Criterion‐Related Validity of the Neuropsychological Quick Assessment for Screening Cognitive, Motor, and Behavioral Impairments in Patients With Pediatric Brain Tumors: An Observational Pilot Study

Key Points

To assess the validity of the Neuropsychological Quick Assessment (NQA) in identifying cognitive, motor, and behavioral impairments in pediatric brain tumor patients.
Conducted an observational pilot study
Analyzed correlations between NQA components and functional outcomes
Evaluated neuropsychological complications in patients
Each NQA component displayed good correlation with relevant functional outcomes
Confirmation of NQA as a clinically useful tool for screening impairments

Abstract

Each NQA component scale showed good correlation with corresponding functional outcomes. We conclude that the NQA is a simple and clinically useful screening tool for neuropsychological complications in patients with pediatric brain tumors.
