The Feasibility and Validity of Objective and Patient-Reported Measurements of Cognition During Early Critical Illness Recovery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cognitive outcomes are an important determinant of quality of life after critical illness, but methods to assess early cognitive impairment and cognition recovery are not established. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and validity of objective and patient-reported cognition assessments for generalized use during early recovery from critical illness.

Methods

Patients presented from the community with acute onset of either intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) or sepsis as representative neurologic and systemic critical illnesses. Early cognitive assessments comprised the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), three NIH Toolbox cognition measures (Flanker Inhibitory Control and Attention Test, List Sorting Working Memory Test and Pattern Comparison Processing Sp
