To measure the salivary flow rate, osmolality, electrolyte and total protein concentrations in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP).
Thirty-eight individuals with CP were divided according to the neuromotor abnormality type (total, spastic and dyskinectic) and compared to 22 nondisabled children (control group). Whole saliva was collected under slight suction. The salivary parameters studied were salivary flow rate, osmolality, sodium, potassium, chloride and total protein concentrations.
CP individuals, with both neuromotor abnormality types (spastic and dyskinectic), presented an increase in salivary osmolality, total protein, potassium and chloride concentrations compared to the control group (p<0.05). Moreover, a reduction in salivary flow rate was verified in spastic individuals (p<0.05).
The reduction in salivary flow rate and increase in osmolality, total protein and electrolyte concentrations of saliva from cerebral palsy individuals could be caused by hypohydration status.
测量脑瘫（CP）患者的唾液流量、渗透压、电解质和总蛋白浓度。
根据神经运动异常类型（全面、痉挛和运动障碍）将 38 名 CP 患者分为与 22 名非残疾儿童（对照组）进行比较。采用轻微抽吸收集全唾液。研究的唾液参数包括唾液流量、渗透压、钠、钾、氯和总蛋白浓度。
两种神经运动异常类型（痉挛和运动障碍）的 CP 患者的唾液渗透压、总蛋白、钾和氯浓度均高于对照组（p<0.05）。此外，痉挛患者的唾液流量降低（p<0.05）。
脑瘫患者唾液流量减少，渗透压、总蛋白和电解质浓度升高，可能是由于脱水状态引起的。
