Aim: To describe the epidemiology of cerebral palsy (CP) and access to related services on Tanna Island, Vanuatu, a low-income country in the Pacific region with limited data on childhood disability, including CP.
Method: A population-based register of children (aged 0-18 years) with CP was established on Tanna Island. Children with suspected CP were identified using the key informant method and assessed by a multidisciplinary team for clinical diagnosis. Data were collected on demographics, aetiology, clinical characteristics, rehabilitation, and education using a culturally adapted case record form from the Global Low- and Middle-Income Country CP Register.
Results: Of the 98 children assessed, 52 had CP and two acquired brain injury. The observed prevalence of CP was 3.4 per 1000 in the paediatric population; mean age at diagnosis was 8 years 1 month (SD = 5 years 1 month). Sixty-three per cent (n = 34) of children had primary motor-type spasticity, 43% (n = 23) were classified in Gross Motor Function Classification System levels III to V, 43% (n = 21) were severely underweight, 83% (n = 45) had never received any rehabilitation, and 79% of school-age children (n = 30 of 38) did not attend school.
Interpretation: The prevalence and motor severity of CP is alarmingly high on Tanna Island, Vanuatu. Delayed diagnosis and lack of access to rehabilitation and education highlights the urgent need for early diagnosis, intervention, and rehabilitation services for children with CP in Vanuatu.

Aim: To describe the natural history of newborn children with mild hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy in the first year of life.
Method: This was a multicentre, prospective observational study involving five neonatal intensive care units in an Italian region using both structured clinical and neurophysiological assessments according to the Italian Society of Neonatology guidelines. To make the clinical evaluation homogeneous at each centre, a training neurological courses was provided to all operators involved in the study. Forty newborn children (23 males and 17 females) underwent neonatal and infant neurological examination (Hammersmith Neonatal Neurological Examination and Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination), brain magnetic resonance at 7 to 10 days, electroencephalogram between 6 months and 12 months, and Griffiths Scales of Child Development, Third Edition to assess neurodevelopmental outcome at 12 months.
Results: All of these infants demonstrated typical neuromotor development and age-appropriate developmental quotients at 12 months, even in the few showing abnormalities at magnetic resonance imaging assessment or neurological assessment during the neonatal period.
Interpretation: Current classifications of mild hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy may misclassify risk, highlighting the need for refined diagnostic criteria and early staging tools that can be used within the first 6 hours of life.
