Résumé
Decompressive hemicraniectomy (DH) improves survival and functional outcome in large middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarcts. However, long-term cognitive outcomes after DH remain underexplored. In a cohort of patients with large right-hemisphere MCA infarction undergoing DH, we assessed the rates of long-term cognitive impairment over 3-year follow-up. We prospectively evaluated consecutive patients included in the Lille Decompressive Surgery Database (May 2005-April 2022) undergoing DH according to existing guidelines for large hemisphere MCA infarction. We included patients with right-sided stroke and screened with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) in at least one of the prespecified follow-ups (3-month, 1-year, 3-year). Cognitive impairment was defined as an MMSE score < 24. We included only right-hemisphere strokes to avoid testing biases related to severe aphasia. We compared clinical and neuroimaging data in patients with and without cognitive impairment. Three hundred four patients underwent DH during the study period. Among 3-month survivors, 95 had a right-hemisphere stroke and underwent at least one cognitive screening (median age = 51 years, 56.8% men). Forty-four patients (46.3%) exhibited cognitive impairment at least once during the 3-year follow-up. Baseline characteristics did not significantly differ between patients with and without cognitive impairment. Regarding long-term temporal trends, cognitive impairment was observed in 23 of 76 (30.3%), 25 of 80 (31.3%), and 19 of 66 (28.8%) patients at 3-month, 1-year, and 3-year follow-up, respectively, and it was associated with higher rates of functional disability (all p < 0.05). The persistently high rates of cognitive impairment after DH highlight the importance of cognitive monitoring to improve the long-term management of survivors.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
OBJECTIVE
Decompressive hemicraniectomy (DH) improves survival and functional outcome in large middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarcts. However, long-term cognitive outcomes after DH remain underexplored. In a cohort of patients with large right-hemisphere MCA infarction undergoing DH, we assessed the rates of long-term cognitive impairment over 3-year follow-up.
METHODS
METHODS
We prospectively evaluated consecutive patients included in the Lille Decompressive Surgery Database (May 2005-April 2022) undergoing DH according to existing guidelines for large hemisphere MCA infarction. We included patients with right-sided stroke and screened with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) in at least one of the prespecified follow-ups (3-month, 1-year, 3-year). Cognitive impairment was defined as an MMSE score < 24. We included only right-hemisphere strokes to avoid testing biases related to severe aphasia. We compared clinical and neuroimaging data in patients with and without cognitive impairment.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Three hundred four patients underwent DH during the study period. Among 3-month survivors, 95 had a right-hemisphere stroke and underwent at least one cognitive screening (median age = 51 years, 56.8% men). Forty-four patients (46.3%) exhibited cognitive impairment at least once during the 3-year follow-up. Baseline characteristics did not significantly differ between patients with and without cognitive impairment. Regarding long-term temporal trends, cognitive impairment was observed in 23 of 76 (30.3%), 25 of 80 (31.3%), and 19 of 66 (28.8%) patients at 3-month, 1-year, and 3-year follow-up, respectively, and it was associated with higher rates of functional disability (all p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
The persistently high rates of cognitive impairment after DH highlight the importance of cognitive monitoring to improve the long-term management of survivors.
