“…Hence, we speculate that the national data for the prevalence of intellectual impairment is possibly not representative of the true burden. Furthermore, a comparable rate of 45.0% was observed in another population‐based study conducted in Australia …”

Aim To examine the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and risk factors of cerebral palsy (CP) in children in Bangladesh. Method The Bangladesh CP Register is an ongoing population‐based surveillance database of children with CP from a geographically defined area in Bangladesh. Cases were defined based on Surveillance of CP in Europe and Australian CP Register criteria after clinical assessments and identification by the key informant's method. Results In total, 726 children with CP were identified between January 2015 and December 2016. Mean age was 7 years 7 months (standard deviation [SD] 4y 6mo; range: 4.8mo–18y; median 7y 1.2mo; 61.8% male, 38.2% female). Mean age at CP diagnosis was 5 years 2 months (SD 3.8). Observed prevalence was 3.4 per 1000 children (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.2–3.7), resulting in an estimated 233 514 children (95% CI: 219 778–254 118) with CP in Bangladesh. The majority (79.6%) had spastic CP. Altogether, 79.6% of the children with CP had at least one associated impairment (speech 67.6%, intellectual 39.0%, epilepsy 23.7%, visual 10.2%, and hearing 10.2%). In total, 78.2% never received rehabilitation. Interpretation In Bangladesh, the burden of CP is high, and diagnosis is substantially delayed, limiting opportunities for early intervention. There is a lack of available services and the majority of the children had preventable risk factors. What this paper adds Prevalence of cerebral palsy (CP) is 3.4 per 1000 children in rural Bangladesh. There are an estimated 233 514 children with CP in Bangladesh. The majority have potentially preventable risk factors. Diagnosis of CP is delayed, limiting opportunities for early intervention. There is a lack of available services for children with CP in rural Bangladesh.

“…In the study by Reid et al., children with intellectual disability had more hospital admissions classified as emergency and multi‐day, and longevity was comparatively reduced for individuals with intellectual disability across all Gross Motor Function Classification System levels. In my opinion, these findings are very important.…”

Gustatory function is closely related to chewing and swallowing; however, there are currently no reports regarding gustatory function in persons with cerebral palsy (CP). The aim of this study was to compare the gustatory function between persons with CP and healthy controls. We investigated sweet, salty, sour and bitter tastes using the whole‐mouth method and measured the electrogustometric thresholds in the chorda tympani nerve area. Twelve participants with CP (6 women and 6 men) for whom gustatory testing was possible at our facilities, and 17 age‐matched controls (9 women and 8 men) were included. The mean age ± standard deviation was 58.6 ± 8.1 years and 58.5 ± 8.7 years in subjects with CP and controls, respectively. Taste detection and identification were significantly worse in persons with CP compared with the controls. Taste identification was more impaired than taste detection. At the highest concentration, taste identification was impossible 11 times out of 48 (12 persons × 4 kinds of tastes) in persons with CP but such a deficit was not observed in 68 attempts (17 persons × 4 kinds of tastes) involving controls. The electrogustometric thresholds were not significantly different between the groups. Gustatory function associated with chewing and swallowing is worse in persons with CP compared to the controls.
