Lexical access speed is significantly correlated with the return to professional activities after awake surgery for low-grade gliomas

Abstract

Awake surgery with intraoperative brain mapping is highly recommended for patients with diffuse low-grade gliomas in language areas, to maximise the extent of resection while preserving the integrity of functional networks and thus quality of life. The picture-naming test "DO.80" is the gold standard for language assessment before, during, and after surgery. Cognitive functioning is correlated with quality of life, itself linked with return to work. Our objective was to evaluate the significance of measuring naming speed, and its correlation with the return to professional activities. Two complementary studies are reported. In the first retrospective study, eleven patients were examined post-operatively. Five patients were selected because they were not able to resume their professional activities ("no return group 1"). They were compared with a control group of six patients who are working normally after surgery ("return group 1"). The eleven patients performed a global language and neuropsychological assessment, with a post-operative median follow-up of 35 months. In a subsequent prospective study, twelve patients were examined pre-operatively and post-operatively. Six patients who were not able to return to work ("no return group 2") were compared with a control group of six patients who were working normally after the surgery ("return group 2"). The twelve patients performed a pre and post-operative language assessment, with a median follow-up of 9 months. Our results sho…

  • Connectomic studies have shown that lexical access speed, related to return to professional work after awake surgery for low-grade glioma patients, may be completely disrupted only when the left inferior longitudinal fasciculus is damaged.

    “For instance, connectomic studies have shown that the lexical access speed, which is related to the return to professional work after awake surgery for patients with low-grade gliomas, may be completely disrupted only when the left inferior longitudinal fasciculus (ILF) is damaged (Moritz-Gasser et al., 2012).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
