目的虽然少数研究文献报道了儿童创伤性脑损伤(TBI)后注意缺陷的研究结果，但到目前为止还没有研究报告这一领域在儿童TBI后5年的研究结果。这项研究考察了一组在2至7岁期间遭受轻度、中度或重度脑外伤的儿童的注意力技能。方法选择70名儿童为研究对象，其中54人为颅脑损伤组，16人为非颅脑损伤对照组。儿童在脑损伤后5年接受评估，重点是注意力能力测试。结果脑外伤后5年内确实存在注意和加工速度(PS)缺陷，尤其是在儿童早期重度脑损伤后。注意力结果的预测因子因被调查的注意力成分而异。结论那些在受伤时发展或出现的技能(如持续注意、转移注意力、分散注意力、PS)更容易受到损害，可能不会以正常的创伤后速度发展。
Objective While a small number of research papers have reported findings on attentional deficits following pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI), no study to date has reported findings in this area at 5 years post-TBI in very young children. This study examined attentional skills in a group of children who had sustained a mild, moderate, or severe TBI between the ages of 2 and 7 years. Methods The sample comprised 70 children, 54 of these had sustained a TBI and 16 the non-injured control group. Children were assessed 5 years post-TBI, with focus on tests of attentional ability. Results Attentional and processing speed (PS) deficits do occur and persist up to 5 years post-TBI, particularly following severe TBI in early childhood. Predictors of attentional outcomes varied depending on the component of attention investigated. Conclusions Those skills developing or emerging at time of injury (e.g., sustained attention, shifting attention, divided attention, PS) are more compromised and may not develop at a normal rate of post-injury.
