Abstract

Objective A scoping review was conducted on the relevant content of assessment tools for cognitive function after liver transplantation in children. Methods Studies were searched from databases of PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,CINAHL,SinoMed,CNKI,WanFang,and VIP from inception to March 2025. Literature was screened and literature-related information was extracted according to the established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results A total of 25 articles were included,with a total of 25 assessment tools and 7 types. The most commonly used were the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Intelligence Scale 3rd Edition,the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children 4th Edition,Beery-Buktenica Visual-Motor Integration Test,Pediatric Quality of Life InventoryTM Cognitive Functioning Scale,Bayley scale of infant development. Conclusion There are a wide variety of cognitive function assessment tools after liver transplantation,and the reliability and validity need to be further verified. It is suggested that researchers should develop a targeted assessment scale for cognitive function after liver transplantation according to the national conditions of China and the clinical characteristics of children with liver transplantation.
