The aim of the study was to describe the relation between sensory issues and medical complexity in a series of patients presenting to an outpatient multidisciplinary feeding team for evaluation, by a standardized measure of sensory-processing abilities.
A retrospective chart review of all of the patients seen from 2004 to 2009 on 2 key variables: medical diagnostic category and short sensory profile (SSP) score.
On the SSP, 67.6% of children scored in the clinical ("definite difference") range. The most common diagnostic categories were developmental (n = 23), gastrointestinal (n = 16), and neurological (n = 13). Behavioral and cardiorespiratory medical diagnostic categories were significantly related to SSP total score and SSP definite difference score.
Children who present for feeding evaluation do indeed tend to have clinically elevated scores regarding sensory processing, and these elevated scores are significantly related to certain medical diagnostic categories. Future research is needed to determine why these significant relations exist as well as their implications for treatment of feeding-related issues.
本研究旨在通过标准化的感觉处理能力评估方法，描述一系列到门诊多学科喂养团队就诊的患者中感觉问题与医疗复杂性之间的关系。
对 2004 年至 2009 年期间在 2 个关键变量（医疗诊断类别和短感觉概况评分[SSP]）上就诊的所有患者进行回顾性图表审查。
在 SSP 上，67.6%的儿童得分处于临床（“明显差异”）范围内。最常见的诊断类别为发育障碍（n=23）、胃肠道（n=16）和神经（n=13）。行为和心肺医疗诊断类别与 SSP 总分和 SSP 明显差异评分显著相关。
确实有前来接受喂养评估的儿童在感觉处理方面存在临床显著升高的评分，且这些升高的评分与某些医疗诊断类别显著相关。需要进一步研究以确定为什么存在这些显著关系及其对治疗与喂养相关问题的影响。
