Clinical characteristics influencing timing of cerebral palsy diagnosis in neonatal follow-up
CP diagnosis timing is affected by GMFCS level, motor type, and distribution. Especially in infants with CP involving less motor impairment, there is a prolonged delay between CP suspicion and formal diagnosis. This gap may be amenable to quality improvement initiatives aimed at targeted implementation of early assessment tools.
