Impact of sleep, neuroendocrine, and executive function on health-related quality of life in young people with craniopharyngioma.

These findings suggest that young people with craniopharyngioma presenting with diabetes insipidus may benefit from targeted neurocognitive and psychosocial screening to inform interventions. What this paper adds Children with craniopharyngioma and executive functioning impairment are more likely to have poorer health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Diabetes insipidus, a complication associated with surgery, predicted greater executive functioning impairment. Diabetes insipidus indirectly predicted lower parent-reported HRQoL through executive functioning impairment.
