Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to clarify the changes of neurocognitive function of patients undergoing cardiac valve disease before and after surgical treatment under cardiopulmonary bypass operation, and to predict the neurological prognosis of such patients through combined imaging technology, so as to improve and avoid the occurrence of postoperative neurological dysfunction in such patients.

Detailed description

This study focuses on brain protection in patients with heart disease. The preoperative brain imaging and consciousness and cognition evaluation results, intraoperative brain monitoring indicators, adverse events of neurological function, brain imaging and consciousness and cognition evaluation results during the postoperative and follow-up periods were recorded. At the same time, serum markers related to perioperative neurological function were obtained to explore the relevant factors affecting neurocognitive function during the perioperative period. The research objectives to investigate the perioperative changes of neurocognitive function in patients undergoing heart valve surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass and the related factors affecting the prognosis of neurocognitive function.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change of brain volume before and after operationbefore operation; 7-10 Days after operation; 1 month; 6-12monthsThe change of brain volume (mm3) are evaluated by structural 3DT1 weighted MRI. Freesurfer software is used to get the measured value of the volume.
Change of brain function connectivity before and after operationbefore operation; 7-10 Days after operation; 1 month; 6-12monthsThe change of brain functional connectivity intensity are evaluated by rest stage functional MRI. DPABI software based on MATLAB is used to get the measured the matrix value of functional connectivity.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change of executive functions before and after operation evaluated by Digit Symbol Coding scorebefore operation; 7-10 Days after operation; 1 month; 6-12monthsThe change of executive functions are second evaluated by Digit Symbol Coding score. The minimum value is 0 , and the maximum value is not clear. The normal range of results is 56.53 ± 20.17. The higher scores mean a better outcome.
Change of working memory before and after operation evaluated by Forward Digit Spanbefore operation; 7-10 Days after operation; 1 month; 6-12monthsThe change of working memory is first evaluated by Forward Digit Span. The minimum value is 0 , and the maximum value is not clear. The normal range of results is 7.75±1.47. The higher scores mean a better outcome.
Change of working memory before and after operation evaluated by Backward Digit Spanbefore operation; 7-10 Days after operation; 1 month; 6-12monthsThe change of working memory is second evaluated by Backward Digit Span. The minimum value is 0 , and the maximum value is not clear. The normal range of results is 5.36±1.91. The higher scores mean a better outcome.
Change of language ability before and after operationbefore operation; 7-10 Days after operation; 1 month; 6-12monthsThe change of language ability is evaluated by Chinese Version Verbal Fluency Test. The minimum value is 0 , and the maximum value is not clear. The normal range of results is 19.43±4.81. The higher scores mean a better outcome.
Change of brain evaluate basic cognition before and after operationbefore operation; 7-10 Days after operation; 1 month; 6-12monthsThe change of basic cognition is evaluated by Mini-mental State Examination. The minimum value is 0 , and the maximum value is 30. The higher scores mean a better outcome.
Fine judge whether delirium occurs after operationWitnin 96 hours after operationDelirium is fine evaluated using Delirium Rating Scale(DRS-R-98). The minimum value is 0 , and the maximum value is 39. The higher scores mean a worse outcome.
Change of plasma marker concentration before and after operationbefore operation; immediately after operation; 1,2,3,4 Days after operationThe change of plasma marker concentration is evaluated by neurofilament light chain(NFL) protein extracted from plasma.
Change of serum marker concentration before and after operationbefore operation; immediately after operation; 1,2,3,4 Days after operationThe change of serum marker concentration is evaluated by inflammatory cytokine.
Preliminary judge whether delirium occurs after operationWitnin 96 hours after operationDelirium is preliminary evaluate using confusion assessment method(CAM). The minimum value is 0 , and the maximum value is 4. The higher scores mean a worse outcome.
Change of executive functions before and after operation evaluated by Trail-Making Test Part Abefore operation; 7-10 Days after operation; 1 month; 6-12monthsThe change of executive functions are first evaluated by Trail-Making Test Part A test. The minimum value is 0 , and the maximum value is 30. This test has no clear maximum and minimum values. If the test completion time exceeds 79 seconds, it means the outcome is abnormal. The higher scores mean a worse outcome.
