    Abstract Background: Early extubation, defined as removal of the endotracheal tube at the end of surgery before transfer to a designated postoperative care area, is associated with better outcomes after elective infratentorial craniotomy. The Predicting Infratentorial Craniotomy Extubation (PRICE) project was an international survey designed to estimate the rate of early extubation after elective infratentorial craniotomy, as reported by neuroanesthesiologists, neurosurgeons, and neurocritical care specialists.
    Methods: Following research ethics board waiver, the 15-question online PRICE survey was circulated to the members of 5 international medical societies over a 15-week period.
    Results: One hundred and ninety of 5453 society members completed the survey (3.5% response rate). Respondents represented a total of 99 institutions from 92 cities, in 27 countries. While 84 of 188 (44.7%) respondents reported achieving early extubation in more than 95% of cases, 43 of 188 (22.9%) reported extubating fewer than 75% of cases early. The proportion of physicians who reported extubating at least 75% of cases early was greater in high-volume compared with low-volume institutions (73.5% vs. 50.9%, respectively; P =0.003) and among anesthesiologists compared with other specialties (75.6% vs. 45.6%, respectively; P <0.001). Preoperative bulbar dysfunction, preoperative altered consciousness and the course of surgery were the 3 factors with the biggest impact on the decision to extubate early versus late among respondents.
    Conclusions: The reported rate of early extubation after elective infratentorial craniotomy varies widely between institutions, with respondents from high-volume institutions reporting greater rates of early extubation than those from lower-volume centers. The course of surgery, evidence of bulbar dysfunction, and altered consciousness, appear to affect the decision to extubate early more than other predictors.

    Abstract Objective: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a multimodal perioperative care pathway that has radically modified the management of patients in multiple surgical specialties. Until now, no ERAS Society guidelines have been formulated for the management of cranial pathologies. During the process of ERAS certification for their neurosurgical department, the authors formulated an ERAS protocol for the perioperative care of patients with pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNET), along with a compliance checklist to monitor the adherence to it and its feasibility. The authors describe the protocol and checklist and report the results, including a cost-minimization analysis, with the application of the ERAS philosophy.
    Methods: The steps that led to the development of this ERAS protocol, including items concerning the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative period, are detailed. The authors report their preliminary results through the comparison of the care practice of a historical cohort with a consecutive surgical cohort of patients with PitNET who underwent operation after the implementation of this ERAS protocol. A compliance checklist with key performance indicators was useful to monitor the adherence to the protocol and the changes in the perioperative management.
    Results: Following the introduction of this ERAS protocol, the authors significantly shortened the duration of the antibiotic therapy (p < 0.00001) and increased the use of mechanical (p < 0.00001) and pharmacological measures to prevent deep venous thrombosis (p = 0.002). The median length of hospital stay was significantly shorter for the ERAS group (p = 0.00014), and there was no increase in readmission rate or postoperative complications. The documentation and data tracking strongly improved in the ERAS cohort and the authors were more attentive in pain evaluation (p = 0.001), postoperative hormonal supplementation (p = 0.001) and early feeding and mobilization (p = 0.0008 and p < 0.00001, respectively). More patients were discharged on day 3 after surgery in the ERAS group (p < 0.00001). The compliance to the whole process increased from 64.2% to 89.5% (p = 0.016), and the compliance per patient was also found to have significantly increased (p < 0.00001).
    Conclusions: The introduction of a standardized ERAS protocol for the perioperative management of patients with PitNET allowed the authors to improve the multidisciplinary management of these patients. With the application of simple cost-effective interventions and with the avoidance of unnecessary measures, gains were made in terms of early mobilization and feeding, thereby resulting in a shorter in-hospital stay.

