Cumulative doses listed for intrathecal (IT) and intravenous (IV) methotrexate (MTX). Initial testing denotes first testing ≥1 year and ≤10 years after CRT. Follow-up testing denotes current testing. All neurocognitive assessment scores presented in age-adjusted standard scores with an expected mean of 100 and and SD of 15. Participants did not differ from nonparticipants in initial Verbal IQ (P = .12), Performance IQ (P = .60), or Full Scale IQ (P = .24).

IT, intrathecal; IV, intravenous; Min-Max, minimum-maximum; MTX, methotrexate.
