Abstract
Background: Though much research has been done on the cognitive profiles of children, the abilities of patients with SBM as they age into adulthood are not well understood.Objective: Determine if adults with SBM have impairments in overall cognition, attention, executive function, and memory compared to typically developing adults or a standardized population mean.Methods: A medical librarian composed a search of spina bifida, adults, and cognitive function. 549 results were screened using title and abstract. Data were extracted using Covidence review software, including risk of bias assessments. 24 studies were included.Results: Memory impairments, notably working and prospective, have been reported. Results in other domains varied. Average VIQ or PIQ did not imply lack of impairment in other specific domains.Conclusion: Memory impairments should be accounted for and neuropsychological testing should be considered when providing care to adults with SBM. Future longitudinal cognitive aging and interventional studies are needed.
期刊介绍:
Developmental Neurorehabilitation aims to enhance recovery, rehabilitation and education of people with brain injury, neurological disorders, and other developmental, physical and intellectual disabilities. Although there is an emphasis on childhood, developmental disability can be considered from a lifespan perspective. This perspective acknowledges that development occurs throughout a person’s life and thus a range of impairments or diseases can cause a disability that can affect development at any stage of life.
