Survivorship After Neurocritical Care: A Scoping Review of Outcomes Beyond Physical Status. Neurocrit Care 2024:10.1007/s12028-024-01965-9. [PMID: 38622487 DOI: 10.1007/s12028-024-01965-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024]
Abstract
Following intensive care unit hospitalization, survivors of acute neurological injury often experience debilitating short-term and long-term impairments. Although the physical/motor impairments experienced by survivors of acute neurological injury have been described extensively, fewer studies have examined cognitive, mental health, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and employment outcomes. This scoping review describes the publication landscape beyond physical and/or motor sequelae in neurocritical care survivors. Databases were searched for terms related to critical illness, intensive care, and outcomes from January 1970 to March 2022. English-language studies of critically ill adults with a primary neurological diagnosis were included if they reported on at least one outcome of interest: cognition, mental health, HRQoL or employment. Data extraction was performed in duplicate for prespecified variables related to study outcomes. Of 16,036 abstracts screened, 74 citations were identified for inclusion. The studies encompassed seven worldwide regions and eight neurocritical diagnosis categories. Publications reporting outcomes of interest increased from 3 before the year 2000 to 71 after. Follow-up time points included ≤ 1 (n = 15 [20%] citations), 3 (n = 28 [38%]), 6 (n = 28 [38%]), and 12 (n = 21 [28%]) months and 1 to 5 (n = 19 [26%]) and > 5 years (n = 8 [11%]), with 28 (38%) citations evaluating outcomes at multiple time points. Sixty-six assessment tools were used to evaluate the four outcomes of interest: 22 evaluating HRQoL (56 [76%] citations), 21 evaluating cognition (20 [27%] citations), 21 evaluating mental health (18 [24%] citations), and 2 evaluating employment (9 [12%] citations). This scoping review aimed to better understand the literature landscape regarding nonphysical outcomes in survivors of neurocritical care. Although a rising number of publications highlight growing awareness, future efforts are needed to improve study consistency and comparability and characterize outcomes in a disease-specific manner, including outlining of a minimum core outcomes set and associated assessment tools.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is associated with high mortality and poor disability outcome. Data on quality of life (QoL) among survivors are scarce because patients with poor-grade aSAH are underrepresented in clinical studies reporting on QoL after aSAH. OBJECTIVE To provide prospective QoL data on survivors of poor-grade aSAH to aid clinical decision making and counseling of relatives. METHODS The herniation World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies scale study was a prospective observational multicenter study in patients with poor-grade (World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies grades 4 & 5) aSAH. We collected data during a structured telephone interview 6 and 12 months after ictus. QoL was measured using the EuroQoL - 5 Dimensions - 3 Levels (EQ-5D-3L) questionnaire, with 0 representing a health state equivalent to death and 1 to perfect health. Disability outcome for favorable and unfavorable outcomes was measured with the modified Rankin Scale. RESULTS Two hundred-fifty patients were enrolled, of whom 237 were included in the analysis after 6 months and 223 after 12 months. After 6 months, 118 (49.8%) patients were alive, and after 12 months, 104 (46.6%) patients were alive. Of those, 95 (80.5%) and 89 (85.6%) reached a favorable outcome with mean EQ-5D-3L index values of 0.85 (±0.18) and 0.86 (±0.18). After 6 and 12 months, 23 (19.5%) and 15 (14.4%) of those alive had an unfavorable outcome with mean EQ-5D-3L index values of 0.27 (±0.25) and 0.19 (±0.14). CONCLUSION Despite high initial mortality, the proportion of poor-grade aSAH survivors with good QoL is reasonably large. Only a minority of survivors reports poor QoL and requires permanent care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In nonambulatory children with predominantly spastic cerebral palsy (CP), the authors compared care needs, symptom burden, and complications after surgical treatment with either intrathecal baclofen (ITB) pump insertion or selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR). The patients were treated at two Canadian centers with variability in practice pertaining to these surgical options. METHODS The authors performed a retrospective analysis of nonambulatory children with predominantly spastic quadriplegic or diplegic CP who underwent treatment with ITB or SDR. These two strategies were retrospectively assessed by comparing patient data from the two treatment groups for demographic characteristics, outcomes, and complications. A partial least-squares analysis was performed to identify patient phenotypes associated with outcomes. RESULTS Thirty patients who underwent ITB and 30 patients who underwent SDR were included for analysis. Patients in the ITB group were older and had lower baseline functional status, with greater burdens of spasticity, dystonia, pain, deformity, bladder dysfunction, and epilepsy than patients in the SDR group. In addition, children who underwent SDR had lower Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels and were less likely to experience complications than those who underwent ITB. However, children treated with SDR had fewer improvements in pain than children treated with ITB. A single significant latent variable explaining 88% of the variance in the data was identified. CONCLUSIONS Considerable baseline differences exist within this pediatric CP patient population. Factors specific to individual children must be taken into account when determining whether ITB or SDR is the appropriate treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Psychological distress is a common complication in patients after Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) which often has significant impact on the prognosis. The objective of this study was to determine the pooled prevalence of anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms in patients after SAH and identify relevant risk factors. METHODS The study adopted a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol. Multiple databases including EMBASE, Medline, PsychInfo, and Web of Science were searched for publications before 1st January 2020. Screening, data extraction, and quality assessment were undertaken following the PRISMA guidelines for preferred reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analysis. The random-effects model was used to calculate pooled prevalence rates. Meta-analysis was conducted using Comprehensive Meta-analysis software. The review protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42020182594). RESULTS 42 studies reporting anxiety symptoms and 64 studies reporting depressive symptoms were included. The pooled short term(<3 years) and long term(≥3 years) prevalence rates of anxiety symptoms were 31.4%(95% CI: 23.6%, 40.4%) and 40.4%(95% CI: 31.6%, 49.8%), respectively, whereas the pooled short term and long term prevalence rates of depressive symptoms were 25.2%(95%CI: 17.8%, 34.5%) and 35.8%(95%CI: 28.6%, 43.6%), respectively. Gender and pre-existing psychiatric conditions were identified as potential risk factors. CONCLUSIONS The high prevalence of anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms after SAH highlights the need for appropriate assessment and management of psychological stress in patients after SAH. Further research is warranted to explore potential underlying mechanisms and to develop holistic interventions that incorporate understanding of both the biological and psychological impact of SAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with high rates of morbidity, including neurological and cognitive deficits that may be difficult to identify and quantify. This review provides an update on the cognitive deficits that may result from spontaneous aneurysmal SAH (aSAH) and identifies factors that may help predict and manage these deficits at discharge and thereafter. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a systematic review of PubMed and Google Scholar to identify studies published between 2010 and 2019 that assessed cognitive deficits at discharge and during follow-up in patients with aSAH. Full-text articles were assessed for information regarding cognitive testing and factors that may be associated with functional outcomes in this population. RESULTS We reviewed 65 studies published since 2010 that described the cognitive deficits associated with non-traumatic aSAH. Such deficits may impact functional outcomes, quality of life, and return to work and may result in cognitive impairments, such as memory difficulties, speech problems, and psychiatric disorders. CONCLUSIONS Patients with aSAH, even those that appear normal at the time of hospital discharge, may harbor cognitive deficits that are difficult to detect, yet can interfere with daily functioning. Further research is needed to provide additional information and to identify stronger correlations to be used in the identification, treatment, and amelioration of long-term cognitive deficits in aSAH patients, including those who are discharged with good clinical outcomes scores.

A partial least squares analysis of functional status, disability, and quality of life after surgical decompression for degenerative cervical myelopathy. Sci Rep 2020; 10:16132. [PMID: 32999299 PMCID: PMC7527550 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-72595-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2020] [Accepted: 07/30/2020] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Previous studies aimed at identifying predictors of clinical outcomes following surgical decompression for degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) are limited by multicollinearity among predictors, whereby the high degree of correlation between covariates precludes detection of potentially significant findings. We apply partial least squares (PLS), a data-driven approach, to model multi-dimensional variance and dissociate patient phenotypes associated with functional, disability, and quality of life (QOL) outcomes in DCM. This was a post-hoc analysis of DCM patients enrolled in the prospective, multi-center AOSpine CSM-NA/CSM-I studies. Baseline clinical covariates evaluated as predictors included demographic (e.g., age, sex), clinical presentation (e.g., signs and symptoms), and treatment (e.g., surgical approach) characteristics. Outcomes evaluated included change in functional status (∆mJOA), disability (∆NDI), and QOL (∆SF-36) at 2 years. PLS was used to derive latent variables (LVs) relating specific clinical covariates with specific outcomes. Statistical significance was estimated using bootstrapping. Four hundred and seventy-eight patients met eligibility criteria. PLS identified 3 significant LVs. LV1 indicated an association between presentation with hand muscle atrophy, treatment by an approach other than laminectomy alone, and greater improvement in physical health-related QOL outcomes (e.g., SF-36 Physical Component Summary). LV2 suggested the presence of comorbidities (respiratory, rheumatologic, psychological) was associated with lesser improvements in functional status post-operatively (i.e., mJOA score). Finally, LV3 reflected an association between more severe myelopathy presenting with gait impairment and poorer mental health-related QOL outcomes (e.g., SF-36 Mental Component Summary). Using PLS, this analysis uncovered several novel insights pertaining to patients undergoing surgical decompression for DCM that warrant further investigation: (1) comorbid status and frailty heavily impact functional outcome; (2) presentation with hand muscle atrophy is associated with better physical QOL outcomes; and (3) more severe myelopathy with gait impairment is associated with poorer mental QOL outcomes.

