Rapid correction of wasting in children with cerebral palsy / John PATRICK in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 28-6 (December 1986)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 28-6 (December 1986) . - p.734-739 Titre : Rapid correction of wasting in children with cerebral palsy Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : John PATRICK, Auteur ; Margaret BOLAND, Auteur ; Deanna STOSKI, Auteur ; Gordon E. MURRAY, Auteur Année de publication : 1986 Article en page(s) : p.734-739 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Severe cerebral palsy is often accompanied by wasting. The authors used standard methods for the correction of primary protein energy malnutrition in children with severe cerebral palsy. A randomised controlled trial was used to compare intensive nasogastric tube-feeding with the best oral feeding that could be achieved. Nasogastric feeding led to highly significant increases in weight. The changes in skinfold thickness and mid-arm muscle circumference indicated increases in both lean and fat tissue. This study indicates that wasting associated with cerebral palsy can be quickly corrected, so there is no reason why such patients should be exposed to the increased risks associated with wasting.
