Post-traumatic stress, sleep, and neurocognitive problems in children newly diagnosed with a pediatric brain tumor
A subgroup of children with newly diagnosed brain tumors shows deficits in neurocognitive functioning, which highlights the importance of early monitoring to identify children at-risk for problems. Hydrocephalus, posterior fossa tumor location, and starting treatment, but not post-traumatic stress and sleep, are associated with poorer neurocognitive performance at this phase. Longitudinal research will be important for identifying biopsychosocial factors that may be associated with cognition over time.
