Abstract

Introduction: The Test of Everyday Attention for Children 2 (TEA-Ch 2) is a rigorously tested measure of attention, often used in pediatric neuro-oncology settings. Data from one Primary Treatment Centre found a high proportion of children scored in the highest range on the Cerberus subtest. This brief report attempts to answer the question: Does the Cerberus subtest of the TEA-Ch 2 provide outlying scores in the pediatric neuro-oncology population?

Methods: Data representing 62 Cerberus assessments from four primary treatment centers were analyzed.

Results: Data showed a substantially higher level of performance on the Cerberus subtest compared to other TEA-Ch2 subtests. Scores were not only higher than expected relative to children's performance on other subtests but also higher than would be expected in the general population.

Discussion: Within our data, performance on the Cerberus subset of the TEA-Ch 2 yields somewhat questionable data from which to draw conclusions regarding sustained attentional ability in a pediatric neuro-oncology cohort.

小儿神经肿瘤队列中 TEACh 2 Cerberus Subtest 的潜在异常结果。

简介儿童日常注意力测试 2（TEA-Ch 2）是一种经过严格测试的注意力测量方法，常用于儿科神经肿瘤学领域。一家初级治疗中心的数据显示，在 Cerberus 分项测试中，得分在最高范围的儿童比例很高。本简短报告试图回答这个问题：TEA-Ch 2 的 Cerberus 分测验是否会给儿科神经肿瘤患者带来离谱的分数？对来自四个主要治疗中心的 62 次 Cerberus 评估数据进行了分析：结果：数据显示，与 TEA-Ch2 的其他分测验相比，Cerberus 分测验的成绩高出很多。与儿童在其他子测试中的表现相比，得分不仅高于预期，也高于一般人群的预期：讨论：在我们的数据中，TEA-Ch 2 的 Cerberus 分项测试的成绩产生了一些值得商榷的数据，我们无法据此对儿科神经肿瘤组群的持续注意力能力得出结论。
