University of Tennessee Health Science CenterJul 15 2024 The Associate Dean of Research at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center's College of Nursing has received a two-year, $421,188 grant from the National Institutes of Health to improve cognitive screening in people who suffer from a devastating type of stroke called aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage .
Over the last 20 years we have done a much better job of saving people. But there is always the question, 'What are we saving them to?' My goal is to return them to a good quality of life and to ameliorate their symptoms." The aSAH type of stroke strikes relatively young people, carrying a mortality rate of almost 40 percent. About 30 percent of those who do survive will experience severe long-term disability, and many survivors experience cognitive symptoms.

The researchers will also be collecting information from someone who lives with or is close to the patient to determine if they report different cognitive issues than the patient does.
