The relationship between functional status and hematological parameters in children with spastic cerebral palsy: a retrospective cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Muscle spasms, joint stiffness, dysphagia, dystrophy, and other problems associated with cerebral palsy (CP) might lead to abnormalities in some hematological parameters, yet the characteristics of common hematological parameters in children with spastic CP and the relationship between abnormality of hematological parameters and functional status in those children are unclear. This study seeks to address these concerns, thereby providing guidance for healthcare professionals in selecting appropriate hematological monitoring indicators for the effective management of children with CP.

Methods

Children with spastic CP aged from 2 to 18 years (y) were included between 2016 and 2023. Information such as sex, age, type of CP, and Gross Motor Function Classification Sys
