: Frequency and relationship between gastrointestinal symptoms, sleep problems, internalizing and externalizing symptoms, behavior problems and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms, and predictors of behavior problems were examined in children and adolescents with Cerebral Palsy (CP). : Parents of 104 children and adolescents with CP completed the Gastrointestinal Symptom Inventory, Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire, Child Behavior Checklist, Social Communication Questionnaire and the Behavior Problem Inventory-Short Form. : High frequency of behavior problems (88.5%), gastrointestinal symptoms (81.7%), sleep problems (81%) ASD symptoms (48%) and internalizing and externalizing symptoms (31.7%) were found. Relationships were found between gastrointestinal symptoms and sleep problems, and gastrointestinal symptoms and internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Relationships were found between sleep problems and behavior problems. Intellectual disability, sleep problems, internalizing and externalizing symptoms, and ASD symptoms predicted behavior problems. : Findings highlights the frequency of comorbidities that exist in CP and how these comorbidities affect one another.
胃肠道症状、睡眠问题、内化和外化症状、行为问题与自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）症状之间的频率及关系，以及行为问题的预测因素，在脑瘫（CP）患儿和青少年中进行了研究。
104 名 CP 患儿和青少年的家长完成了胃肠道症状量表、儿童睡眠习惯问卷、儿童行为检查表、社会沟通问卷和行为问题清单-短表。
发现行为问题（88.5%）、胃肠道症状（81.7%）、睡眠问题（81%）、ASD 症状（48%）和内化和外化症状（31.7%）的发生率较高。胃肠道症状与睡眠问题以及胃肠道症状与内化和外化症状之间存在相关性。睡眠问题与行为问题之间存在相关性。智力障碍、睡眠问题、内化和外化症状以及 ASD 症状可预测行为问题。
研究结果强调了 CP 中存在的共病的频率以及这些共病如何相互影响。
