Impairment of cognitive functions in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension before and after surgical treatment

OBJECTIVE: To study cognitive functions in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) before and in the long-term after pulmonary thromboendarterectomy and to study factors that negatively affect cognitive status.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: One hundred and twenty-four patients with CTEPH were examined before and 6 months after surgery with an assessment of cognitive impairment using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Multivariate regression analysis was used to identify factors affecting the MMSE indicators before and in the long-term postoperative periods.

RESULTS: Initially, patients with CTEPH had a total MMSE score 23.8±1.1. Six months after surgery, the score was 26.1±1.9 (p<0.001). A history of stroke, disability, stress (loss of spouse), and a high Charleson comorbidity index were independent factors affecting MMSE score before surgery. After surgery, the total MMSE score was influenced by a history of stroke, stress (loss of spouse), residual pulmonary hypertension and atrial fibrillation in the early postoperative period.

CONCLUSION: Cognitive impairment in the form of mild dementia was observed in patients with CTEPH before surgery. Six months after the operation, an improvement in cognitive status was revealed, which corresponded to moderate cognitive impairment. At the same time, no complete recovery of cognitive functions was recorded. Patients with CTEPH still experienced the greatest difficulties in the following areas: concentration and counting, memory. A history of stroke, disability, stress (loss of spouse), and a high comorbidity index are associated with a decrease in MMSE scores before surgery. Six months after surgery, MMSE score was affected by a history of stroke, stress (loss of spouse), residual pulmonary hypertension and atrial fibrillation in the early postoperative period.
