Abstract
Objective: Sensory hypersensitivity is common after acquired brain injury. Since appropriate diagnostic tools are lacking, these complaints are overlooked by clinicians and available literature is limited to light and noise hypersensitivity after concussion. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of sensory hypersensitivity in other modalities and after other types of brain injury. Method: We developed the Multi-Modal Evaluation of Sensory Sensitivity (MESSY), a patient-friendly questionnaire that assesses sensory sensitivity across multiple sensory modalities. 818 neurotypical adults (mean age = 49; 244 male) and 341 chronic acquired brain injury patients (including stroke, traumatic brain injury, and brain tumour patients) (mean age = 56; 126 male) completed the MESSY online. Results: The MESSY had a high validity and reliability in neurotypical adults. Post-injury sensory hypersensitivity (examined using open-ended questions) was reported by 76% of the stroke patients, 89% of the traumatic brain injury patients, and 82% of the brain tumour patients. These complaints occurred across all modalities with multisensory, visual, and auditory hypersensitivity being the most prevalent. Patients with post-injury sensory hypersensitivity reported a higher sensory sensitivity severity on the multiple-choice items of the MESSY as compared to neurotypical adults and acquired brain injury patients without post-injury sensory hypersensitivity (across all sensory modalities) (effect sizes (partial eta squared) ranged from .06 to .22). Conclusions: These results show that sensory hypersensitivity is prevalent after different types of acquired brain injury as well as across several sensory modalities. The MESSY can improve recognition of these symptoms and facilitate further research.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hearing loss is one of the leading potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia. There is growing evidence suggesting that treating hearing loss with hearing aids could be a relatively low-cost intervention in reducing cognitive decline and the risk of dementia in the long term. However, given the current constraints of the limited evidence, it is premature to draw definitive conclusions about the effect of hearing aids on cognitive functioning. More long-term randomised studies examining this effect would be recommended. Prior to embarking on large-scale lengthy randomised controlled trials (RCTs), it is imperative to determine the viability of such studies. Therefore, the purpose of the current study is to assess the feasibility of a RCT that investigates the effect of hearing aids on cognitive functioning in elderly hearing impaired individuals. METHODS AND ANALYSIS In this randomised controlled feasibility trial, 24 individuals aged 65 years or older with mild to moderate hearing loss (≥35-<50 dB pure tone average (0.5-4 kHz) unilateral or bilateral) will be included and randomised towards a hearing aid intervention or no intervention. At baseline and at 6-month follow-up, a test battery consisting of cognitive tests and questionnaires will be administered to both groups. The primary outcome of the study is the willingness of hearing impaired individuals to be randomised for hearing amplification in a study regarding cognition. The secondary outcomes are the feasibility of the test battery and the therapy compliance of hearing aid use. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This research protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the University Medical Centre Utrecht (NL80594.041.22, V.3, January 2023). The trial results will be made accessible to the public in a peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ISRCTN84550071.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Impact of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on cognition likely depends on lesion location, but a comprehensive map of strategic locations is lacking. We aimed to identify these locations in a large multicenter study. METHODS Individual patient data (n = 3525) from 11 memory clinic cohorts were harmonized. We determined the association of WMH location with attention and executive functioning, information processing speed, language, and verbal memory performance using voxel-based and region of interest tract-based analyses. RESULTS WMH in the left and right anterior thalamic radiation, forceps major, and left inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus were significantly related to domain-specific impairment, independent of total WMH volume and atrophy. A strategic WMH score based on these tracts inversely correlated with performance in all domains. DISCUSSION The data show that the impact of WMH on cognition is location-dependent, primarily involving four strategic white matter tracts. Evaluation of WMH location may support diagnosing vascular cognitive impairment. HIGHLIGHTS We analyzed white matter hyperintensities (WMH) in 3525 memory clinic patients from 11 cohorts The impact of WMH on cognition depends on location We identified four strategic white matter tracts A single strategic WMH score was derived from these four strategic tracts The strategic WMH score was an independent determinant of four cognitive domains.

