Examine academic achievement among pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia survivors diagnosed during the years 1993-2008.
A deterministic linkage of the Iowa Cancer Registry and Iowa Testing Programs databases was performed and yielded 147 survivors. Achievement data, in the form of Iowa Percentile Rank scores, were obtained and analyzed by grade and content domain.
Children diagnosed before age 5 evidenced more underachievement than those diagnosed later (p = .05). Underachievement was noted in mathematics in grades 8 and 11 (p's < .05), in addition to a longitudinal decrease in scores from grades 4 through 11 (p = .01). No differences were found in academic achievement between males and females.
Utilization of a population-based approach with a nationally recognized, standardized instrument indicates that academic underachievement is subtle yet exists, most notably in mathematics.
研究在 1993-2008 年期间被诊断患有小儿急性淋巴细胞白血病的幸存者的学业成就。
通过确定的爱荷华癌症登记处和爱荷华测试计划数据库的链接，确定了 147 名幸存者。以爱荷华百分等级分数的形式获得并分析了成就数据，并根据年级和内容领域进行了分析。
在 5 岁之前被诊断的儿童比后来被诊断的儿童表现出更多的学业落后（p=0.05）。在 8 年级和 11 年级时，数学成绩较差（p 值均小于 0.05），此外，从 4 年级到 11 年级，成绩呈纵向下降（p=0.01）。在学业成就方面，男女之间没有差异。
利用基于人群的方法和全国认可的标准化工具表明，学业成绩不佳虽然不明显，但确实存在，在数学方面尤为突出。
