REVIEWS
Strategies supporting parent-delivered rehabilitation exercises to improve motor function after paediatric traumatic brain injury: A systematic review
- Pages: 836-848
- First Published: 04 October 2023

What this paper adds
- Parents need support to deliver or supervise rehabilitation exercises.
- The interventions identified in this review supported goal setting, action planning, and learning rehabilitation exercises.
- Interventions focused primarily on the initiation of exercises but less on maintenance.
- Rehabilitation is complex and new approaches are needed to better support parents.
Community-based respiratory health measures in children and young people with cerebral palsy: A scoping review
- Pages: 849-862
- First Published: 25 January 2024

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.

Antenatal diagnosis, neonatal brain volumes, and neurodevelopment in transposition of the great arteries
- Pages: 882-891
- First Published: 11 January 2024

What this paper adds
- Antenatal diagnosis of transposition of the great arteries modified relationships between neonatal brain volume and neurodevelopment.
- Smaller brain volumes related to poorer cognitive scores with postnatal diagnosis only.
- There was more preoperative hypotension in the postnatal diagnosis group.
We examined whether antenatal diagnosis modifies relationships between neonatal brain volumes and neurodevelopment in a clinical cohort of children with transposition of the great arteries. In infants with postnatal diagnosis, smaller neonatal brain volumes were associated with lower cognitive scores; these associations were not present in the antenatal diagnosis group. These findings suggest that antenatal diagnosis may be neuroprotective, possibly mediated through improved hemodynamic state in the preoperative period.
Neonatal well-being and timing of brain injury in persons with cerebral palsy born at term or late preterm
- Pages: 892-901
- First Published: 18 December 2023
- In a population-based, term/late preterm cohort with cerebral palsy, 57% had a complicated neonatal period.
- In the same cohort, 57% had presumed antenatal timing of brain injury.
- The relative proportion with perinatal injury decreased over time.

Circulating immune cell populations at rest and in response to acute endurance exercise in young adults with cerebral palsy
- Pages: 902-909
- First Published: 18 December 2023

What this paper adds
- TCRγδ+ T-cell baseline levels are elevated in adults with cerebral palsy (CP).
- The CD8+ T-cell response to exercise was blunted in adults with CP.
- Exercise intensity is decisive for CD8+ T-cell responses in individuals with CP.

Glycopyrronium 320 μg/mL in children and adolescents with severe sialorrhoea and neurodisabilities: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
- Pages: 910-918
- First Published: 12 January 2024

What this paper adds
- The formulation of 320 μg/mL glycopyrronium significantly improved Drooling Impact Scale score versus placebo at day 84.
- The formulation reduced the impact of drooling on the child's and family's quality of life.
- There were no safety or tolerability concerns with this specific formulation.
Glycopyrronium 320 μg/mL significantly improved drooling and reduced its impact on quality-of-life, with good tolerability in children with neurodisabilities.

Predicting non-response to intraglandular botulinum neurotoxin A injections for drooling in children with neurodevelopmental disabilities
- Pages: 919-930
- First Published: 23 December 2023

What this paper adds
- Developmental age seemed most predictive of non-response to submandibular botulinum neurotoxin A injections.
- Non-response to concurrent submandibular and parotid injections was best predicted by tongue protrusion and number of previous injections.
- Multivariable prediction models including these clinical characteristics were unable to discriminate well.
- Predictors differed when non-response was defined using alternative outcome measures.

Environment-based approaches to improve participation of young people with physical disabilities during COVID-19
- Pages: 931-938
- First Published: 22 December 2023

What this paper adds
- Environmental-based interventions can improve participation even during adverse times such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Significant improvement with large effect sizes occurred in both activity performance and satisfaction.
- Intervention was effective for all; those without mental health problems benefited more.
- Improvements in body-function outcomes were partially observed, especially in motor-related outcomes.
- Body functions may improve through participation even if not targeted by the intervention.

- Pages: 948-957
- First Published: 21 January 2024

What this paper adds
- The association of fetal hydrocephalus with Joubert-Boltshauser syndrome (JBTS) is very rare but not a chance association.
- This association represents a new phenotypic subtype of JBTS possibly linked to specific genes or variants.
