Why the study?
Does computerised cognitive training improve delirium or cognitive function in patients undergoing CABG?
Does computerised cognitive training improve delirium or cognitive function in patients undergoing CABG?
Perioperative computerised cognitive training is feasible but did not significantly reduce post-CABG delirium or cognitive decline in this underpowered study.
No benefit from CCT on post-CABG delirium or cognition; underpowered RCT leaves efficacy open for larger trials.
Adherence to the CCT program was comparatively higher than previous feasibility studies, possibly due to the level of supervision and support provided (blend of face-to-face and home-based training, with support phone calls). Implementing CCT interventions both pre- and post-operatively is feasible in those undergoing CABG. No statistically significant benefits from the CCT interventions were identified for delirium or cognitive function post-CABG, likely due to the sample size available (study recruitment greatly impacted by COVID-19). It also may be the case that multimodal intervention would be more effective.
