Aneurysm II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

11
Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...

Summary

Clinicians rarely used estimates when discussing prognosis for critical neurologic illness, particularly for cognitive outcomes. This study highlights a gap in evidence-based guidelines for prognostic communication in critical care neurology.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Medical Communication

Background:

  • Evidence-based guidelines for discussing prognosis in critical neurologic illness are lacking.
  • Experts recommend using estimates (numerical or qualitative) for prognostic communication.
  • Real-world clinician practices in communicating prognosis for critical neurologic illness are not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the prognostic language used by clinicians in critical neurologic illness.
  • To explore differences in prognostic language across various prognostic domains (e.g., survival, cognition).

Main Methods:

  • A multicenter, cross-sectional, mixed-methods study analyzed audio-recorded clinician-family meetings for critically ill neurologic patients.
  • Prognostic statements were coded for language type (probabilistic vs. nonprobabilistic) and domain (survival, physical function, cognition, overall recovery).
  • Statistical analysis, including logistic regression, examined associations between prognostic language and domain.

Main Results:

  • Most prognostic statements (62%) were nonprobabilistic; only 2% offered numeric estimates.
  • Statements about survival and physical function were more frequently probabilistic than those about cognition.
  • Prognostic language varied by domain, with cognitive outcomes least likely to be discussed using probabilistic terms.

Conclusions:

  • Clinicians tend to avoid using estimates when communicating prognosis in critical neurologic illness, especially concerning cognitive outcomes.
  • Findings suggest a need for interventions to improve prognostic communication in this patient population.
