Implications of attention and executive functioning weaknesses in youth with Fontan circulation.
Youth with Fontan circulation (Fontan) are at-risk for impairments in attention and executive functioning (EF) due to a confluence of genetic, prenatal, surgical, and medical risk factors. We sought to describe attention and EF in this population, measured via standardized performance-based tests and caregiver rating scales. We then examined how weaknesses in attention and EF were related to outcomes in other neurobehavioral domains, including adaptive behavior and academic achievement. Our sample included 93 youth with Fontan who were referred for neuropsychological evaluations as part of standard clinical care. The cohort as a whole measured between 0.18 to 0.99 standard deviations below normative means across domains of attention, EF, academic achievement, and intellectual ability. In addition, caregiver-reported concerns for attention, EF, anxiety, and depression were elevated, and approximately 0.35 to 0.85 standard deviations above normative means. Lastly, caregiver-reported adaptive behavior measured 0.93 to 1.24 standard deviations below normative values. Academic outcomes were differentially affected by demographic and attention/EF variables, while depression and caregiver-reported EF predicted adaptive behavior. Findings from this study underscore the importance of routine neuropsychological evaluation as part of comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for individuals with Fontan, with the goal of enhancing neurobehavioral and functional outcomes across the lifespan.
期刊介绍:
The purposes of Child Neuropsychology are to:
publish research on the neuropsychological effects of disorders which affect brain functioning in children and adolescents,
publish research on the neuropsychological dimensions of development in childhood and adolescence and
promote the integration of theory, method and research findings in child/developmental neuropsychology.
The primary emphasis of Child Neuropsychology is to publish original empirical research. Theoretical and methodological papers and theoretically relevant case studies are welcome. Critical reviews of topics pertinent to child/developmental neuropsychology are encouraged.
Emphases of interest include the following: information processing mechanisms; the impact of injury or disease on neuropsychological functioning; behavioral cognitive and pharmacological approaches to treatment/intervention; psychosocial correlates of neuropsychological dysfunction; definitive normative, reliability, and validity studies of psychometric and other procedures used in the neuropsychological assessment of children and adolescents. Articles on both normal and dysfunctional development that are relevant to the aforementioned dimensions are welcome. Multiple approaches (e.g., basic, applied, clinical) and multiple methodologies (e.g., cross-sectional, longitudinal, experimental, multivariate, correlational) are appropriate. Books, media, and software reviews will be published.
