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。

期刊介绍： The journal publishes original contributions dealing with psychological aspects of the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders arising out of dysfunction of the central nervous system. Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology will also consider manuscripts involving the established principles of the profession of neuropsychology: (a) delivery and evaluation of services, (b) ethical and legal issues, and (c) approaches to education and training. Preference will be given to empirical reports and key reviews. Brief research reports, case studies, and commentaries on published articles (not exceeding two printed pages) will also be considered. At the discretion of the editor, rebuttals to commentaries may be invited. Occasional papers of a theoretical nature will be considered.
