Brief summary
This pilot feasibility study will be a randomized control trial of usual care following Intensive Care Unit (ICU) discharge compared to the Anticipating Decline and Providing Therapy (ADAPT) screening and support intervention. The trial aims to enroll 120 older adults (age 60 or older).
Detailed description
Anticipating Decline and Providing Therapy (ADAPT) is a program designed to support the implementation of a routine post-ICU cognitive impairment screening and support intervention. The program includes a routine validated cognitive screen for high-risk older adults at 6 weeks and 6 months post-ICU discharge. Patients with a screening assessment that may be consistent with cognitive impairment or dementia will receive additional resources including a specialized care plan developed by the Sticht Center for Healthy Aging and Alzheimer's Prevention. The specialized care plan is adapted from a health system-based dementia care intervention and designed to support post-ICU cognitive concerns. It was adapted with input from geriatrics, intensive care, and outpatient primary care clinicians. Also conducted are semi-structured interviews with 22 older adult ICU survivors and 6 primary care physicians to elicit preferences and the intervention was further adapted based on these results.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of participants in Cognitive Screening Intervention Arm | Week 6 | Number of participants in intervention arm who complete cognitive screening at 6 weeks |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Percentage of participants having mild cognitive impairment (MCI), probable dementia and the combination of either MCI or probable dementia | Week 28 | percentage of participants adjudicated as having mild cognitive impairment (MCI), probable dementia and the combination of either MCI or probable dementia |
| Change in number of Participants between those enrolled and those who were eligible but declined | Week 52 | compare pre-specified baseline characteristics (i.e., age, sex, race, ICU length of stay) between those enrolled and those who were eligible but declined |
| Number of eligible participants who complete specialized care plan development visit | up to week 28 | Number of eligible participants who complete specialized care plan development visit |
| Change in Modified Caregiver Strain Index (MCSI) Scores | Week 28 | the modified caregiver strain index will be assessed via telephone call to identified caregiver or care partner in both groups - a 13-question tool that measures strain related to care provision - Scoring is 2 points for each 'yes', and 1 point for each 'sometimes' response. The higher the score, the higher the level of caregiver strain - range of 13-26 |
| Change in the number of hospitalizations and Emergency Department visits | Month 12 | healthcare utilization will be the number of hospitalizations and Emergency Department (ED) visits |
| Change in the Number of neuropsychiatric prescriptions medications | Month 12 | number of neuropsychiatric prescriptions medications will be measured using the electronic health record |
| Change in number of new diagnoses of dementia or mild cognitive impairment | Month 12 | new diagnosis of dementia or mild cognitive impairment will be measured using the electronic health record |
| Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) Scores | Week 28 | The Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) - Response Scale - 4 item scales. Each item will be measured on a 5 point Likert scale: 1 = Completely disagree, 2 = Disagree, 3 = Neither agree nor disagree, 4 = Agree, 5 = Completely agree - The score is calculated mean. Higher scores reflect higher measure of acceptability |
| Acceptability of Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) Scores | Week 28 | Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) - Response Scale - 4 item scales. Each item will be measured on a 5 point Likert scale: 1 = Completely disagree, 2 = Disagree, 3 = Neither agree nor disagree, 4 = Agree, 5 = Completely agree - The score is calculated mean. Higher scores reflect higher measure of appropriateness |
| Acceptability of Feasibility of Intervention measure (FIM) Scores | Week 28 | The Acceptability of Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM) - Response Scale - 4 item scales. Each item will be measured on a 5 point Likert scale: 1 = Completely disagree, 2 = Disagree, 3 = Neither agree nor disagree, 4 = Agree, 5 = Completely agree - The score is calculated mean. Higher scores reflect higher measure of feasibility |
