ICU survivors face hidden dementia risk: groundbreaking study seeks answers
NCT ID NCT04305600
Summary
This study aims to understand why some people who survive serious illness in intensive care units (ICUs) later develop problems with memory and thinking similar to dementia. Researchers will follow 567 new ICU patients and some previous study participants for up to 12 years, using brain scans, fluid samples, and cognitive tests. The goal is to identify risk factors and biological changes that lead to these brain problems after critical illness.
