Neurocognitive outcomes following successful resuscitation from XXXX .

@entity1 @entity73 @entity772 @entity1167
INTRODUCTION: @entity1167 commonly results in varying degrees of @entity73 . Standard outcome measures used in the @entity1167 cohort do not rigorously evaluate for these injury patterns. We examined the utility of the Computerized Assessment for Mild @entity73 (CAMCI) in @entity1167 ( @entity1167 ) survivors. We hypothesized that @entity73 would be more severe in @entity1 who were @entity772 on hospital arrival. METHODS: Prospective cohort of @entity1167 survivors at a single tertiary care facility where @entity1 received neurocognitive testing using CAMCI. CAMCI results were subdivided into memory, attention, and executive functions. Scores between subjects who were @entity772 and were not @entity772 following resuscitation were compared using the Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS: Of 72 subjects included, the majority (N=44) were @entity772 following resuscitation with mean age of 54 (  14) years. The majority experienced a good neurologic outcome based on Cerebral Performance Category (N=47; 66%) and Modified Rankin Scale (N=38; 53%). Time from resuscitation to CAMCI testing was not associated with total CAMCI score in this cohort (Pearson's r(2) value -0.1941, p=0.20). @entity772 and not @entity772 subjects did not differ in their CAMCI overall scores (p=0.33), or in any subtest areas. The not @entity772 cohort had 1 subtest for which there was a Moderate Risk for mild @entity73 (Nonverbal Accuracy), and 2 for which there was a Moderately Low Risk (Verbal Accuracy and Executive Accuracy). The Comatose cohort had 4 subtests, which were deemed Moderately Low Risk for @entity73 (Verbal Accuracy, Attention Accuracy, Executive Accuracy and Nonverbal Accuracy). CONCLUSIONS: In-hospital CAMCI testing suggests memory, attention and executive impairment are commonly in @entity1 following resuscitation from @entity1167 . Outcome evaluations should test for deficits in memory, attention, and executive function.
