Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The primary parameters are:<br /><br>-Physical activity (Squash questionnaire) <br /><br>-Muscle strength (poundsforce) baseline, after 3-4 days post IC and after 3 months<br /><br>-Incidence of cognitive dysfunction at 3 months (compared to baseline)<br /><br>-Results of get-up-and-go test (secs) baseline and after 3 months<br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1.Analysis of factors associated with POCD:<br>Multiple binary logistic regression analysis will be performed to determine the relative strengths of association between potential factors (age, baseline cognitive function, physical inactivity, baseline inflammatory markers) and POCD. <br /><br>2.Correlation analysis and ANOVA after dichotomisation of physical activity and fitness with morbidity and outcome variables<br>