Abstract
Studies in patients with brain lesions play a fundamental role in unraveling the brain's functional anatomy. Lesion-symptom mapping (LSM) techniques can relate lesion location to cognitive performance. However, a limitation of current LSM approaches is that they can only evaluate one cognitive outcome at a time, without considering interdependencies between different cognitive tests. To overcome this challenge, we implemented canonical correlation analysis (CCA) as combined multivariable and multioutcome LSM approach. We performed a proof-of-concept study on 1075 patients with acute ischemic stroke to explore whether addition of CCA to a multivariable single-outcome LSM approach (support vector regression) could identify infarct locations associated with deficits in three well-defined verbal memory functions (encoding, consolidation, retrieval) based on four verbal memory subscores derived from the Seoul Verbal Learning Test (immediate recall, delayed recall, recognition, learning ability). We evaluated whether CCA could extract cognitive score patterns that matched prior knowledge of these verbal memory functions, and if these patterns could be linked to more specific infarct locations than through single-outcome LSM alone. Two of the canonical modes identified with CCA showed distinct cognitive patterns that matched prior knowledge on encoding and consolidation. In addition, CCA revealed that each canonical mode was linked to a distinct infarct pattern, while with multivariable single-outcome LSM individual verbal memory subscores were associated with largely overlapping patterns. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that CCA can complement single-outcome LSM techniques to help disentangle cognitive functions and their neuroanatomical correlates.

Abstract
Patients with acquired brain injury frequently report experiencing sensory stimuli as abnormally under- (sensory hyposensitivity) or overwhelming (sensory hypersensitivity). Although they can negatively impact daily functioning, these symptoms are poorly understood. To provide an overview of the current evidence on atypical sensory sensitivity after acquired brain injury, we conducted a systematic literature review. The primary aim of the review was to investigate the behavioural and neural mechanisms that are associated with self-reported sensory sensitivity. Studies were included when they studied sensory sensitivity in acquired brain injury populations, and excluded when they were not written in English, consisted of non-empirical research, did not study human subjects, studied pain, related sensory sensitivity to peripheral injury or studied patients with a neurodegenerative disorder, meningitis, encephalitis or a brain tumour. The Web of Science, PubMed and Scopus databases were searched for appropriate studies. A qualitative synthesis of the results of the 81 studies that were included suggests that abnormal sensory thresholds and a reduced information processing speed are candidate behavioural mechanisms of atypical subjective sensory sensitivity after acquired brain injury. Furthermore, there was evidence for an association between subjective sensory sensitivity and structural grey or white matter abnormalities, and to functional abnormalities in sensory cortices. However, further research is needed to explore the causation of atypical sensory sensitivity. In addition, there is a need for the development of adequate diagnostic tools. This can significantly advance the quantity and quality of research on the prevalence, aetiology, prognosis and treatment of these symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is a common consequence of stroke. Accurate prediction of PSCI risk is challenging. The recently developed network impact score, which integrates information on infarct location and size with brain network topology, may improve PSCI risk prediction. AIMS To determine if the network impact score is an independent predictor of PSCI, and of cognitive recovery or decline. METHODS We pooled data from patients with acute ischemic stroke from 12 cohorts through the Meta VCI Map consortium. PSCI was defined as impairment in ≥ 1 cognitive domain on neuropsychological examination, or abnormal Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Cognitive recovery was defined as conversion from PSCI < 3 months post-stroke to no PSCI at follow-up, and cognitive decline as conversion from no PSCI to PSCI. The network impact score was related to serial measures of PSCI using Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) models, and to PSCI stratified according to post-stroke interval (<3, 3-12, 12-24, >24 months) and cognitive recovery or decline using logistic regression. Models were adjusted for age, sex, education, prior stroke, infarct volume, and study site. RESULTS We included 2341 patients with 4657 cognitive assessments. PSCI was present in 398/844 patients (47%) <3 months, 709/1640 (43%) at 3-12 months, 243/853 (28%) at 12-24 months, and 208/522 (40%) >24 months. Cognitive recovery occurred in 64/181 (35%) patients and cognitive decline in 26/287 (9%). The network impact score predicted PSCI in the univariable (OR 1.50, 95%CI 1.34-1.68) and multivariable (OR 1.27, 95%CI 1.10-1.46) GEE model, with similar ORs in the logistic regression models for specified post-stroke intervals. The network impact score was not associated with cognitive recovery or decline. CONCLUSIONS The network impact score is an independent predictor of PSCI. As such, the network impact score may contribute to a more precise and individualized cognitive prognostication in patients with ischemic stroke. Future studies should address if multimodal prediction models, combining the network impact score with demographics, clinical characteristics and other advanced brain imaging biomarkers, will provide accurate individualized prediction of PSCI. A tool for calculating the network impact score is freely available at https://metavcimap.org/features/software-tools/lsm-viewer/.

