The Mälardalen Area Doctoral School in Healthcare Science (MoF-V)
In May 2023 Lina Bergman was granted funding for a PhD student position in Mälardalen area doctoral school in healthcare sciences for the project Enhanced Continuity of Postoperative care for Older persons in their Neurocognitive recovery after cardiac surgery (the ECPON- study). The school is a partnership between the Karolinska Institute, Uppsala University, Mälardalen University, and Sophiahemmet University.
Clinical study at Ersta Hospital has started
In January 2023 we started including the first patient to our clinical study at Ersta Hospital in Stockholm. We will recruit 50 patients undergoing planned surgery and the aim is to examine cognitive performance before surgery and after surgery with digital neuropsychological tests. We will also interview the patients 1 month after surgery to explore subjective symtoms of delayed neurocognitive recovery.
