| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To compare behavior ratings of executive functioning in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD), using the Behavior Rating Inventory for Executive Functions (BRIEF), with a typically developing comparison group and to examine the correlation between disease severity and ratings of executive functioning. METHODS: Participants included 92 individuals with CKD (eGFR < 90 mL/min per 1.73 m), aged 8 to 25 years, recruited from nephrology clinics in both hospital and community settings. The disease severity ranged from CKD Stage II to V. The BRIEF was completed by parents for individuals younger than 18 years of age and the BRIEF-Adult was completed by individuals who were older than 18. RESULTS: For individuals with CKD younger than 18 years of age, the parent-reported BRIEF revealed significant group differences when compared with controls on the Metacognition Index and the individual scales of Initiate, Working Memory, and Plan/Organize. A large proportion of individuals with CKD were rated as being at-risk for executive dysfunction. For the individuals of 18 years of age and older, there were no significant group differences. The relationship between BRIEF ratings and disease severity was limited to a few scales across both versions of the BRIEF. CONCLUSION: This study supported the presence of executive dysfunction through a parent report, although the level of impairment was mild and its association with disease severity was related to select executive functions. Few difficulties were reported by older adolescents and young adults with CKD. It will be important for developmental-behavioral pediatricians to be cognizant of the level and pattern of executive function capabilities in their patients with CKD, and possible discrepancies with parent reports, so as to facilitate their management and transition planning. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
