To determine the neurological outcome of targeted temperature management (TTM)for patients scoring lower than 8 on the Glasgow coma scale (GCS) upon return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest. Retrospective cohort study. Department of Anaesthesiology and Reanimation, Sakarya University Education And Research Hospital, Sakarya, Turkey from January 2018 to October 2019. Data of patients hospitalised in the AnaesthesiaIntensive Care unit for cardiac arrest receiving TTM and standard supportive therapy were analysed. Neurological outcome was evaluated with cerebral performance category (CPC) scores. Hospital stay and 30-day mortality was also noted. Data from 58 patients were analysed; 31 had received standard supportive therapy (non-TTM group) and 27 were treated with TTM (TTM group). There was no significant difference in hospital stay and patients' 30-day mortality between the two groups. The number of patients in the TTM group with CPC scores of 1 and 2, rated as a good neurological result, was significantly higher (n=11,40.7%) than in the non-TTM group (n=2, 6.5%;p=0.002). The number of patients with CPC scores of 3 and 4, rated as having a neurological disability,was higher in the non-TTM group (n = 9, 29%) than in the TTM group (n=1, 3.7%). Neurological results were better in the TTM group of patients with ROSC. However, there was no significant difference in mortality between the TTMand non-TTM groups.

Its objective assessment at initial patient contact in primary care can lead to better adjusted and timely care with personalised treatment and recovery. To enable this, we designed the Mindmore self-administrative cognitive screening battery. What is presented here is normative data for the Mindmore battery for the Swedish population. A total of 720 healthy adults (17 to 93 years) completed the Mindmore screening battery, which consists of 14 individual tests across five cognitive domains attention and processing speed, memory, language, visuospatial functions and executive functions. Regression-based normative data were established for 42 test result measures, investigating linear, non-linear and interaction effects between age, education and sex. The test results were most affected by age and to a lesser extent by education and sex. All but one test displayed either linear or accelerated age-related decline, or a U-shaped association with age. Quinine ic50 All but two tests showed beneficial effects of education, either linear or subsiding after 12 years of educational attainment. Sex affected tests in the memory and executive domains. In three tests, an interaction between age and education revealed an increased benefit of education later in life. This study provides normative models for 14 traditional cognitive tests adapted for self-administration through a digital platform. The models will enable more accurate interpretation of test results, hopefully leading to improved clinical decision making and better care for patients with cognitive impairment.