Abstract
After years of research on treatment of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), including randomized clinical trials, few treatments have been shown to be efficacious. Nevertheless, reductions in morbidity and mortality have occurred over the last decades. Reasons for the improved outcomes remain unclear. One randomized clinical trial that has been examined in detail with these questions in mind is Clazosentan to Overcome Neurological Ischemia and Infarction Occurring After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (CONSCIOUS-1). This was a phase-2 trial testing the effect of clazosentan on angiographic vasospasm (aVSP) in patients with aSAH. Clazosentan decreased moderate to severe aVSP. There was no statistically significant effect on the extended Glasgow outcome score (GOS), although the study was not powered for this endpoint. Data from the approximately 400 patients in the study were detailed, rigorously collected and documented and were generously made available to one investigator. Post-hoc analyses were conducted which have expanded our knowledge of the management of aSAH. We review those analyses here.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to use the modified Delphi method to identify the influencing factors of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) after endovascular treatment. Methods A modified Delphi method to obtain expert consensus on the content of potential influencing factors of HRQoL in patients with UIAs treated by endovascular intervention was employed. The research team consists of three neuroradiologists and one epidemiologist from Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University. They randomly selected 21 well-known experts in cerebrovascular disease diagnosis and treatment as participating experts. The importance of the indicator is based on the 5-Likert scale. The standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), mean (\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

The consistency was described by Kendall coefficient of concordance with a p value < 0.05 indicating that the expert consistency was high. Result Twenty-one and 18 questionnaires were responded in 2 rounds, with effective response rates of 85.7% and 100.0%, respectively. The average authoritative coefficient (Cr) of all 21 experts was 0.88, familiarity with the indicators (Cs) was 0.82, and the judgment basis of the indicators (Ca) was 0.94.

Clinical phenotypes associated with outcomes following deep brain stimulation for childhood dystonia. J Neurosurg Pediatr 2019; 24:442-450. [PMID: 31299640 DOI: 10.3171/2019.5.peds1973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2019] [Accepted: 05/08/2019] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an accepted treatment for childhood dystonia, there is significant heterogeneity in treatment response and few data are available to identify ideal surgical candidates. METHODS Data were derived from a systematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis of DBS for dystonia in children that was previously published. Outcomes were assessed using the Burke-Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale for movement (BFMDRS-M) and for disability (BFMDRS-D). The authors used partial least squares, bootstrapping, and permutation statistics to extract patterns of contributions of specific preoperative characteristics to relationship with distinct outcomes, in all patients and in patients with primary and secondary dystonia separately. RESULTS Of 301 children undergoing DBS for dystonia, 167 had primary dystonia, 125 secondary dystonia, and 9 myoclonus dystonia. Three dissociable preoperative phenotypes (latent variables) were identified and associated with the following: 1) BFMDRS-M at last follow-up; 2) relative change in BFMDRS-M score; and 3) relative change in BFMDRS-D score. The phenotype of patients with secondary dystonia, with a high BFMDRS-M score and truncal involvement, undergoing DBS at a younger age, was associated with a worse postoperative BFMDRS-M score. Children with primary dystonia involving the trunk had greater improvement in BFMDRS-M and -D scores. Those with primary dystonia of shorter duration and proportion of life with disease, undergoing globus pallidus DBS, had greater improvements in BFMDRS-D scores at long-term follow-up. CONCLUSIONS In a comprehensive, data-driven, multivariate analysis of DBS for childhood dystonia, the authors identified novel and dissociable patient phenotypes associated with distinct outcomes. The findings of this report may inform surgical candidacy for DBS.