    Abstract Aims: PCSK9 inhibition intensively lowers low density lipoprotein cholesterol and is well tolerated in adults and paediatric patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH). HAUSER-RCT showed that 24 weeks of treatment with evolocumab in paediatric patients did not affect cognitive function. This study determined the effects of 80 additional weeks of evolocumab treatment on cognitive function in paediatric patients with heterozygous FH.
    Methods and results: HAUSER-OLE was an 80-week open-label extension of HAUSER-RCT, a randomized, double-blind, 24-week trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of evolocumab in paediatric patients (ages 10-17 years) with FH. During the OLE, all patients received monthly 420 mg subcutaneous evolocumab injections. Tests of psychomotor function, attention, visual learning, and executive function were administered at baseline and Weeks 24 and 80 of the OLE. Changes over time were analysed descriptively and using analysis of covariance. Cohen's d statistic was used to evaluate the magnitude of treatment effects. Analysis of covariance results indicated no decrease in performance across visits during 80 weeks of evolocumab treatment for Groton Maze Learning, One Card Learning accuracy, Identification speed, or Detection speed (all P > 0.05). Performance on all tasks was similar for those who received placebo or evolocumab in the RCT (all P > 0.05). For all tests, the least square mean differences between patients who received placebo vs. evolocumab in the parent study were trivial (all Cohen's d magnitude < 0.2).
    Conclusion: In paediatric patients with FH, 80 weeks of open-label evolocumab treatment had no negative impact on cognitive function.

    Abstract Background: Over the past decade, Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) guidelines have been proven to simplify postoperative care and improve recovery in several surgical disciplines. The authors set out to create and launch an ERAS® program for cranial neurosurgery that meets official ERAS® Society standards. The authors summarize the successive steps taken to achieve this goal in two specific neurosurgical conditions and describe the challenges they faced.
    Methods: Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (Pit-NET) resected by a transsphenoidal approach and craniosynostosis (Cs) repair were selected as appropriate targets for the implementation of ERAS® program in the Department of Neurosurgery. A multidisciplinary team with experience in managing these pathologies was created. A specialized ERAS® nurse coordinator was hired. An ERAS® certification process was performed involving 4 seminars separated by 3 active phases under the supervision of an ERAS® coach.
    Results: The ERAS® Pit-NET team included 8 active members. The ERAS® Cs team included 12 active members. Through the ERAS® certification process, areas for improvement were identified, local protocols were written, and the ERAS® program was implemented. Patient-centered strategies were developed to increase compliance with the ERAS® protocols. A prospective database was designed for ongoing program evaluation. Certification was achieved in 18 months. Direct costs and time requirements are reported.
    Conclusion: Successful ERAS® certification requires a committed multidisciplinary team, an ERAS® coach, and a dedicated nurse coordinator.

    Abstract Background: Evolocumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody inhibitor of PCSK9 approved for lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in adults and pediatric patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). The cognitive safety of evolocumab has been established in adults but has not yet been described in pediatric patients.
    Objective: To determine the effects of evolocumab on cognitive function in pediatric heterozygous FH.
    Methods: Cognitive function was assessed during a 24-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (HAUSER-RCT) evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 24 weeks of monthly subcutaneous injections of evolocumab in pediatric patients with FH. Cognitive safety endpoints included changes from baseline to week 24 in test scores in domains of psychomotor function, attention, visual learning, and executive function. Between-group differences in age-standardized mean test score changes were analyzed using analysis of covariance models and point estimates with 95% confidence interval (CI). Magnitudes of difference between treatment groups (Cohen's d) and reliable change indices were calculated for each cognitive function test.
    Results: At week 24, changes from baseline in age-standardized cognitive test scores were similar between the treatment groups. Differences (95% CI) between the evolocumab and placebo groups in mean test score changes for the Groton Maze Learning, One-Card Learning, Identification, and Detection tests were 0.1 (-0.2, 0.4), -0.1 (-0.5, 0.4), 0.3 (0.0, 0.7), 0.3 (-0.1, 0.8), respectively. For all tests, abnormal and clinically important cognitive decline occurred with lesser frequency in the evolocumab group.
    Conclusion: In pediatric patients with FH, 24-week treatment with evolocumab did not negatively influence cognition.
    Funding: This study was funded and designed by Amgen.

    Title translation Évaluation diagnostique de l'état confusionnel de l'instrument 3D-CAM: traduction française et adaptation culturelle.
    Abstract Purpose: The routine use of validated diagnostic instruments is key to identifying delirious patients early and expediting care. The 3-Minute Diagnostic Assessment for Delirium using the Confusion Assessment Method (3D-CAM) instrument is a brief, easy to use, sensitive, and specific delirium assessment tool for hospitalized patients. We aimed to translate the original English version into French, and then adapt it to older high-risk patients.
    Methods: Translation and adaptation of the questionnaire were guided by an expert committee and the 3D-CAM instrument developer. During the translation phase, we achieved semantic and conceptual equivalence of the instrument by conducting forward and backward translations. During the adaptation phase, we assessed the face validity, clarity of wording, and ease of use of the translated questionnaire by administering it to 30 patients and their caregivers in peri-interventional and medical intermediate care units. During both phases, we used qualitative (goal and adequacy of the questionnaire) and quantitative (Sperber score, clarity score) criteria.
    Results: Translation: four items were judged inadequate and were revised until all reached a Sperber score of < 3/7. Face validity: 91% of patients thought the questionnaire was designed to assess memory, thoughts, or reasoning. Clarity: eight items required adjustments until all scored ≥ 9/10 for clarity. Ease of use: all bedside caregivers reported that the questionnaire was easy to complete after receiving brief instructions.
    Conclusions: We produced a culturally adapted French version of the 3D-CAM instrument that is well understood and well-received by older high-risk patients and their caregivers.

