Abstract

Early diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP) is critical to allow evidence-based interventions when plasticity is greatest. In 2017, international guidelines for early detection of CP were published.1 Implementation of these guidelines across a large US network was shown to reduce the age of CP diagnosis to <9.5 months of age. In Ireland the four Tertiary NICUs deliver >50% of all births, and care for the majority of high-risk infants (HRIF) nationally; >70% of Very Low Birth Weight Infants, and all Therapeutic Hypothermia cases. Our study aim is through consistent implementation of these international guidelines to reduce the age at CP diagnosis to <12 months of age across a network of tertiary NICU HRIF follow-up programs in Ireland.
