@entity73 in XXXX with chronic @entity74 --a matched control study.

@entity1 @entity73 @entity74 @entity158
AIM: To verify the occurrence of @entity73 in @entity1 with chronic @entity74 ( @entity74 ) and to provide a more detailed description of the impairment's character and context. METHODS: Thirty (30) @entity1 with chronic @entity74 and 30 matched healthy controls completed a cognitive test battery. Four computerised tests were used: a) two different types of cognitive tasks (reaction time vs. working memory) and b) two types of information processing (verbal vs. spatial). Before testing and after every randomised subtest, subjects rated their @entity158 level on a visual analogue scale. RESULTS: A worse overall performance among @entity1 with @entity74 and, specifically, worse results concerning working memory tasks were found. Post-hoc testing revealed a statistically significant difference concerning the single variable "verbal reaction time". @entity158 intensity among @entity1 increased significantly during testing. @entity158 intensity after the subtest for verbal mental reaction time (independent of test sequence) was significantly correlated with results in this subtest, the more @entity158 , the more time was needed. CONCLUSION: Compared to healthy controls, @entity1 performed worse overall. Concerning verbal reaction time, the impairment was correlated with @entity158 intensity. The findings support the hypothesis that @entity158 might be one important factor leading to @entity73 in @entity1 with chronic @entity74 .
