiratory health outcomes.
- Children and young people with comorbidities and learning disability were frequently excluded from studies.

Outpatient encounters, continuity of care, and unplanned hospital care for children and young people with cerebral palsyoa
What this paper adds
What this paper adds- Many children with cerebral palsy use multiple and frequent outpatient services.
- Better continuity of care is associated with living in metropolitan and less socioeconomically disadvantaged areas.
- Outpatient service utilization reduces at the time of transition to adult services.
- High outpatient utilization is associated with unplanned hospital care.
- Decreased continuity of care is associated with unplanned hospital care.

Measuring grip strength in adolescents and adults with cerebral palsy in a clinic setting: Feasibility, reliability, and clinical associationsoa
What this paper adds
What this paper adds- Measurement of hand grip strength is clinically feasible for adolescents/adults with cerebral palsy.
- Grip strength has good to excellent test–retest reliability across Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) levels.
- Grip strength is associated with sex, weight, waist circumference, GMFCS, and especially MACS.
- Grip strength, in addition to GMFCS, shows promise for enhancing disease prediction in this cohort.
