Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a sub-study to the large pragmatic Target Temperature Management 2 Trial (TTM2-trial, ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02908308), assessing effectiveness of controlled hypothermia after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This study is designed to provide detailed information on cognition after OHCA and its relationship to associated factors as emotional function, fatigue, and sleep. A secondary aim is to utilize this information to validate a neurocognitive screening battery used 6 months after OHCA in the TTM2-trial. Approximately 7 and 24 months after OHCA, survivors at selected TTM2 study sites will perform a standardized neuropsychological assessment including performance-based tests of cognition and questionnaires of behavioral and emotional function, fatigue, and insomnia. At 1:1 ratio, a control group of myocardial infarction (MI) patients but no occurrence of cardiac arrest will be recruited and perform the same test battery. Group differences at 7 and 24 months will be analyzed per cognitive domain (verbal, visual/constructive, short-term working memory, episodic memory, processing speed, executive functions). Results of the OHCA survivors on the TTM2 neurocognitive screening battery will be compared with neuropsychological test results at 7 months time.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Change in cognitive function Longitudinal change in cognitive function in OHCA and MI patients, analyzed with a mixed model regression. 7 months, 24 months after the cardiac event
Primary Cognitive impairment Cognitive function in OHCA and MI patients, using composite z-scores from the neuropsychological tests grouped by cognitive domain. 7 months after the cardiac event
Secondary Sensitivity and specificity of the neurocognitive screening battery in the main TTM2-trial Validation of the neurocognitive screening battery in OHCA patients, using the detailed neuropsychological test battery as a gold standard with sensitivity and specificity analyses. Here, patients will be considered to have a cognitive impairment if they meet any of the following criteria on the neuropsychological tests: 1) an impaired composite z-score defined as z = - 1.65 in at least one cognitive domain; 2) z = - 1.65 in at least two scores used for cognitive domain calculation. Cut-scores for indicated impairment on the neurocognitive screening battery will be < 26 on the MoCA, z=-1 on the SDMT, =3.08 on the IQCODE-CA and the answer "no" to question 2 at the TSQ. 7 months post-arrest
