“…Of note, as is inevitably the case in longitudinal research, some participants were lost to attrition. However, the current attrition rates (19% of mTBI and 17% of OI dropped out between T0 and T2) were similar to other studies in pediatric TBI (Anderson et al, 2017;Karver et al, 2012;Taylor et al, 2002;Yeates et al, 2004).…”

“…However, no group differences were identified for the practical and conceptual domains. Other studies that have included children with mTBI in their study population have failed to identify significant changes in adaptive functioning in this sub‐group (Anderson et al, ; Anderson et al, ; Anderson et al, ; Catroppa et al, ; Max et al, ). However, mean scores and graphic representation of the data suggest that the level of adaptive functioning of children with mTBI falls somewhere between that of control participants and children with more severe TBI (Anderson et al, ; Catroppa et al, ; Max et al, ), suggesting that their functioning may not be equivalent to that of control participants despite lack of statistically significant differences.…”

“…Studies indicate a dose–response association between TBI and adaptive functioning, with more severe injury associated with poorer adaptive functioning (Anderson et al, ; Catroppa, Anderson, Morse, Haritou, & Rosenfeld, ; Max et al, ; Shultz et al, ; Taylor et al, ; Treble‐Barna et al, ; Wade, Zhang, Yeates, Stancin, & Taylor, ). Longitudinal studies of children with moderate/severe TBI suggest that impairments in adaptive functioning persist over the long term, and may endure into adulthood (Anderson et al, ; Anderson, Brown, Newitt, & Hoile, ; Catroppa et al, ; Shultz et al, ; Taylor et al, ; Treble‐Barna et al, ). Among the three domains of adaptive functioning, social skills appear to be the most profoundly affected after moderate/severe TBI (Anderson et al, ; Shultz et al, ).…”

“…We hypothesized that the temporal trajectory of adaptive functioning, particularly in the social domain, would be affected after mTBI in comparison with that of children with orthopedic injuries. This expectation is based on studies reporting reduced adaptive functioning after moderate to severe TBI particularly in the social domain (Anderson et al, ; Shultz et al, ), and on observations suggesting that the adaptive functioning of children with mTBI may not be equivalent to that of control participants (Anderson et al, ; Catroppa et al, ; Max et al, ) and may be subject to stagnation in its development (Anderson, Catroppa, Haritou, et al, ).…”

Adaptive behavior impairments have been reported in children with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) but are not typically found following mild TBI. It is possible that mild TBI induces subtle changes in adaptive functioning that are not captured in conventional group comparisons. This study aimed to explore time course changes in adaptive functioning following early mild TBI. Parents of 63 children with mild TBI and 53 children with orthopedic injuries aged between 1.5 and 5 years at the time of injury completed the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System‐II at three time points: retrospectively to assess pre‐injury functioning, then at 6 and 18 months post‐injury. Developmental trajectories of adaptive functioning domains (practical, conceptual, and social) reported by parents were modeled using linear mixed‐model analyses. Findings suggest that mild TBI may disrupt the expected developmental progression of children's social adaptive behavior, but does not appear to alter practical and conceptual domains.

Trajectories of Children's Executive Function After Traumatic Brain Injury

et al. 2021

Key Points Question What is the 3-year trajectory of recovery of executive function after mild-to-severe traumatic brain injury in children? Findings In this longitudinal cohort study of 559 children with mild, moderate, or severe traumatic brain injury or orthopedic injury, patterns of recovery differed by injury severity, age at injury, and executive function assessed. Overall, growth curve models showed children’s functioning worsening most sharply from baseline to 12 months; children with severe traumatic brain injury showed a secondary worsening between 24 and 36 months on some subscales. Meaning Results suggest that changes in the recovery of children’s executive function over time will require repeated assessments in order to tailor interventions.

Background Pediatric brain tumor survivors are at risk for poor social outcomes. It remains unknown whether cognitive sparing with proton radiotherapy (PRT) supports better social outcomes relative to photon radiotherapy (XRT). We hypothesized that survivors treated with PRT would outperform those treated with XRT on measures of cognitive and social outcomes. Further, we hypothesized that cognitive performance would predict survivor social outcomes. Procedure Survivors who underwent PRT (n = 38) or XRT (n = 20) participated in a neurocognitive evaluation >1 year post radiotherapy. Group differences in cognitive and social functioning were assessed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Regression analyses examined predictors of peer relations and social skills. Results Age at evaluation, radiation dose, tumor diameter, and sex did not differ between groups (all p > .05). XRT participants were younger at diagnosis (XRT M = 5.0 years, PRT M = 7.6 years) and further out from radiotherapy (XRT M = 8.7 years, PRT M = 4.6 years). The XRT group performed worse than the PRT group on measures of processing speed (p = .01) and verbal memory (p < .01); however, social outcomes did not differ by radiation type. The proportion of survivors with impairment in peer relations and social skills exceeded expectation; χ2(1) = 38.67, p < .001; χ2(1) = 5.63, p < .05. Household poverty predicted peer relation difficulties (t = 2.18, p < .05), and verbal memory approached significance (t = −1.99, p = .05). Tumor diameter predicted social skills (t = −2.07, p < .05). Conclusions Regardless of radiation modality, survivors are at risk for social challenges. Deficits in verbal memory may place survivors at particular risk. Results support monitoring of cognitive and social functioning throughout survivorship, as well as consideration of sociodemographic risk factors.
