Abstract

Key Points: Children treated for ALL without cranial radiation display significant IQ deficits of 6 to 8 points compared with healthy controls. Moderate deficits occur in other neurocognitive domains including working memory, information processing speed, and fine motor functioning.

  • Neurocognitive and behavioral late effects of childhood ALL treatment include weaknesses in working memory, visual-spatial reasoning, motor coordination, processing speed, and attention.

    “Neurocognitive and behavioral late effects include weaknesses in working memory, visual‐spatial reasoning, motor coordination, processing speed, and attention (Campbell et al., 2009; Iyer, Balsamo, Bracken, & Kadan‐lottick, 2015; Jacola et al., 2016; Peterson et al., 2008).”

    From Brain structure, working memory and response inhibition in childhood leukemia survivors (2017) · cites this paper as Iyer, Balsamo, Bracken, & Kadan‐lottick, 2015

    The Working memory, Information processing speed, and Fine motor functioning sections report weaknesses in childhood ALL survivors treated without cranial radiation. The Attention/concentration section reports mixed results and a nonsignificant pooled effect; the Visuoconstruction section does not establish a weakness in visual-spatial reasoning. The cited review therefore supports only part of the list. Page numbers were not available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
