Estimated IQ Systematically Underestimates Neurocognitive Sequelae in Irradiated Pediatric Brain Tumor Survivors

EIQ systematically underestimates the neurocognitive sequelae of children treated with cranial radiation therapy. FSIQ is much more likely than EIQ to identify neurocognitive deficits, allowing for appropriate interventions, as well as academic services and accommodations. Thus, EIQ should have a very limited role in both clinical and research settings for this population.
