Because of the high impact in daily life it is important to screen for these mild impairments. A compact cognitive screening is not yet available. The aim of this study was to test a compact screening and describe the cognitive status of patients after OHCA. Methods: Survivors of OHCA admitted to the Rijnlands Rehabilitation Centre (RRC), Leiden, The Netherlands, for outpatient cardiac rehabilitation between April 2011 and December 2012. A month after OHCA, cognitive impairments were assessed. Cognitive functioning was measured with Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Cognitive complaints were invested using Cognitive Failure Questionnaire (CFQ) for patients and Informant Questionnaire Cognitive Decline of the Elderly (IQCODE) for informants. Cognitive deficits were defined as MMSE 32 or IQCODE>3.6. CFQ and IQCODE were compared to MMSE. Results: 63 consecutive patients were included, median age 58 years (IQR 44-66 yrs), 81% males. Five patients scored 32 on the CFQ, 2 informants scored >3.6 on the IQCODE. In total, cognitive problems were detected in 12 patients. Where one of the informants scored >3.6 on the IQCODE the patient scored |
