Cognitive outcome as part and parcel of clinical outcome in brain tumor surgery

Abstract: Although validated tools (neuropsychological tests, patient reported outcomes, mood and psychological profile) were first introduced many years ago in clinical practice, the impact of the tumor itself on patient cognition has not been extensively studied. Furthermore, while outcome research is evolving in an attempt to adapt the use of different tools to the preoperative and postoperative phases, the standard guidelines for evaluating outcome after brain surgery, by neurological examination and complication as… Show more

“…3–6 months and 6–12 months [ 46 , 57 ]. Deficits at 3–4 months postoperatively are considered ‘transient, compared with ‘persistent’ at 6 months and ‘permanent’ at 12 months [ 63 ], hence, one should aim for a minimal time range as possible between test-moments across patients, not exceeding these aforementioned different recovery phases. In summary, the assessment of all cognitive domains combined with a comparison between all available test-moments with a minimal time range is necessary to obtain a valuable cognitive profile of patients.…”

“…Several investigators already pointed out the relevance of extensive cognitive testing in glioma patients before surgery with a follow-up [ 31 , 43 , 49 , 63 ]. However, detailed complete analyses on the effects of extensive surgery on the main cognitive domains, such as language, memory, attention, executive functions and visuospatial abilities is not standard procedure in patients with eloquent area gliomas.…”

“…This combination of neuropsychological tests has been shown to be sensitive for detecting cognitive deficits and was validated in earlier studies in patients with glioma. 24,26,31 All test results of the patients were transformed into z-scores to compare the performance of patients to a normative group and to facilitate comparisons between tests.…”

“…The selection of the type of language paradigms during DES procedures is of crucial importance because of its direct effect on clinical outcome (Hamberger, Seidel, Mckhann, Perrine, & Goodman, 2005). Therefore the sensitivity of each language task used during DES needs to be investigated (Satoer et al, 2012;Talacchi, Santini, Savazzi, & Gerosa, 2011;Talacchi et al, 2012;Teixidor et al, 2007). We attempted to achieve this goal by developing for the first time a Dutch standardised neurolinguistic test battery for awake surgery in critical language areas.…”
