Factors of biological risk and reserve associated with executive behaviors in children and adolescents with spina bifida myelomeningocele
Abstract
This study examined differences between healthy children (n = 35) and those with spina bifida myelomeningocele (SBM; n = 42) on the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF), a measure of executive function behaviors. It also examined whether aspects of biological risk associated with SBM and reserve factors within the family could account for variability in BRIEF scores for children and adolescents with SBM. Patients in the SBM group exhibited more problems than both published norms and a local comparison group of healthy children in metacognition but not behavior regulation. Behavior regulation problems in children with SBM were predicted by parent psychological distress. More shunt-related surgeries and history of seizures predicted poorer metacognitive abilities.

Previous studies have demonstrated the importance of examining the BRIEF at the level of index/factor scores or individual scales in pediatric and adult populations.
“Indeed, previous studies have demonstrated the importance of examining the BRIEF at the level of the indexes/factor scores or at the level of individuals scales in a variety of pediatric (Brown et al., 2008;Mahone et al., 2002) and adult (Christ et al., 2010;Kumbhani et al., 2010;Schroeder & Kelley, 2008) populations.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
