abstract="Primary objective and hypothesis: To test the hypothesis that there is a significant relationship between WeeFIM ratings of cognitive functioning and performance on neuropsychological tests of children with traumatic brain injury (TBI). <br><br>DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of archival data. PARTICIPANTS: Data from 52 children with severe TBI collected during inpatient rehabilitation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Multiple regression analysis with Neuropsychological test scores from Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI) and Children's Memory Scale (CMS) entered as predictor variables and WeeFIM cognitive ratings as criteria variables. <br><br>RESULTS: Analyses revealed significant relationships between WeeFIM cognitive rating and neuropsychological test scores. Delayed verbal memory was most highly associated with WeeFIM cognitive ratings. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Results support the hypothesis of significant relationships between neuropsychological performance and WeeFIM ratings of children with TBI and support generalizability of neuropsychological performance to daily cognitive functioning.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