    Abstract Background: Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a rare, autosomal semi-dominant lipid metabolism disorder characterized by extremely high LDL-C levels and premature cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study was to investigate sex-differences in the treatment and outcomes of patients with HoFH.
    Methods: We examined clinical characteristics, lipid-lowering therapy (LLT), and cardiovascular events using descriptive statistics of patients in the Canadian HoFH registry. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were defined as the composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and stroke. Sex differences between continuous and categorical variables were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test and Fisher's Exact test, respectively.
    Results: This study included 48 patients (27 (56%) female). The median age at diagnosis in females was 14.0 (IQR 9.0-30.0) and in males was 8.0 (IQR 2.0-23.0) (p = 0.07). Baseline clinical characteristics were comparable between both sexes. The median baseline LDL-C was 12.7 (10.0-18.3) in females and 15.3 (10.5-20.0) in males (p = 0.51). Follow up LDL-C levels was 7.6 mmol/L (IQR 4.8-11.0) in females and 6.3 (IQR 4.6-7.5) in males (p = 0.1). Most patients were taking 3 or more LLTs, with comparable proportions in both sexes (p = 0.26). Apheresis was similar in both sexes, 14 (51.8%) vs. 10 (47.6%), p = 0.2. Over a mean of 10 years of follow-up, MACE occurred in 3 females (11.1%) and 4 males (19.1%) (p = 0.2).
    Conclusion: Lipid levels and treatment were similar between sexes. MACE occurred in similar proportions between sexes, indicating that HoFH offsets the inherently lower cardiovascular risk in pre-menopausal females. Further investigation into sex-differences in HoFH in larger sample sizes is warranted.

    Abstract Introduction: The subscale motor score of Glasgow Coma Scale (msGCS) and the Abbreviated Injury Score of head region (HAIS) are validated prognostic factors in traumatic brain injury (TBI). The aim was to compare the prognostic performance of a HAIS-based prediction model including HAIS, pupil reactivity and age, and the reference prediction model including msGCS in emergency department (ED), pupil reactivity and age.
    Methods: Secondary analysis of a prospective epidemiological study including patients after severe TBI (HAIS > 3) with follow-up from the time of accident until 14 days or earlier death was performed in Switzerland. Performance of prediction, based on accuracy of discrimination [area under the receiver-operating curve (AUROC)], calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow test) and validity (bootstrapping with 2000 repetitions to correct) for optimism of the two prediction models were investigated. A non-inferiority approach was performed and an a priori threshold for important differences was established.
    Results: The cohort included 808 patients [median age 56 {inter-quartile range (IQR) 33-71}, median motor part of GCS in ED 1 (1-6), abnormal pupil reactivity 29.0%] with a death rate of 29.7% at 14 days. The accuracy of discrimination was similar (AUROC HAIS-based prediction model: 0.839; AUROC msGCS-based prediction model: 0.826, difference of the 2 AUROC 0.013 (-0.007 to 0.037). A similar calibration was observed (Hosmer-Lemeshow X
    Conclusions: Performance of prediction for short-term mortality after severe TBI with HAIS-based prediction model was non-inferior to reference prediction model using msGCS as predictor.

    Abstract Specialized adaptations for killing microbes are synonymous with phagocytic cells including macrophages, monocytes, inflammatory neutrophils, and eosinophils. Recent genome sequencing of extant species, however, reveals that analogous antimicrobial machineries exist in certain non-immune cells and also within species that ostensibly lack a well-defined immune system. Here we probe the evolutionary record for clues about the ancient and diverse phylogenetic origins of macrophage killing mechanisms and how some of their properties are shared with cells outside the traditional bounds of immunity in higher vertebrates such as mammals.
