Résumé

Brain activation to motor commands is seen in 15% of clinically unresponsive patients with acute brain injury. This state called cognitive motor dissociation (CMD) is detectable by electroencephalogram (EEG) or functional magnetic resonance imaging, predicts long-term recovery, and is recommended by recent guidelines to support prognostication. However, false negative CMD results are a particular concern, and occult aphasia in clinically unresponsive patients may be a major factor. This study aimed to quantify the impact of aphasia on CMD testing. We prospectively studied 61 intensive care unit patients admitted with acute primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) who had behavioral evidence of command following or were able to mimic motor commands. All patients underwent an EEG-based motor command paradigm used to detect CMD and comprehensive aphasia assessments. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of brain activation, including aphasia types and associations with recovery of independence (Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended score ≥ 4). Of 61 patients, 50 completed aphasia and the EEG-based motor command paradigm. A total of 72% (n = 36) were diagnosed with aphasia. Patients with impaired comprehension (i.e., receptive or global aphasia) were less likely to show brain activation than those with intact comprehension (odds ratio [OR] 0.23 [95% confidence interval 0.05-0.89], p = 0.04). Brain activation was independently associated with Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended ≥ 4 by 12 months (OR 2.4 [95% confidence interval 1.2-5.0], p = 0.01) accounting for the Functional Outcome in Patients with Primary ICH score (OR1.3 [95% confidence interval 1.0-1.8], p = 0.01). Brain activation to motor commands is four times less likely for patients with primary ICH with impaired comprehension. False negative results due to occult receptive aphasia need to be considered when interpreting CMD testing. Early detection of brain activation may help predict long-term recovery in conscious patients with ICH.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Brain activation to motor commands is seen in 15% of clinically unresponsive patients with acute brain injury. This state called cognitive motor dissociation (CMD) is detectable by electroencephalogram (EEG) or functional magnetic resonance imaging, predicts long-term recovery, and is recommended by recent guidelines to support prognostication. However, false negative CMD results are a particular concern, and occult aphasia in clinically unresponsive patients may be a major factor. This study aimed to quantify the impact of aphasia on CMD testing.
METHODS METHODS
We prospectively studied 61 intensive care unit patients admitted with acute primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) who had behavioral evidence of command following or were able to mimic motor commands. All patients underwent an EEG-based motor command paradigm used to detect CMD and comprehensive aphasia assessments. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of brain activation, including aphasia types and associations with recovery of independence (Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended score ≥ 4).
RESULTS RESULTS
Of 61 patients, 50 completed aphasia and the EEG-based motor command paradigm. A total of 72% (n = 36) were diagnosed with aphasia. Patients with impaired comprehension (i.e., receptive or global aphasia) were less likely to show brain activation than those with intact comprehension (odds ratio [OR] 0.23 [95% confidence interval 0.05-0.89], p = 0.04). Brain activation was independently associated with Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended ≥ 4 by 12 months (OR 2.4 [95% confidence interval 1.2-5.0], p = 0.01) accounting for the Functional Outcome in Patients with Primary ICH score (OR1.3 [95% confidence interval 1.0-1.8], p = 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Brain activation to motor commands is four times less likely for patients with primary ICH with impaired comprehension. False negative results due to occult receptive aphasia need to be considered when interpreting CMD testing. Early detection of brain activation may help predict long-term recovery in conscious patients with ICH.
