Home-based transitional cardiac telerehabilitation in older adults post coronary artery bypass grafting: A randomized controlled trial. Geriatr Nurs 2024; 59:139-149. [PMID: 39002504 DOI: 10.1016/j.gerinurse.2024.06.044] [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: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 06/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/15/2024]
Abstract
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of a 12-week home-based transitional cardiac telerehabilitation (Hb-T-CTR) program on health-related quality-of-life and therapeutic self-care in older adults' post-Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). The intervention group (n = 57) underwent Hb-T-CTR, incorporating preoperative counseling, postoperative education, a culturally adapted video, home visits, and telephone counseling, while the control group (n = 61) received standard care. Using the Coronary Revascularization Outcome Questionnaire and the Sidani Doran Therapeutic Self-Care Measure, data were collected at three time points. Results showed significant improvements in overall scores for both health-related quality of life (t1=3.386, P = 0.001; t2=4.224, P < 0.001) and therapeutic self-care (t1=7.104, P < 0.001; t2=4.242, P < 0.001) in the intervention group compared to controls. This telehealth approach provides convenient and accessible rehabilitation services for older adults' post-CABG and highlights the importance of integrating Hb-T-CTR into routine care for personalized rehabilitation. This study underscores the potential of telehealth tools in overcoming barriers and enhancing patient-centered interventions.

Twelve-month follow-up effects of cognitive training after heart valve surgery on cognitive functions and health-related quality of life: a randomised clinical trial. Open Heart 2023; 10:e002411. [PMID: 38011994 PMCID: PMC10685926 DOI: 10.1136/openhrt-2023-002411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) or decreased health-related quality of life (HQL) have been reported after cardiac surgery. A previous investigation showed beneficial effects of postoperative cognitive training on POCD and HQL 3 months after heart surgery. Here, we present the 12-month follow-up results. METHODS This bicentric, 1:1 randomised and treatment-as-usual controlled trial included elderly patients scheduled for elective heart valve surgery. The training consisted of paper-and-pencil-based exercises practising multiple cognitive functions for 36 min/day 6 days/week over a period of 3 weeks. Neuropsychological tests and questionnaires assessing HQL (36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)) and cognitive failures in daily living (Cognitive Failures Questionnaire) were performed presurgery and 12 months after training. RESULTS Twelve months post training, the training group (n=30) showed improvements in HQL compared with the control group (n=28), especially in role limitations due to physical health (U=-2.447, p=0.015, η2=0.109), role limitations due to emotional problems (U=-2.245, p=0.025, η2=0.092), pain (U=-1.979, p=0.049, η2=0.068), average of all SF-36 factors (U=-3.237, p<0.001, η2=0.181), health change from the past year to the present time (U=-2.091, p=0.037, η2=0.075), physical component summary (U=-2.803, p=0.005, η2=0.138), and mental component summary (U=-2.350, p=0.018, η2=0.095). Furthermore, the training group (n=19) showed an improvement compared with the control group (n=27) in visual recognition memory (U=-2.137, p=0.034, η2=0.099). POCD frequency was 22% (n=6) in the control group and 11% (n=2) in the training group (χ²(1) =1.06, p=0.440; OR=2.43, 95% CI 0.43 to 13.61). CONCLUSION In conclusion, postoperative cognitive training shows enhancing effects on HQL in cardiac surgery patients after 12 months.

Abstract
BACKGROUND More than 1 million individuals undergo cardiothoracic surgery for coronary artery bypass graft or valve repair/replacement annually in the United States. There is an increased risk of developing serious cognitive impairment post cardiothoracic surgery. Pharmacological interventions and surgical techniques were associated with improvements in cognitive function in previous systematic reviews. However, a gap in the literature exists regarding how nonpharmacological interventions can mitigate cognitive impairment in adults undergoing cardiac surgery. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of nonpharmacological interventions to reduce the detrimental effects of cardiac surgery on cognitive function in patients after cardiothoracic surgery. METHODS CINAHL, MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases were searched following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines from January 2011 to February 2022. RESULTS Nineteen studies were included in this review. Researchers defined cognitive impairment differently across studies. Various interventions were used to reduce cognitive impairment post cardiothoracic surgery, with the most common being remote ischemic limb conditioning. The interventions used to reduce cognitive impairment were heterogeneous in outcomes, measurements, and time of assessment, but only 2 interventions were associated with a reduction in cognitive impairment. CONCLUSIONS This review is a unique synthesis of the quality of interventions that address broader components of cognition. Researchers used various interventions to reduce cognitive impairment; the outcomes, instruments, and time interval for measurements were heterogeneous. Researchers should conduct future studies at multiple time intervals, using a comprehensive measure of cognitive impairment to better understand the impact of cognitive impairment interventions postoperatively.

Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To examine the effectiveness of cognitive interventions after general anaesthesia to improve cognitive functioning. BACKGROUND The number of surgical procedures performed worldwide is large and growing. Postoperative cognitive dysfunction is a common complication associated with poor postoperative outcomes. A variety of cognitive interventions have been developed to maintain or improve cognitive function in one or more cognitive domains. Cognitive interventions have shown to be effective in healthy older populations, those with mild cognitive impairment, and those with heart failure. The impact of cognitive interventions in surgical patients after general anaesthesia is a relatively new focus of research and is therefore less well established. METHODS Seven bibliographic databases were searched in relation to 'surgery' and 'cognitive interventions'; no date or language limits were imposed. Studies including adult patients who were scheduled for, or who had undergone surgery under general anaesthesia, had a baseline cognitive assessment using a validated measurement, and had engaged with any cognition-based intervention were included. Full-text review for inclusion, quality assessment and data extraction were undertaken independently by two authors. This study is reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. RESULTS A total of 550 papers were identified for possible inclusion, of which nine met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. The majority were randomised controlled trials (RCTs) (n = 6 [66.7%]). Four studies used computerised cognitive interventions, while five used traditional cognitive interventions. Most of the studies used multi-domain cognitive training focusing on two or more domains (n = 7 [77.8%]) while two studies used single-domain cognitive training. Memory (n = 7 [77.8%]) and attention (n = 5 [55.6%]) were the cognitive domains most often targeted during the intervention. CONCLUSIONS The use of cognitive interventions demonstrated some efficacy in improving cognitive function after general anaesthesia, particularly those targeting memory. RELEVANCE FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE The findings of this review suggest that cognitive interventions show promise at improving cognitive performance in patients with POCD and could be usefully implemented in clinical practice to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart surgery is a risk factor for objectively and subjectively assessable postoperative cognitive decline (POCD), which is relevant for everyday life. The aim of this study was to investigate whether early postoperative cognitive training has an impact on health-related quality of life and cognitive failures in daily living after cardiac surgery. METHODS The study was a two-arm, randomized, controlled, outcome-blinded trial involving older patients undergoing elective heart valve surgery with extracorporeal circulation (ECC). Recruitment took place at the Departments of Cardiac Surgery of the Kerckhoff Clinic in Bad Nauheim (Germany) and the University Hospital in Giessen (Germany). The patients were randomized (1:1 ratio) to either a paper-and-pencil-based cognitive training group or a control group. We applied the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) prior to surgery and 3 months after the cognitive training. Data were analyzed in a per-protocol fashion. RESULTS Three months after discharge from rehabilitation, the training group (n = 31) showed improvement in health-related quality of life compared to the control group (n = 29), especially in role limitations due to emotional problems (U = -2.649, p = .008, η2 = 0.121), energy and fatigue (F[2.55] = 5.72, p = .020, η2 = 0.062), social functioning (U = -2.137, p = .033, η2 = 0.076), the average of all SF-36 factors (U = -2.374, p = .018, η2 = 0.094), health change from the past year to the present time (U = -2.378, p = .017, η2 = 0.094), and the mental component summary (U = -2.470, p = .013, η2 = 0.102). CONCLUSION As our cognitive training has shown beneficial effects, this intervention could be a promising method to enhance health-related quality of life after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
The aim of the study. To determine the informational value of psychometric indicators used for the integral assessment of cognitive status in cardiac patients, and to find those that would help differentiate the individual sensibility to postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD).Materials and methods. The clustering methods were analyzed the extended psychometric testing data in 256 cardiac surgery patients. The psychometric testing carried out 3–5 days before and on days 7–10 after surgery using the psychophysiological complex program “Status PF”.Results. The cluster analysis revealed that the most informative tests for a screening risk assessment of POCD are the testing the speed of response to visual stimuli with feedback of changes in the stimuli exposition according to the individual reaction time and the testing short-term memory (memorized words). While the analysis of postoperative psychometric indicators, the patients in a modified clustering group were characterized by a deterioration of verbal memory and a decrease of the time reaction to visual stimuli whereas that its observed acceleration in the general “stable” group.Conclusion. The clustering methods enabled the identification of cardiac surgery patients in the preoperative stage who had less cognitive reserve for recovery after surgery. The changes in the relationship of complex visual and motor response, attention, and memory indicators, which depended on the belonging to the identified clusters, suggest that the preoperative period is characterized by the dedifferentiation of cognitive functions indicating a cognitive deficit.

Abstract
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) might adversely affect the health status of the patients, producing cognitive deterioration, with depression being the most common symptom. The aim of this study is to analyse the prevalence of depression in patients before and after coronary artery bypass surgery. A systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out, involving a study of the past 10 years of the following databases: CINAHL, LILACS, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, SciELO, Scopus, and Web of Science. The total sample comprised n = 16,501 patients. The total number of items was n = 65, with n = 29 included in the meta-analysis. Based on the different measurement tools used, the prevalence of depression pre-CABG ranges from 19-37%, and post-CABG from 15-33%. There is a considerable presence of depression in this type of patient, but this varies according to the measurement tool used and the quality of the study. Systematically detecting depression prior to cardiac surgery could identify patients at potential risk.
