What is the longitudinal trajectory of neurocognitive function after coronary-artery bypass surgery?
Patients undergoing Coronary-Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG)
Coronary-Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG)
Neurocognitive function / cognitive decline
Cognitive decline after CABG is prevalent and persistent, with early postoperative decline predicting later deterioration, highlighting the need for preventive interventions.
These results confirm the relatively high prevalence and persistence of cognitive decline after CABG and suggest a pattern of early improvement followed by a later decline that is predicted by the presence of early postoperative cognitive decline. Interventions to prevent or reduce short- and long-term cognitive decline after cardiac surgery are warranted.
