摘要

In the last years, cognitive impairment was emphasized to be a prominent long-term sequelae of sepsis. The level of cognitive impairment is comparable with that in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients. Whether sepsis survivors also show a comparable brain atrophy is still unclear. For the analysis of brain atrophy, a novel method named brain age gap estimation (BrainAGE) was used. In this analysis approach, an algorithm identifies age-specific atrophy across the whole brain and calculates a BrainAGE score in years. In case of accelerated brain atrophy, the BrainAGE score is increased in comparison to the healthy age reference group, indicating a difference in estimated chronological age. 20 survivors of severe sepsis (longer than 2 years post sepsis) with persistent cognitive deficits were investigated with a battery of neuropsychological tests. Their MRI images were compared to an age- and sex-matched control group. Sepsis survivors showed a significant higher BrainAGE score of 4.5 years compared to healthy controls. We also found a close relationship between the BrainAGE score and severity of cognitive impairment (a higher BrainAGE score was associated with more severe cognitive impairment). Consequently, sepsis survivors with persistent cognitive impairment showed an accelerated brain ageing, which was closely associated with the severity of cognitive impairment (similar to MCI patients).
