A Remote Comprehensive Neurocognitive Test Battery to Monitor Postoperative Neurocognitive Dysfunction in Older Adults: A Prospective Observational Study
Current detection of perioperative cognitive outcomes in older adults rely on in-person cognitive assessments that are varied in methodology and often lack sensitivity and specificityThe UDS v3.0 T-cog identified objective cognitive decline in 17% of patients after orthopedic arthroplasty while also detecting early non-memory cognitive decline through the more comprehensive test battery with high participant satisfaction and retention, supporting remote assessment feasibility.These findings suggest that remote comprehensive cognitive assessments are an effective tool to provide early detection and risk stratification for perioperative neurocognitive dysfunction in older patients.
