RESUMEN

Objetivos:

caracterización de las Funciones Ejecutivas (FE) y Calidad de Vida (CV) en niños de 8 a 12 años con trasplante hepático (TxHep).

Metodología:

Se evaluó al primer paciente de la agenda de seguimiento de TxHep (37 niños). Excluidos 7 6 por discapacidad intelectual 16,6%, 1 desertó. Instrumentos escala Graffar, WISC III, NEPSY II, d2, Test de Trazados A y B, y Peds QL. FE 30 TxHep y 30 controles. (Statistical Package for Social Sciences, versión 11.5).

Resultados:

53,3% diagnóstico de Falla Hepática Fulminante (FHF), 70% TxHep con dificultades escolares. CI total diferencia estadísticamente significativa p < 0.023; T test de Student (TtS), entre FHF (82 ± 8.2) y el resto TxHep (75.43 ± 6.5). 60% TxHep en el nivel fronterizo. Diferencias estadísticamente significativas FE Flexibilidad cognitiva; Fijación de Metas; y Procesamiento de la Información. Calidad de Vida déficit leve en el dominio Escolar (score Z, -0.88 ± 0.87) y en el Psicosocial (score Z, -0.63 ± 1.06), en el reporte de niños TxHep.

Conclusiones:

una muestra mas amplia podría diferenciar las FE y CV entre FHF y otros diagnósticos. La intervención oportuna del diagnóstico y terapia neurocognitivos favorecen el neurodesarrollo acompañando la sobrevida (AU)
ABSTRACT

Purpose:

To describe executive functions (EF) and quality of life (QOL) in children between 8 and 12 years of age who underwent liver transplantation (LTx).

Methods:

Patients from the list of LTx patients in follow-up were evaluated (37 children). Excluded 7 6 because of intellectual disability 16.6%, 1 dropped out. Tools Graffar index, WISC III, NEPSY II, d2, Trail Making Tests A and B, and Peds QL. EF 30 LTx and 30 controls. (Statistical Package for Social Sciences, versión 11.5).

Results:

53.3% had a diagnosis of acute liver failure (ALF), 70% of LTx had difficulties in their school performance. Total IQ a significant statistical difference was found p < 0.023; Student's t test (StT), between patients with ALF (82 ± 8.2) and the remaining LTx patients (75.43 ± 6.5). Sixty percent had a borderline level. Statistically significant differences in EF Cognitive flexibility; Goal setting; and Information Processing speed. QOL A mild deficit in the School (Z-score, -0.88 ± 0.87) and Psychosocial Domain (Z score, -0.63 ± 1.06) in the LTx children's report.

Conclusions:

A larger study sample will be useful to differentiate EF and QOL in LTx children with ALF and those with other diagnoses. Early intervention after diagnosis and neurocognitive therapy is important to improve patients' quality of survival (AU)
