Adaptive behaviour was investigated in a group of 35 individuals who survived Reye's syndrome. Specifically, the association between three medical variables: age at onset of disease, months since medical recovery, and stage of coma, and current functioning level was assessed. Results indicated that these variables may be viable predictors for some of the behavioural domains. Sequelae related to this disease may include a diminished level in the rate of learning as well as long term maladaptive behaviours.