Abstract
Background Cognitive deficits occur in all different grades of glioma. In a recent study, we found these deficits to be independently, and possibly causally, related to survival in diffuse gliomas. In this study, we investigated whether the relationship between cognition and survival was mediated by three different factors: undertreatment, complications of treatment, and compliance. We hypothesized that patients with cognitive impairment may undergo less intensive treatment, be less compliant, and suffer more from complications, resulting in shortened survival for cognitively impaired patients. Methods In a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing awake craniotomy between operative neuropsychological assessments in five cognitive domains. We used Structural Equation Modeling to perform mediation analyses. Mediation analyses are analyses to evaluate whether a variable is a factor in the causal chain, referred to as an intermediate factor. Results In total 254 patients were included, of whom 111 patients were LGG patients and 143 were HGG patients. The most frequently impaired domain was memory (37.8% ≤–2 SD) in HGG and attention and executive functioning in LGG (33.3≤–1.5 SD). We confirmed the significant association between different cognitive domains and survival. These associations could not be explained by one of the aforementioned intermediate factors. Conclusions This suggests that other mechanisms should be involved in the relation between cognition and survival. Hypothetically, cognitive functioning can act as a marker for diffuse infiltration of the tumor or cognitive functioning and survival could be determined by overlapping germline and somatic tumoral molecular-genetic factors.

Abstract
Background: Diffuse gliomas, which are at WHO grade II-IV, are progressive primary brain tumors with great variability in prognosis. Our aim was to investigate whether pre-operative cognitive functioning is of added value in survival prediction in these patients. Methods: In a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing awake craniotomy between 2010 and 2019 we performed pre-operative neuropsychological assessments in five cognitive domains. Their added prognostic value on top of known prognostic factors was assessed in two patient groups [low- (LGG) and high-grade gliomas (HGG]). We compared Cox proportional hazards regression models with and without the cognitive domain by means of loglikelihood ratios tests (LRT), discriminative performance measures (by AUC), and risk classification [by Integrated Discrimination Index (IDI)]. Results: We included 109 LGG and 145 HGG patients with a median survival time of 1,490 and 511 days, respectively. The domain memory had a significant added prognostic value in HGG as indicated by an LRT (p-value = 0.018). The cumulative AUC for HGG with memory included was.78 (SD = 0.017) and without cognition 0.77 (SD = 0.018), IDI was 0.043 (0.000–0.102). In LGG none of the cognitive domains added prognostic value. Conclusions: Our findings indicated that memory deficits, which were revealed with the neuropsychological examination, were of additional prognostic value in HGG to other well-known predictors of survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) occurs in approximately half of people in the first year after stroke. Infarct location is a potential determinant of PSCI, but a comprehensive map of strategic infarct locations predictive of PSCI is unavailable. We aimed to identify infarct locations most strongly predictive of PSCI after acute ischaemic stroke and use this information to develop a prediction model. METHODS In this large-scale multicohort lesion-symptom mapping study, we pooled and harmonised individual patient data from 12 cohorts through the Meta-analyses on Strategic Lesion Locations for Vascular Cognitive Impairment using Lesion-Symptom Mapping (Meta VCI Map) consortium. The identified cohorts (as of Jan 1, 2019) comprised patients with acute symptomatic infarcts on CT or MRI (with available infarct segmentations) and a cognitive assessment up to 15 months after acute ischaemic stroke onset. PSCI was defined as performance lower than the fifth percentile of local normative data, on at least one cognitive domain on a multidomain neuropsychological assessment or on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping (VLSM) was used to calculate voxel-wise odds ratios (ORs) for PSCI that