This is an ancillary study of an intervention study (NCT04570709). The parent study is a single institution, feasibility trial of 20 (10 control and 10 intervention) patients with the primary objective of assessing feasibility, acceptability, and change in pre and post measures of symptoms, function, and quality of life by administering the Palliative and Collaborative Care InTervention (PACT). We will further assess cognitive function in the patients who participate in the control of the parent study.
The study objective is to observe patient-reported and researcher-assessed cognitive function in adults with acute myeloid leukemia with chemotherapy treatment. We will assess cognitive function using a battery of neuropsychological assessments, patient-reported questionnaire, and semi-structured interviews among participants in control group only. The group assignment will be conducted through parent study (NCT04570709). Participating in this study will not affect participants' group assignment.

Cognitive function as assessed by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Cognitive Function
The questionnaire consists of 4 domains, including perceived cognitive impairments, comments from others, perceived cognitive abilities, and impact of quality of life. The higher the score, the better the cognitive function.
Time frame: at the second cycle of treatment (about day 30)
Processing speed and executive function as assessed by Trial Making Test
Include both trails A and B.
Time frame: at the second cycle of treatment (about day 30)
Memory and verbal learning as assessed by Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-revised (HVLT-R)
Include total recall and delayed recall.
Time frame: at the second cycle of treatment (about day 30)
Speeded lexical fluency as assessed by Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) letter fluency
Include three initial alphabet letter for each assessment.
Time frame: at the second cycle of treatment (about day 30)
Attention and working memory as assessed by Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)-digit span
Include forward and backward assessment.
Time frame: at the second cycle of treatment (about day 30)
Cognitive effort as assessed by Borg CR 10
Range from 0-10, maximum. The higher the score, the much the cognitive effort.
