Electronic Neurocognitive Tools in Screening for Mental Capability in Patients Undergoing Liver Surgery

Overview

This trial studies how well electronic neurocognitive tools work in screening for mental capability in patients who are undergoing liver surgery. Using electronic neurocognitive screening tools may help to better assess mental impairment.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate feasibility of the electronic batteries, measured by the completion rate and time to completion of the batteries. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Comparison of the completion rate and time to completion between the written and electronic batteries. II. Comparison of the scoring distribution between the screening tools. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess if a history of mental or cognitive illness or ongoing treatment with neuropsychiatric medications impact the ability to complete written and/or electronic neurocognitive screening. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups. GROUP I: Patients receive the BrainCheck cognitive assessment over 15 minutes followed by the paper and pen cognitive assessment within 2 months prior to surgery and within 2 months after surgery. GROUP II: Patients receive the paper and pen cognitive assessment followed by the BrainCheck cognitive assessment over 15 minutes 2 months prior to surgery and within 2 months after surgery.
