ABSTRACT

T-tests from 42 brain tumor patients showed adaptive functioning below normative means at both time points (test interval M=2.60y, SD=1.32). Neurological risk, time since diagnosis,age at diagnosis, age at evaluation, and time since evaluation were correlated with specific adaptive skills. There was a main effect of age at diagnosis, age at assessment, time since diagnosis, and neurological risk as well as an interaction of age at diagnosis × neurological risk for specific adaptive skills. Results highlight the importance of considering the relationship between developmental and medical variables on changes in adaptive functioning in survivors of pediatric brain tumors.

摘要

42 名脑肿瘤患者的 T 检验显示，两个时间点的适应性功能均低于正常平均值（检验间隔 M=2.60y，SD=1.32）。神经学风险、诊断后时间、诊断时年龄、评估时年龄和评估后时间与特定适应技能相关。诊断年龄、评估年龄、诊断后时间和神经风险以及诊断年龄×神经风险对特定适应技能的相互作用具有主要影响。结果强调了考虑发育变量和医学变量之间的关系对小儿脑肿瘤幸存者适应性功能变化的重要性。
