Association between clinician reported outcome and patient reported outcome measures one year after stroke.

Objectives: Patient reported outcome measures (PROM) are increasingly important in the evaluation of care. In this study we evaluate patient PROM in stroke patients and the association with clinical reported outcomes.

Materials And Methods: Of 3706 first-ever stroke patients, 1861 were discharged home and invited to fill out PROM at discharge, 90 days and one-year after stroke.

MRI factors associated with cognitive functioning after acute onset brain injury: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Impairments of memory, attention, and executive functioning are frequently reported after acute onset brain injury. MRI markers hold potential to contribute to identification of patients at risk for cognitive impairments and clarification of mechanisms. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize and value the evidence on MRI markers of memory, attention, and executive functioning after acute onset brain injury.

Predicting Long-Term Cognitive Impairments in Survivors after Cardiac Arrest: A Systematic Review.

Objective: International guidelines recommend early screening for identification of patients who are at risk of long-term cognitive impairments after cardiac arrest. However, information about predictors is not provided. A systematic review of the literature was performed to identify early predictors of long-term cognitive outcome after cardiac arrest.

Relevance of Somatosensory Evoked Potential Amplitude After Cardiac Arrest.

We present relations of SSEP amplitude with neurological outcome and of SSEP amplitude with EEG amplitude in comatose patients after cardiac arrest. This is a analysis of a prospective cohort study in comatose patients after cardiac arrest. Amplitude of SSEP recordings obtained within 48-72 h, and EEG patterns obtained at 12 and 24h after cardiac arrest were related to good (CPC 1-2) or poor (CPC 3-5) outcome at 6 months.

Association between somatosensory evoked potentials and EEG in comatose patients after cardiac arrest.

Objective: To analyze the association between SSEP results and EEG results in comatose patients after cardiac arrest, including the added value of repeated SSEP measurements.

Methods: Continuous EEG was measured in 619 patients during the first 3-5 days after cardiac arrest. SSEPs were recorded daily in the first 55 patients, and on indication in later patients.