Relative health-related quality of life after treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms: long-term outcomes and influencing factors. Ther Adv Neurol Disord 2019; 12:1756286419833492. [PMID: 30886649 PMCID: PMC6410394 DOI: 10.1177/1756286419833492] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2018] [Accepted: 12/02/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is an important clinical outcome parameter. Its analysis is particularly meaningful to patients with minor functional impairment. The main goal of this study was to assess long-term data of HRQOL and their variables for patients undergoing treatment for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs). Therefore, a cross-sectional study of HRQOL (SF-36 questionnaire) was conducted in patients treated for UIA using a telephone survey assessing numerous medical and sociodemographic variables. A total of 96 patients with a follow up longer than 36 months post-treatment were included. HRQOL results were compared with the German reference population. Uni- and multivariate analyses were performed to detect variables with an impact on outcome. After a mean follow up of 57.75 ± 13.56 months, patients with treated UIAs showed a significant decrease in the mental health domains ‘role emotional’ and ‘social functioning’ and the ‘mental health component score’ (MHCS) compared with the age- and sex-matched reference population. Overall, 47% of the patients showed a clinically and psychosocially relevant decrease compared with the mean MHCS of the reference population. Multivariate analysis suggests that mainly the treatment modality (coiling versus clipping) and additional remaining untreated UIAs negatively impacted mental HRQOL. In conclusion, the partly significant losses in HRQOL identify the necessity for less-wearing treatment strategies and a better prediction of risk of UIA rupture. Our results indicate that certain factors in the guidance and management of patients undergoing endovascular treatment may negatively affect their mental HRQOL. The relevance of additional UIAs remaining untreated on HRQOL is a new finding that should be considered in the counseling of patients with multiple UIAs.

Patient phenotypes associated with outcome following surgery for mild degenerative cervical myelopathy: a principal component regression analysis. Spine J 2018; 18:2220-2231. [PMID: 29746963 DOI: 10.1016/j.spinee.2018.05.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2017] [Revised: 04/04/2018] [Accepted: 05/01/2018] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Predictors of outcome after surgery for degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) have been determined previously through hypothesis-driven multivariate statistical models that rely on a priori knowledge of potential confounders, exclude potentially important variables because of restrictions in model building, cannot include highly collinear variables in the same model, and ignore intrinsic correlations among variables. PURPOSE The present study aimed to apply a data-driven approach to identify patient phenotypes that may predict outcomes after surgery for mild DCM. STUDY DESIGN This is a principal component analysis of data from two related prospective, multicenter cohort studies. PATIENT SAMPLE The study included patients with mild DCM, defined by a modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association score of 15-17, undergoing surgical decompression as part of the AOSpine CSM-NA or CSM-I trials. OUTCOME MEASURES Patient outcomes were evaluated preoperatively at baseline and at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after surgery. Quality of life (QOL) was evaluated by the Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Short Form-36 version 2 (SF-36v2). These are both patient self-reported measures that evaluate health-related QOL, with NDI being specific to neck conditions and SF-36v2 being a generic instrument. MATERIALS AND METHODS The analysis included 154 patients. A heterogeneous correlation matrix was created using a combination of Pearson, polyserial, and polychoric regressions among 67 variables, which then underwent eigen decomposition. Scores of significant principal components (PCs) (with eigenvalues>1) were included in multivariate logistic regression analyses for three dichotomous outcomes of interest: achievement of the minimum clinically important difference [MCID] in (1) NDI (≤-7.5), (2) SF-36v2 Physical Component Summary (PCS) score (≥5), and (3) SF-36v2 Mental Component Summary (MCS) score (≥5). RESULTS Twenty-four significant PCs accounting for 75% of the variance in the data were identified. Two PCs were associated with achievement of the MCID in NDI. The first (PC 1) was dominated by variables related to surgical approach and number of operated levels; the second (PC 21) consisted of variables related to patient demographics, severity and etiology of DCM, comorbid status, and surgical approach. Both PC 1 and PC 21 also correlated with SF-36v2 PCS score, in addition to PC 4, which described patients' physical profile, including gender, height, and weight, as well as comorbid renal disease; PC 6, which received large loadings from variables related to cardiac disease, impaired mobility, and length of surgery and recovery; and PC 9, which harbored large contributions from features of upper limb dysfunction, cardiorespiratory disease, surgical approach, and region. In addition to PC 21, a component profiling patients' socioeconomic status and support systems and degree of physical disability (PC 24) was associated with achievement of the MCID in SF-36 MCS score. CONCLUSIONS Through a data-driven approach, we identified several phenotypes associated with disability and physical and mental health-related QOL. Such data reduction methods may separate patient-, disease-, and treatment-related variables more accurately into clinically meaningful phenotypes that may inform patient care and recruitment into clinical trials.
