| Popis: | AIM A diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP) can, and should, be made as early as possible. This work describes current clinical practice around the awareness and use of diagnostic tools for the detection of CP in New Zealand (NZ). METHODS A purpose-developed survey distributed electronically to NZ clinicians working with young children with or at risk of CP. RESULTS A total of 159 clinicians (including paediatricians, physiotherapists and occupational therapists) participated in this cross-sectional study. Ninety-six percent were aware that a diagnosis of CP can be made by 12 months of age, with high levels of awareness of the use of magnetic resonance imaging (94%), Prechtl's qualitative assessment of general movements (GMs) (70%) and Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) (77%). Only 40% were aware of the HINE optimality scoring. Fifty-four clinicians provided a diagnosis of CP as part of their role: 48% never used the GMs or HINE to assess children |
