The aim of this study is to update a systematic review of instruments for evaluating the executive functions (EFs) in a pediatric population to assess their measurement properties.
Studies describing evaluation tools of EFs were systematically searched on four electronic databases: PubMed, EBSCO, Scopus, and Web of Science. To be included studies had to be on a population aged 0 to 18 were included. The individuals were either healthy or presented a neurodevelopment disorder. Risk of Bias was evaluated through the Consensus-based Standards to select the health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN).
The search was conducted on April 2023. Eighty-four papers met the inclusion criteria and were included in the study; the studies refer to 72 different evaluation tools of EFs. Most of the studies analyzed through a methodological quality analysis received an 'adequate' score. The instrument most mentioned was the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-2 (BRIEF2) in seven articles.
本研究旨在更新针对儿童人群执行功能(EF)评估工具的系统评价,以评估其测量特性。
我们在四个电子数据库(PubMed、EBSCO、Scopus 和 Web of Science)上系统地搜索了描述 EF 评估工具的研究。纳入的研究必须针对年龄在 0 至 18 岁的人群,且这些人群健康或患有神经发育障碍。通过基于共识的健康测量仪器选择标准(COSMIN)评估偏倚风险。
检索于 2023 年 4 月进行。有 84 篇论文符合纳入标准,并被纳入研究;这些研究涉及 72 种不同的 EF 评估工具。通过方法学质量分析进行分析的大多数研究获得了“适当”评分。在七篇文章中,最常提到的工具是行为评定量表-执行功能 2 版(BRIEF2)。
