Cross-sectional analysis identifies comorbidities and HRQOL in children with cerebral palsy, suggesting interventions for better outcomes.

Overall mean CPQOL score was 33.03, significantly impacted by spastic quadriplegia and maternal education.
Among 51.7% of children aged 4–7 years, 93.3% had comorbid seizures, indicating the prevalence of neurological issues.
Assessment using the Gross Motor Function Classification System revealed varied severity and impacts on QOL across different types of CP.
Study highlights the connection of lower QOL with educated mothers and head circumference <−3 standard deviation.

Nahrel et al. (2025) studied this question.
