The Feasibility and Validity of Objective and Patient-Reported Measurements of Cognition During Early Critical Illness Recovery

ConclusionsMethods of objective and patient-reported cognitive testing that have been validated for use in patients with chronic medical and neurologic illness were infeasible or yielded invalid results among a general sample of patients in this study who were in early recovery from neurologic and systemic critical illness. Longer critical illness duration and worse neurocognitive impairments, whether chronic or acute, reduced testing feasibility.
