Evaluation of cognitive outcomes after brain injury treatment
Study of the One-year Outcomes of Patients Hospitalized in the Lariboisière Neurosurgery Department
This study tests if a quick brain check on a tablet can help doctors spot patients with brain injuries who might struggle after leaving the hospital, so they can get better support.

What this trial studies
This observational study evaluates the one-year cognitive and functional outcomes of patients who have been hospitalized in the neurosurgery unit at Lariboisière hospital due to acquired brain injuries. It utilizes the Lariboisière cognitive assessment (Cog-First), a brief cognitive evaluation conducted on a touch-screen tablet, to identify cognitive impairments in the acute phase of care. The study aims to determine if this systematic pre-discharge assessment can effectively predict poor functional prognosis and identify at-risk patients for better post-discharge management.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old who have been hospitalized in the neurosurgery unit at Lariboisière hospital and discharged home.
Not a fit: Patients who are transferred to rehabilitation facilities after hospitalization or those with a history of neurological or psychiatric illness may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to earlier identification and intervention for patients at risk of long-term cognitive impairments following brain injuries.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success with cognitive assessments in acute care settings, but the specific approach of this study is relatively novel.