were mapped onto a three-dimensional brain template to visualise PSCI risk per location. For the prediction model of PSCI risk, a location impact score on a 5-point scale was derived from the VLSM results on the basis of the mean voxel-wise coefficient (ln[OR]) within each patient's infarct. We did combined internal-external validation by leave-one-cohort-out cross-validation for all 12 cohorts using logistic regression. Predictive performance of a univariable model with only the location impact score was compared with a multivariable model with addition of other clinical PSCI predictors (age, sex, education, time interval between stroke onset and cognitive assessment, history of stroke, and total infarct volume). Testing of visual ratings was done by three clinicians, and accuracy, inter-rater reliability, and intra-rater reliability were assessed with Cohen's weighted kappa. FINDINGS In our sample of 2950 patients (mean age 66·8 years [SD 11·6]; 1157 [39·2%] women), 1286 (43·6%) had PSCI. We achieved high lesion coverage of the brain in our analyses (86·9%). Infarcts in the left frontotemporal lobes, left thalamus, and right parietal lobe were strongly associated with PSCI (after false discovery rate correction, q<0·01; voxel-wise ORs >20). On cross-validation, the location impact score showed good correspondence, based on visual assessment of goodness of fit, between predicted and observed risk of PSCI across cohorts after adjusting for cohort-specific PSCI occurrence. Cross-validations showed that the location impact score by itself had similar performance to the combined model with other PSCI predictors, while allowing for easy visual assessment. Therefore the univariable model with only the location impact score was selected as the final model. Correspondence between visual ratings and actual location impact score (Cohen's weighted kappa: range 0·88-0·92), inter-rater agreement (0·85-0·87), and intra-rater agreement (for a single rater, 0·95) were all high. INTERPRETATION To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the first comprehensive map of strategic infarct locations associated with risk of PSCI. A location impact score was derived from this map that robustly predicted PSCI across cohorts. Furthermore, we developed a quick and reliable visual rating scale that might in the future be applied by clinicians to identify individual patients at risk of PSCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diffuse gliomas (WHO grade II-IV) are progressive primary brain tumors with great variability in prognosis. Cognitive deficits are of important prognostic value for survival in diffuse gliomas. Until now, few studies focused on domain-specific neuropsychological assessment and rather used MMSE as a measure for cognitive functioning. Additionally, these studies did not take WHO 2016 diagnosis into account. We performed a retrospective cohort study with the aim to investigate the independent relationship between cognitive functioning and survival in treatment-naive patients undergoing awake surgery for a diffuse glioma. METHODS In patients undergoing awake craniotomy between 2010 and 2017, we performed pre-operative neuropsychological assessments in five cognitive domains, with special attention for the domains executive functioning and memory. We evaluated the independent relation between these domains and survival, in a Cox proportional hazards model that included state-of-the-art integrated histomolecular ('layered' or WHO-2016) classification of the gliomas and other known prognostic factors. RESULTS We included 197 patients. Cognitive impairments (Z-values ≦ - 2.0) were most frequent in the domains memory (18.3%) and executive functioning (25.9%). Impairments in executive functioning and memory were significantly correlated with survival, even after correcting for the possible confounders. Analyses with the domains language, psychomotor speed, and visuospatial functioning yielded no significant results. Extensive domain-specific neuropsychological assessment was more strongly correlated to survival than MMSE. CONCLUSION Cognitive functioning is independently related to survival in diffuse glioma patients. Possible mechanisms underlying this relationship include the notion of cognitive functioning as a marker for diffuse infiltration of the tumor and the option that cognitive functioning and survival are determined by overlapping genetic pathways and biomarkers.

