Abstract
The impact of nutrition therapy in the acute phase on post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) remains unclear. We conducted a multicenter prospective study on adult patients with COVID-19 who required mechanical ventilation for more than three days. The questionnaire was mailed after discharge. Physical PICS, defined as less than 90 points on the Barthel index (BI), was assigned as the primary outcome. We examined the types of nutrition therapy in the first week that affected PICS components. 269 eligible patients were evaluated 10 months after discharge. Supplemental parenteral nutrition (SPN) >400 kcal/day correlated with a lower occurrence of physical PICS (10% vs 21.92%, p = 0.042), whereas the amounts of energy and protein provided, early enteral nutrition, and a gradual increase in nutrition delivery did not, and none correlated with cognitive or mental PICS. A multivariable regression analysis revealed that SPN had an independent impact on physical PICS (odds ratio 0.33, 95% CI 0.12-0.92, p = 0.034), even after adjustments for age, sex, body mass index and severity. Protein provision ≥1.2 g/kg/day was associated with a lower occurrence of physical PICS (odds ratio 0.42, 95% CI 0.16-1.08, p = 0.071). In conclusion, SPN in the acute phase had a positive impact on physical PICS for ventilated patients with COVID-19.

Impact of Persistent Inflammation, Immunosuppression, and Catabolism Syndrome during Intensive Care Admission on Each Post-Intensive Care Syndrome Component in a PICS Clinic. J Clin Med 2023; 12:5427. [PMID: 37629468 PMCID: PMC10455637 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12165427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Persistent inflammation, immunosuppression, and catabolism syndrome (PIICS) is known as a prolonged immunodeficiency that occurs after severe infection. Few studies have demonstrated a direct relationship between PIICS and physical dysfunction in post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). We herein investigated how each component of PICS was affected by the diagnosis of PIICS during hospitalization and examined the relationship between PIICS and PICS using PICS assessments performed at the Hitachi General Hospital PICS Clinic. METHODS The 273 patients who visited the PICS clinic at one month after discharge from the ICU at Hitachi General Hospital were included in the study. We used the diagnostic criteria for PIICS described in previous studies. At least two of the following blood test values on day 14 of hospitalization had to be met for a diagnosis of PIICS: C-reactive protein (CRP) > 2.0 mg/dL, albumin (Alb) < 3.0 g/dL, and lymphocytes (Lym) < 800/μL. Blood test values closest to day 14 out of 11-17 days of hospitalization were used. The primary outcome was a Barthel Index (BI) < 90, while secondary outcomes were the results of various PICS assessments, including mental and cognitive impairments, performed at the PICS clinic. We supplemented missing data with multiple imputations by chained equations. We performed a nominal logistic regression analysis with age, sex, BMI, SOFA, and the presence of PIICS as variables for BI < 90. RESULTS Forty-three out of two hundred seventy-three PICS outpatients met the diagnostic criteria for PIICS during hospitalization. In comparisons with non-PIICS patients, significantly higher severity scores for APACHE II and SOFA and a longer hospital stay were observed in PIICS patients, suggesting a higher clinical severity. The primary outcome, BI, was lower in the PIICS group (97.5 (58.5, 100) vs. 100 (95, 100), p = 0.008), as were the secondary outcomes (FSS-ICU: 35 (31, 35) vs. 35 (35, 35), MRC score: 55 (50.25, 58) vs. 58 (53, 60), grip strength: 16.45 (9.2, 25.47) vs. 20.4 (15.3, 27.7)). No significant differences were noted in mental or cognitive function assessments, such as HADS, IES-R, and SMQ. A multivariable analysis supplemented with missing data revealed that PIICS (odds ratio: 1.23 (1.08-1.40 p = 0.001) and age (odds ratio: 1.007 (1.004-1.01), p < 0.001) correlated with BI < 90, independent of clinical severity such as sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA). Similar results were obtained in the sensitivity analysis excluding missing data. CONCLUSIONS The present study revealed a strong relationship between PIICS and post-discharge PICS physical dysfunction in patients requiring intensive care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal nutrition therapy has not yet been established for the acute phase of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. OBJECTIVES We aimed to examine the effects of nutrition delivery in the acute phase on mortality and the long-term outcomes of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). METHODS A multicenter prospective study was conducted on adult patients with COVID-19 infection requiring mechanical ventilation during an intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Daily total energy (kcal/kg) and protein (g/kg) deliveries in the first week of the ICU stay were calculated. The questionnaire for PICS evaluation was mailed within a median of 6 mo after hospital discharge. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, and secondary outcomes were the PICS components of physical impairment, cognitive dysfunction, and mental illness. RESULTS Among 414 eligible patients, 297 who received mechanical ventilation for 7 d or longer were examined. PICS was evaluated in 175 patients among them. High protein delivery on days 4-7 correlated with a low in-hospital mortality rate. In contrast, high protein delivery on days 1-3 correlated with physical impairment. A multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, BMI, and severity revealed that average energy and protein deliveries on days 4-7 correlated with decreased in-hospital mortality (OR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.89, 0.99; P = 0.013 and OR: 0.40; 95% CI: 0.17, 0.93; P = 0.031, respectively). Nutrition delivery did not correlate with PICS outcomes after adjustments. In the multivariate regression using a restricted cubic spline model, in-hospital mortality monotonically decreased with increases in average nutrition delivery on days 4-7. CONCLUSIONS In patents with COVID-19 on mechanical ventilation for ≥7 d, nutrition delivery in the late period of the acute phase was monotonically associated with a decrease in in-hospital mortality. Adequate protein delivery is needed on days 4-7.This trial was registered at https://www.umin.ac.jp as UMIN000041276.

