Attention and executive functioning in children and adolescents treated for high‐risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia: A report from the Children's Oncology Group (COG)
For survivors of pediatric B-ALL, treatment-related factors were not associated with attention or EF outcomes. In contrast, outcomes varied by demographic characteristics, including age and insurance type, an indicator of economic hardship. Future research is needed to more directly assess the contribution of socioeconomic status on cognitive outcomes in survivors.