Abstract
Background and Purpose- Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) may have detrimental effects on white matter microstructure, which may in turn explain the cognitive impairments that occur often after aSAH. We investigated (1) whether the white matter microstructure is altered in patients with aSAH compared with patients with an unruptured intracranial aneurysm and (2) whether these abnormalities are associated with cognitive impairment 3 months after ictus. Methods- Forty-nine patients with aSAH and 22 patients with an unruptured intracranial aneurysm underwent 3T brain magnetic resonance imaging, including a high-resolution diffusion tensor imaging sequence. Patients with aSAH were scanned 2 weeks and 6 months after ictus. Microstructural white matter alterations were quantified by the fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity (MD). Cognition was evaluated 3 months after ictus. Results- Patients with aSAH had higher white matter MD 2 weeks after ictus than patients with an unruptured intracranial aneurysm (mean difference±SEM, 0.3±0.01×10-3 mm2/s; P≤0.01), reflecting an abnormal microstructure. After 6 months, the MD had returned to the level of the unruptured intracranial aneurysm group. No between-group differences in fractional anisotropy were found (-0.01±0.01; P=0.16). Higher MD at 2 weeks was associated with cognitive impairment after 3 months (odds ratio per SD increase in MD, 2.6; 95% CI, 1.1-6.7). The association between MD and cognitive impairment was independent of conventional imaging markers of aSAH-related brain injury (ie, cerebral infarction, hydrocephalus, total amount of subarachnoid blood, total brain volume, or white matter hyperintensity severity). Conclusions- Patients with aSAH have temporary white matter abnormalities in the subacute phase that are associated with cognitive impairment at 3 months after ictus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) occurs often in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) survivors, but how PTSD develops over time post-aSAH is still unclear. We examined the course of PTSD symptoms during the first year after aSAH. METHOD In this prospective cohort study, the Impact of Event Scale (IES) was applied in 128 patients 3, 6 and 12 months after aSAH. Multilevel modelling was used to assess changes in levels of PTSD symptoms over time and to explore if demographic characteristics, aSAH characteristics, level of education, cognitive functioning and neuroticism are associated to the course of PTSD symptoms. RESULTS Multilevel analyses showed at group level no differences in the average level of PTSD symptoms between 3, 6 of 12 months post-aSAH (p = 0.22). At individual level, changes in PTSD symptoms over time were present (X2 (121) = 149.73 p = 0.04). None of the factors could explain the variance in change of PTSD symptoms over time. CONCLUSIONS The course of PTSD appears to differ between individuals after aSAH. We found no factors that explain these differences. There is not one optimal moment in time to assess PTSD. Therefore, it is important to assess PTSD at several time points after aSAH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study aimed to investigate participation problems in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and the course of participation between 3 and 12 months post-SAH, and to identify determinants of this course. DESIGN This is a prospective cohort study. SETTING The study was done in the SAH outpatient clinic at the University Medical Center Utrecht. SUBJECTS Subjects included patients independent in activities of daily living who visited the SAH outpatient clinic for a routine follow-up visit 3 months after the event. MAIN MEASURES Participation was assessed using the restrictions scale of the Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation-Participation at 3, 6, and 12 months post-SAH. Repeated measures analysis of variance was conducted to identify possible determinants of participation (demographic and SAH characteristics, mood, and cognition). RESULTS One hundred patients were included. Three months after SAH, the most commonly reported restrictions concerned work/unpaid work/education (70.5%), housekeeping (50.0%), and going out (45.2%). Twelve months post-SAH, patients felt most restricted in work/unpaid work/education (24.5%), housekeeping (23.5%), and chores in and around the house (16.3%). Participation scores increased significantly between 3 and 6 months, and between 3 and 12 months, post-SAH. The course of participation was associated with mood, cognition, and gender, but was in the multivariate analysis only determined by mood (F [1, 74] = 18.31, P = .000, partial eta squared: .20), showing lower participation scores at each time point for patients with mood disturbance. CONCLUSIONS Participation in functionally independent SAH patients improved over time. However, 1 out of 3 patients (34.9%) still reported one or more participation restrictions 12 months post-SAH. Mood disturbance was negatively associated with the course of participation after SAH.