Grip Strength Correlates with Mental Health and Quality of Life after Critical Care: A Retrospective Study in a Post-Intensive Care Syndrome Clinic. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10143044.

Abstract
Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) is characterized by several prolonged symptoms after critical care, including physical and cognitive dysfunctions as well as mental illness. In clinical practice, the long-term follow-up of PICS is initiated after patients have been discharged from the intensive care unit, and one of the approaches used is a PICS clinic. Although physical dysfunction and mental illness often present in combination, they have not yet been examined in detail in PICS patients. Grip strength is a useful physical examination for PICS, and is reported to be associated with mental status in the elderly. We herein investigated the relationship between grip strength and the mental status using data from our PICS clinic. We primarily aimed to analyze the correlation between grip strength and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) score. We also analyzed the association between grip strength and the EuroQol 5 Dimension (EQ5D) score as quality of life (QOL). Subjects comprised 133 patients who visited the PICS clinic at one month after hospital discharge between August 2019 and December 2020. Total HADS scores were 7 (4, 13) and 10 (6, 16) (p = 0.029) and EQ5D scores were 0.96 (0.84, 1) and 0.77 (0.62, 0.89) (p ≤ 0.0001) in the no walking disability group and walking disability group, respectively. Grip strength negatively correlated with HADS and EQ5D scores. Correlation coefficients were r = -0.25 (p = 0.011) and r = -0.47 (p < 0.0001) for HADS and EQ5D scores, respectively. Grip strength was a useful evaluation that also reflected the mental status and QOL.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Little is known about the effectiveness of a psychosocial behaviour management programme on home-dwelling people with dementia. We developed a Behaviour Analytics & Support Enhancement (BASE) programme for care managers and professional caregivers of home care services in Japan. We investigated the effects of BASE on challenging behaviour of home-dwelling people with dementia. METHODS A cluster-randomized controlled trial was conducted with home care providers from 3 different districts in Tokyo. Each provider recruited persons with dementia aged 65 years or older to receive home care in the BASE programme in August 2016. An online monitoring and assessment system was introduced to the intervention group for repeated measures of challenging behaviour with a total score of the Neuropsychiatric Inventory. Care professionals in both the intervention and control groups evaluated challenging behaviour of persons with dementia at baseline (September 2016) and follow-up (February 2017). RESULTS A majority of persons with dementia had Alzheimer disease (59.3%). One-hundred and forty-one persons with dementia were included in the intervention group and 142 in the control group. Multilevel modelling revealed a significant reduction in challenging behaviour in the intervention group after 6 months (mean score, 18.3 to 11.2) compared with that of the control group (11.6 to 10.8; P < .05). CONCLUSION The implementation of the BASE programme resulted in a reduction of challenging behaviour of home-dwelling people with dementia. Future research should examine the long-term effects of behaviour management programmes on behaviour, nursing home placement, and hospital admission of home-dwelling people with dementia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of dementia is increasing in Asia than in any other continent. However, the applicability of the existing cognitive assessment tools is limited by differences in educational and cultural factors in this setting. We conducted a systematic review of published studies on cognitive assessments tools in Asia. We aimed to rationalize the results of available studies which evaluated the validity of cognitive tools for the detection of cognitive impairment and to identify the issues surrounding the available cognitive impairment screening tools in Asia. METHODS Five electronic databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Science Direct) were searched using the keywords dementia Or Alzheimer Or cognitive impairment And screen Or measure Or test Or tool Or instrument Or assessment, and 2,381 articles were obtained. RESULTS Thirty-eight articles, evaluating 28 tools in seven Asian languages, were included. Twenty-nine (76%) of the studies had been conducted in East Asia with only four studies conducted in South Asia and no study from northern, western, or central Asia or Indochina. Local language translations of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) were assessed in 15 and six studies respectively. Only three tools (the Korean Dementia Screening Questionnaire, the Picture-based Memory Intelligence Scale, and the revised Hasegawa Dementia Screen) were derived de novo from Asian populations. These tools were assessed in five studies. Highly variable cut-offs were reported for the MMSE (17-29/30) and MoCA (21-26/30), with 13/19 (68%) of studies reporting educational bias. CONCLUSIONS Few cognitive assessment tools have been validated in Asia, with no published validation studies for many Asian nations and languages. In addition, many available tools display educational bias. Future research should include concerted efforts to develop culturally appropriate tools with minimal educational bias.

