Trial Outcomes & Findings for Improving the Recovery and Outcome Every Day After the ICU (NCT NCT03095417)

NCT ID: NCT03095417

Last Updated: 2024-03-27

Results Overview

The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) will measure cognitive status. The z-scores for the subscales have a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1. The overall z-score is the mean of the 7-item z-scores. Z-scores above the standard deviation represent better cognitive outcomes.

Physical Exercise and Cognitive Training
Physical Exercise Intervention: The physical exercise portion of the combined intervention consists of 45 minutes of multi-modal physical exercise focused on seated aerobic and progressive resistance training designed to improve aerobic capacity, muscular strength and endurance consistent with current exercise recommendations. The study team will deliver 3 sessions per week for 3 months. Cognitive Intervention: The cognitive portion of the combined intervention consists of a suite of 24 programs called Brain HQ developed by Posit Science Inc., organized into six categories: attention, speed, memory, people skills, intelligence, and navigation. The DDD-ECT trial will use 45-minute sessions of Brain HQ exercises. The modules are designed to improve time-order judgment, visual discrimination, spatial-match, forward-span, instruction-following, and memory. Physical Exercise Intervention: In home exercise intervention. Cognitive Training Intervention: Online cognitive training modules.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months post study randomization

Population: Only participants who were able to complete the scale are included in the analysis.

The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) will measure cognitive status. The z-scores for the subscales have a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1. The overall z-score is the mean of the 7-item z-scores. Z-scores above the standard deviation represent better cognitive outcomes.
