Cognitive Outcomes in Randomized Controlled Trials of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery From 2005 to 2025: A Systematic Review
Cognitive assessment is uncommon in CABG trials, and commonly used tests rarely detect change. Heterogeneity precluded meta-analysis, and high attrition raises concerns about selection and survivorship bias. To evaluate cognitive impact after CABG, trials need standardized, sensitive assessment strategies resilient to attrition and feasible for broad deployment.
