P-015 Implementation of a cognitive dysfunction screening protocol after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage

ConclusionWe successfully implemented an evidence-based screening protocol for cognitive dysfunction after aSAH. Most of these patients did exhibit cognitive dysfunction using the MoCA despite a good functional recovery, defined as mRS score <2. Screening only with the mRS is inadequate to identify the substantial cognitive dysfunction within this patient population. Further research is necessary to understand the impact of early cognitive intervention on long term outcomes for patients with cognitive impairment following aSAH.Disclosures N. Hall: None. J.
