Abstract

The article discusses the PROSPECT prediction model for cognitive impairment in critical care patients. The authors acknowledge the need for further validation of the model in cohorts where more critically ill patients survive and deaths occur during follow-up. They also discuss the importance of early identification of medical issues and the role of clinicians' expertise in forming prognoses. The authors suggest that a dynamic model that incorporates new information over time may help clinicians communicate prognostic information more effectively. They also address the accessibility of the model and the challenges of assessing cognitive impairment. [Extracted from the article]
