Overview

Cognitive disorders are common after intensive care. Currently, their diagnosis is based on clinical tests. The investigators plan to study the relationship between different neurological blood biomarkers (cytokines, S100β protein, neuron specific enolase, total Tau protein and neurofilament light chain) and the occurrence of cognitive disorders during the three months following intensive care discharge.
