Postoperative Cognitive Decline, Inflammation, and Plasma Levels of Beta-amyloids
Postoperative Cognitive Decline, Inflammation, and Plasma Levels of Beta-amyloids.
Study Overview
Status
Detailed Description
We will recruit 50 patients 65 years and older scheduled for spine surgery. The design utilizes prospective serial assessments. The enrolled 50 surgical subjects will be evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively over 6 time-points (preoperatively, inta-op, post op day 1, post op day 7, three months and six months) using a widely accepted set of neurocognitive tests, multiple indices of functional recovery, as well as blood tests for plasma biomarkers of inflammation and β-amyloids. Enrollees will be divided in 2 groups: 25 patients with mild cognitive impairment (diagnosed by clinical assessment) and 25 normal elderly patients.
The definition of normal elderly includes: 1). Global Deterioration Scale (GDS) < 3 and Mini-Mental Exam Score (MMSE) >27; 2). Performance on neurocognitive testing (including memory) that is within 1.5 Standard Deviation (SD) of the age matched normative data; 3). The informant interview confirming no functional impairment in the subject. The definition of MCI includes: self-reported memory and functional complains, a history of memory decline with functional changes that are corroborated by a knowledgeable informant, and a clinical interview resulting in a GDS=3 or higher and MMSE=26 or lower.