Abstract
Background Cognitive impairments post-stroke are common. Assessment of cognition typically involves pen-and-paper tasks, which are often reliant on linguistic and motor function, creating barriers for many stroke survivors. The characteristics of stroke survivors excluded from cognitive assessments have never been investigated. Aims ( 1 ) To determine if the stroke samples included in studies evaluating clinimetric properties of cognitive assessments represent the stroke population, ( 2 ) to identify the different modes of cognitive assessments, and ( 3 ) to ascertain whether the different modes of cognitive assessments influence the stroke samples used in the studies. Summary of review We systematically reviewed studies that evaluated at least one clinimetric property of a cognitive assessment in adult stroke survivors from January 2000 to October 2013. Eligibility criteria, reasons for drop-outs and missing data were extracted. A theming process was employed to synthesize the data. From the initial yield of 3731 articles, 109 were included. Six broad categories describing reasons for exclusion were identified. Cognitive impairments were the most common (68%), then communication issues (62%), endurance problems (42%), sensory loss (39%), psychiatric illness (38%) and motor limitations (27%). The most prevalent assessment mode was pen-and-paper (73%), then virtual reality (11%), computer (6%), observational functional performance (5%), informant (3%) and telephone (3%). Regardless of mode, issues with cognition and communication were the most frequently used exclusion criteria. Conclusions Our findings indicate that cognitive assessments are not tested in representative stroke samples. Research is needed to identify valid and reliable cognitive assessments that are feasible in a wider range of stroke survivors.

Abstract
The merit of screening for dementia and cognitive impairment has been the subject of recent debate. One of the main limitations in this regard is the lack of robust evidence to support the many screening tests available. Although plentiful in number, few such instruments have been well validated in the populations for which they are intended to be used. In addition, it is likely that "one size does not fit all" in cognitive screening, leading to the development of many specialised tests for particular types of impairment. In this review, we sought to ascertain the number of screening tools currently available, and to examine the evidence for their validity in detecting different diagnoses in a variety of populations. A further consideration was whether each screen elicited indices of a range of cognitive, affective and functional domains or abilities, as such information is a valuable adjunct to simple cut-off scores. Thirty-nine screens were identified and discussed with reference to three purposes: brief assessment in the doctor's office; large scale community screening programmes; and identifying profiles of impairment across different cognitive, psychiatric and functional domains/abilities, to guide differential diagnosis and further assessment. A small number of screens rated highly for both validity and content. This review is intended to serve as an evaluative resource, to guide clinicians and researchers in choosing among the wide range of screens which are currently available.
