Age at referral for diagnosis and rehabilitation services for cerebral palsy: a scoping review.

Abstract:

AIM:This study sought to: (1) determine what is known about age at referral for diagnosis and rehabilitation services for children suspected of having cerebral palsy (CP); and (2) identify factors associated with earlier referral. METHOD:A scoping review was conducted to summarize existing literature. We systematically searched Allied and Complementary Medicine, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, and PsycINFO for evidence published between 1979 and 2017 on age at referral for diagnosis or age at referral to rehabilitation services for children suspected of having CP. Quantitative and thematic analyses of the literature were performed. RESULTS:Our search yielded 777 articles, of which 15 met the inclusion criteria. Only one study focused on age at referral for diagnosis of CP (mean 16.6mo±19.2mo), with two on age at referral to rehabilitation services (means 13.9mo±15.8mo and 12.4mo). Potential predictors of earlier referral identified include referral source, type of CP, and a complicated birth history. INTERPRETATION:Evidence is sparse; however, available studies suggest high variation in the age at which children are being referred for diagnosis, typically ranging from 10 months to 21 months. Evidence indicates that subgroups of children with CP might be experiencing prolonged delays. Findings highlight the need to better understand what contributes to delays in referral for diagnosis and rehabilitation. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS:Evidence on age at referral for diagnosis of cerebral palsy is sparse. Potential predictors of delayed referral represent targets to minimize delays in diagnosis. A subset of children may be experiencing unnecessary delays in referral. :EDAD DE DERIVACIÓN A LOS SERVICIOS DE DIAGNÓSTICO Y REHABILITACIÓN EN LA PARÁLISIS CEREBRAL: REVISIÓN DEL ALCANCE: OBJETIVO: Este estudio buscó (1) determinar qué se conoce sobre la edad de derivación a los servicios de diagnóstico y rehabilitación de niños con sospecha de tener parálisis cerebral (PC) e (2) identificar factores asociados con una derivación más temprana. MÉTODO: Se llevó a cabo una revisión panorámica para resumir la literatura existente. Buscamos sistemáticamente en Allied and Complementary Medicine, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, and PsycINFO la evidencia publicada entre 1979 y 2017 sobre la edad de derivación para el diagnóstico o la edad de derivación a los servicios de rehabilitación de niños con sospecha de PC. Se realizaron análisis cuantitativos y temáticos de la literatura. RESULTADOS: Nuestra búsqueda arrojó 777 artículos, de los cuales 15 cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Solo un estudio estaba enfocado en la edad de la derivación para el diagnóstico de PC (media 16.6m±19.2m), y dos sobre la edad de derivación a los servicios de rehabilitación (media 13.9m±15.8m and 12.4m). Los posibles predictores de la derivación más temprana incluyen la procedencia de la derivación, el tipo de PC, y una historia de nacimiento con complicaciones. INTERPRETACIÓN: La evidencia es escasa; sin embargo, los estudios disponibles sugieren que existe una alta variación de la edad en la que los niños son derivados para ser diagnosticados, típicamente oscilando entre los 10 meses y los 21 meses. La evidencia indica que subgrupos de niños con PC pueden estar experimentando retrasos prolongados. Los hallazgos resaltan la necesidad de comprender mejor lo que contribuye al retraso en la derivación para el diagnóstico y para la rehabilitación. :IDADE DE ENCAMINHAMENTO PARA DIAGNÓSTICO E SERVIÇOS DE REABILITAÇÃO PARA PARALISIA CEREBRAL: UMA REVISÃO ABRANGENTE: OBJETIVO: Este estudo buscou (1) determinar o que se sabe sobre a idade de encaminhamento para diagnóstico e serviços de reabilitação para crianças com suspeita de paralisia cerebral (PC) e 2) identificar fatores associados com o encaminhamento precoce. MÉTODO: Uma revisão de escopo foi realizada para sintetizar a literatura existente. Nós sistematicamente buscamos a Allied and Complementary Medicine, CINAHL, Biblioteca Cochrane, Embase e PsycINFO por evidências publicadas entre 1979 e 2017 sobre idade no momento do encaminhmento para diagnóstico ou idade no momento do encaminhamento para serviços de reabilitação para crianças com suspeita de PC. Análise quantitativa e temática da literatura foram realizadas. RESULTADOS: Nossa busca resultou em 777 artigos, dos quais 15 atenderam aos critérios de inclusão. Apenas um estudo enfocou a idade de encaminhamento para diagnóstico de PC (média 16,6 m ± 19,2 m), com dois sobre a idade de encaminhamento para serviços de reabilitação (média 13,9 m ± 15,8 m e 12,4 m). Potenciais preditores do encaminhamento precoce incluíram a fonte do encaminhamento, o tipo de PC, e uma história de nascimento complicado. INTERPRETAÇÃO: A evidência é escassa; no entanto, os estudos disponíveis sugerem alta variação na idade em que crianças são encaminhadas para diagnóstico, tipicamente variando de 10 a 21 meses. A evidência indica que subgrupos de crianças com PC podem vivencar atrasos prolongados. Os achados enfatizam a necessidade de compreender melhor o que contribui para os atrasos no encaminhamento para diagnóstico e reabilitação.
