20.500.12556/DiRROS-19833 Cognitive functioning in a cohort of high-grade glioma patients High grade gliomas are associated with cognitive problems. The aim of the study was to investigate cognitive functioning in a cohort of patients with high grade glioma, according to isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) and methyl guanine methyl transferase (MGMT) status and other clinical characteristics. The patients with the high-grade glioma treated in Slovenia in given period of time were included in study. Postoperatively they completed neuropsychological assessment consisting of Slovenian Verbal Learning Test, Slovenian Controlled Oral Word Association Test, Trail Making Test Part A and B and self-evaluation questionnaire. We analysed results (z-scores and dichotomized results) also according to IDH mutation and MGMT methylation. We examined differences between groups using T-test, Mann-Whitney U, χ2 and Kendall's Tau tests. Out of 275 patients in the cohort, we included 90. Forty-six percent of patients were unable to participate due to poor performance status and other conditions related to tumour. Patients with the IDH mutation were younger, with better performance status, larger proportions of grade III tumours and MGMT methylation. In this group cognitive functioning is significantly better in the domains of immediate recall, short delayed recall and delayed recall, and in the fields of executive functioning and recognition. There were no differences in cognitive functioning in regard to MGMT status. Grade III tumours were associated with more frequent MGMT methylation. Self-assessment proved week tool, associated only with immediate recall. We found no differences in cognitive functioning according to MGMT status, but cognition was better when IDH mutation was present. In a cohort study of patients with high-grade glioma, almost half were unable to participate in a study, which points to an overrepresentation of patients with better cognitive functioning in the research. cognition high grade glioma IDH1 mutation kognicija visoko maligni gliomi mutacije IDH1 true false true Association of Radiology and Oncology Ljubljana Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik by Authors Neznano 2024-07-25 14:14:12 2024-07-25 14:14:12 2024-07-28 03:37:03 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 str. 201-210 no. 2 Vol. 57 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2023-01-01 159.955 1318-2099 10.2478/raon-2023-0009 159014147 RAZ_Skufca_Smrdel_Andreja_Cirila_2023.pdf RAZ_Skufca_Smrdel_Andreja_Cirila_2023.pdf 1 4F00321D156A5DDC415E8343CFCBC7B6 9e749e24d92f7c7b35f0a6be05defd91d3f014e9d50d588fd0becf02c4574d33 d238baa2-4a6e-11ef-b487-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=27502 Onkološki inštitut Ljubljana 0 0 0
