Work productivity and neuropsychological function in @entity1 with XXXX .

@entity1 @entity1032 @entity308 @entity1313 @entity5
BACKGROUND: Skull base @entity5 comprise many common @entity1313 . Treatment has advanced, allowing many survivors to return to work. However, literature is limited about the neuropsychological status of these @entity1 prior to treatment. Literature pertaining to the relationship between neuropsychological functioning and occupational ability prior to surgical intervention is even more limited. The purpose of this analysis was to evaluate the impact of neuropsychological function on work productivity in @entity1 with @entity5 prior to resection. METHODS: Neuropsychological function and work productivity were assessed in adults newly diagnosed with @entity5 (n = 45) prior to surgical intervention. Univariate analyses identified potential predictors of work limitations; variables with P < .10 were analyzed using multivariate regression analyses controlled for age, sex, @entity5 type, and education. RESULTS: Poorer @entity1032 (MF) and higher @entity308 ( @entity308 ) were significantly associated with poor time management at work (MF: b = -0.59, P = .01; @entity308 : b = 3.42, P < .01; R (2) = 0.54). Difficulty meeting physical work demands was significantly associated with poorer visuospatial ability (VA) and higher @entity308 (VA: b = -3.30, P = .05; @entity308 : b = 2.29, P < .01; R (2) = 0.29). Lower learning and memory scores (LM) and higher @entity308 were significantly associated with difficulty meeting mental-interpersonal work demands (LM: b = -3.39, P = .04; @entity308 : b = 3.25, P < .01; R (2) = 0.47) and overall health-related loss of work productivity (LM: b = -0.72, P = .05; @entity308 : b = 0.659, P < .001; R (2) = 0.43). CONCLUSION: Domains of neuropsychological function that predicted work productivity were identified. Future research should examine neuropsychological function, @entity308 , and work productivity across the care trajectory from diagnosis through long-term survivorship.
