Health-related Quality of Life
Registration Number
NCT04881097
Lead Sponsor
Rigshospitalet, Denmark
Brief Summary

The study will provide information on cognitive impairment and Health related quality of life in patients surviving 12 months after acute brain injury, generate a hypothesis of useful variables to predict cognitive impairment or low levels of HRQoL, and potentially inform interventions for the prevention and treatment of cognitive impairment following neuro-ICU stay.

Detailed Description

The aim is to 1) measure the frequency and extent of cognitive impairment after acute brain injury at six and 12-months after neuro-Intensive care unit (ICU) admission 2) explore the association between cognitive impairment at six and 12 months after ICU admission with the following potential risk factors: duration of ICU delirium (days), duration of sepsis (days), duration of post traumatic amnesia (days) and the severity of brain injury (initial Glasgow Coma Scale , 3) describe Health related quality of life, functional disability and frailty at six and 12 after ICU admission and 4) explore the association between the functional disability, frailty and health-related quality of life at 12 months after ICU admission

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Global cognitive functionfrom baseline to 12 months after ICU admission

measured by The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status, Overall score (mean 100; SD=15). Higher scores indicate better cognitive functioning.

Change in Executive functionfrom baseline to 12 months after ICU admission

measured by Trail Making Test B, Score indicate time in seconds to complete task, the higher speed (less seconds) indicates higher executive function

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Disability after head injury/nontraumatic acute brain insults IIfrom baseline to 12 months after ICU admission

measured by Extended disability rating scale (DRS). Scores from 0 to 29, the higher the score the more disability

Change in Frailtybaseline to 12 months after ICU admission

measured by the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). Scale is from 1 to 9 ( the higher score the more frail).

Change in Health related quality of life after brain injuryfrom baseline to 12 months after ICU admission

measured with a disease specific questionnaire:Quality of Life after Brain Injury overall scale (QOLIBRI-OS). Scores are from 0-100, the higher the score the more quality of life.

Deliriumduring the procedure (ICU stay) up to 30 days

measured by Confusion measured by CAM-ICU or Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC).

Change in Disability after head injury/nontraumatic acute brain insults Ifrom baseline to 12 months after ICU admission

measured by Glasgow outcome scale extended (GOSE). Scores from 1 to 8, higher scores indicate less disability
