Sponsored by Assiut University · Observational
This cross-sectional study aims to assess the current practice of nutritional assessment and management in children with cerebral palsy and to determine the frequency of undernutrition among them.
Children with cerebral palsy frequently experience feeding difficulties and are at high risk of malnutrition. Thorough nutritional assessment is essential for appropriate intervention.
This observational study will evaluate nutritional status, feeding practices, gastrointestinal complications, and compliance with standard nutritional care indicators in children aged 1 to 18 years with cerebral palsy attending Assiut University Children's Hospital.
1,619 studies on the registry are indexed under Malnutrition; 241 are open to participants now.
