We evaluated the association between the parent-reported pediatric perceived cognitive functioning (PedsPCF) questionnaire and the parent-reported behavior rating inventory of executive function (BRIEF) as well as neuropsychological assessments (NPA). We included 8-, 12- and 17-year-old participants who had joined a prospective follow-up program between 2017 and 2019. Self- and parental proxy-reported PedsPCF and proxy-reported BRIEF scores and their mutual association were evaluated. In total, 168 participants were included. Self- and proxy-reported PedsPCF scores were significantly below normal (mean (SD) z-score: \u22120.35 (0.88), p &lt; 0.001; \u22120.36 (1.06), p &lt; 0.001, respectively). Total BRIEF scores were significantly above normal (mean (SD) z-score 0.33 (0.98), p &lt; 0.001). Proxy-reported PedsPCF scores and the Metacognition Index subscores of the BRIEF correlated strongly (\u03c4 = 0.551, p &lt; 0.001). Self-reported PedsPCF scores were not associated with NPA test scores. Proxy-reported PedsPCF scores were positively associated with multiple NPA test scores, especially intelligence (R2 = 0.141). The proxy-reported PedsPCF revealed cognitive problems more often than the BRIEF in school-aged children who had survived neonatal critical illness. The proxy-reported PedsPCF may support clinical decision-making regarding the need for extensive neuropsychological assessments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children9060900","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,17]],"date-time":"2022-06-17T01:48:12Z","timestamp":1655430492000},"page":"900","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Parent-Reported Perceived Cognitive Functioning Identifies Cognitive Problems in Children Who Survived Neonatal Critical Illness"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3365-8488","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yerel","family":"Ilik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery and Intensive Care, Erasmus MC Sophia Children\u2019s Hospital, Dr. Molewaterplein 40, 3015 GD Rotterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hanneke","family":"IJsselstijn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery and Intensive Care, Erasmus MC Sophia Children\u2019s Hospital, Dr. Molewaterplein 40, 3015 GD Rotterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saskia J.","family":"Gischler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery and Intensive Care, Erasmus MC Sophia Children\u2019s Hospital, Dr. Molewaterplein 40, 3015 GD Rotterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Annabel","family":"van Gils-Frijters","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery and Intensive Care, Erasmus MC Sophia Children\u2019s Hospital, Dr. Molewaterplein 40, 3015 GD Rotterdam, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry\/Psychology, Erasmus MC Sophia Children\u2019s Hospital, Dr. Molewaterplein 40, 3015 GD Rotterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4910-8293","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Johannes M.","family":"Schnater","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery and Intensive Care, Erasmus MC Sophia Children\u2019s Hospital, Dr. Molewaterplein 40, 3015 GD Rotterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9004-0836","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andre B.","family":"Rietman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery and Intensive Care, Erasmus MC Sophia Children\u2019s Hospital, Dr. Molewaterplein 40, 3015 GD Rotterdam, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry\/Psychology, Erasmus MC Sophia Children\u2019s Hospital, Dr. Molewaterplein 40, 3015 GD Rotterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Glinianaia, S.V., Morris, J.K., Best, K.E., Santoro, M., Coi, A., Armaroli, A., and Rankin, J.
