Impaired language performance as a precursor or consequence of XXXX ?

@entity1 @entity410 @entity73 @entity1654 @entity302
OBJECTIVES: A correlation between @entity73 and @entity1654 is frequently reported. It is unknown whether this @entity73 develops gradually as a consequence of @entity1654 or precedes the onset of @entity410 . In the latter case both @entity73 and @entity1654 may be symptoms of an underlying syndrome or both develop during the process of epileptogenesis. METHODS: Non-comparative clinical cohort study of 48 @entity1 with @entity1654 ( @entity1 's mean age is 9 years, and 7 months; SD is 1 year, and 8 months). They were screened for previous and current @entity73 and their reading skills were examined. RESULTS: 23% of @entity1 with @entity1654 had speech therapy in the past and 35% repeated a year on primary school, which is more often compared to the Dutch population of @entity1 . Their results on a reading task revealed lower scores. CONCLUSIONS: Language is impaired in @entity1 with @entity1654 . In some @entity1 this @entity73 may even be a precursor, for the @entity1654 . It is undecided however, whether the @entity73 develops gradually after the onset of @entity302 , whether @entity1654 and @entity73 are both symptoms of an underlying syndrome or both develop during the process of epileptogenesis as we observed in some @entity1 the onset of @entity73 before the onset of @entity302 .
