Cognitive outcome after off-pump and on-pump Coronary artery bypass graft surgery a Randomized trial

TLDR
Patients who received their first CABG surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass had improved cognitive outcomes 3 months after the procedure, but the effects were limited and became negligible at 12 months.
Abstract
ContextCoronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is associated with a decline in cognitive function, which has largely been attributed to the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (on-pump procedures) Cardiac stabilizers facilitate CABG surgery without use of cardiopulmonary bypass (off-pump procedures) and should reduce the cognitive decline associated with on-pump proceduresObjectiveTo compare the effect of CABG surgery with (on-pump) and without (off-pump) cardiopulmonary bypass on cognitive outcomeDesign and SettingRandomized controlled trial conducted in the Netherlands of CABG surgery patients enrolled from March 1998 through August 2000, with 3- and 12-month follow-upParticipants and InterventionPatients scheduled for their first CABG surgery (mean age, 61 years; n = 281) were randomly assigned to off-pump surgery (n = 142) or on-pump surgery (n = 139)Main Outcome MeasuresCognitive outcome at 3 and 12 months, which was determined by psychologists (blinded for randomization) who administered 10 neuropsychological tests before and after surgery Quality of life, stroke rate, and all-cause mortality at 3 and 12 months were secondary outcome measuresResultsCognitive outcome could be determined at 3 months in 248 patients Cognitive decline occurred in 21% in the off-pump group and 29% in the on-pump group (relative risk [RR], 065; 95% confidence interval [CI], 036-116; P = 15) The overall standardized change score (ie, improvement of cognitive performance) was 019 in the off-pump vs 013 in the on-pump group (P = 03) At 12 months, cognitive decline occurred in 308% in the off-pump group and 336% in the on-pump group (RR, 088; 95% CI, 052-149; P = 69) The overall standardized change score was 019 in the off-pump vs 012 in the on-pump group (P = 09) No statistically significant differences were observed between the on-pump and off-pump groups in quality of life, stroke rate, or all-cause mortality at 3 and 12 monthsConclusionPatients who received their first CABG surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass had improved cognitive outcomes 3 months after the procedure, but the effects were limited and became negligible at 12 months

Interobserver agreement for the assessment of handicap in stroke patients.

TL;DR: The results confirm the value of the modified Rankin scale in the assessment of handicap in stroke patients; nevertheless, further improvements are possible.
