Résumé

Although the relationship between radiation and neurocognition has been extensively studied in the pediatric brain tumor population, it is increasingly recognized that neurocognitive impairment is multifactorial. Therefore, we quantified the effect of socioeconomic status (SES) and chemotherapy on neurocognitive impairment and decline post-treatment. Eligible patients included those diagnosed with a brain tumor at < 22 years of age with ≥1 neurocognitive assessment. Neurocognitive impairment was defined as performance 1.5 standard deviations below the normative mean using age-standardized measures of intellectual function. Neurocognitive decline was defined as a negative slope. Neurocognitive outcomes included Wechsler indices of Full-Scale Intelligence Quotient (IQ). Logistic regression identified variables associated with neurocognitive impairment. Longitudinal data was analyzed using linear mixed models. Eligible patients ( Public insurance, an indicator of low SES, was associated with post-treatment impairment in IQ, highlighting the need to incorporate SES measures into prospective studies. Chemotherapy was associated with change in IQ. Further work is needed to determine whether impairment associated with low SES is secondary to baseline differences in IQ prior to brain tumor diagnosis, brain tumor/therapy itself, or some combination thereof.

Background UNASSIGNED
Although the relationship between radiation and neurocognition has been extensively studied in the pediatric brain tumor population, it is increasingly recognized that neurocognitive impairment is multifactorial. Therefore, we quantified the effect of socioeconomic status (SES) and chemotherapy on neurocognitive impairment and decline post-treatment.
Methods UNASSIGNED
Eligible patients included those diagnosed with a brain tumor at < 22 years of age with ≥1 neurocognitive assessment. Neurocognitive impairment was defined as performance 1.5 standard deviations below the normative mean using age-standardized measures of intellectual function. Neurocognitive decline was defined as a negative slope. Neurocognitive outcomes included Wechsler indices of Full-Scale Intelligence Quotient (IQ). Logistic regression identified variables associated with neurocognitive impairment. Longitudinal data was analyzed using linear mixed models.
Results UNASSIGNED
Eligible patients (
Conclusions UNASSIGNED
Public insurance, an indicator of low SES, was associated with post-treatment impairment in IQ, highlighting the need to incorporate SES measures into prospective studies. Chemotherapy was associated with change in IQ. Further work is needed to determine whether impairment associated with low SES is secondary to baseline differences in IQ prior to brain tumor diagnosis, brain tumor/therapy itself, or some combination thereof.
