Objective:

To investigate the factors influencing poor communication function outcomes in children with cerebral palsy.

Approach:

Key Findings:

• No significant differences in gender, parental age at conception, gestational week, alcohol consumption during pregnancy, history of neonatal asphyxia, mode of delivery, pregnancy-related infections, or malnutrition between the groups.
• Significant differences in age, birth weight, smoking during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and family genetic history were observed.
• Age, birth weight, smoking during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and family genetic history were identified as independent factors influencing poor communication function outcomes.

Interpretation:

Younger age, low birth weight, maternal smoking during pregnancy, non-breastfeeding, and a positive family history were independently associated with poor communication outcomes in children with CP.

Conclusion:

The study highlights several independent factors that may influence communication abilities in children with cerebral palsy.
