However, evidence is limited because of factors including small sample size and limited inclusion of covariates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To assess the feasibility of a multicenter prospective observational study using a multimodal data collection platform. Feasibility was assessed by enrollment, data-capture, and follow-up rates. The full study will aim to assess the association between noninvasively derived surrogate markers of cerebral perfusion, delirium development, and long-term cognitive outcomes in critically ill patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Adult patients in the ICU were enrolled if they had shock and\/or respiratory failure requiring invasive mechanical ventilation for &amp;gt;24 hours. For the first 72 hours, a near-infrared spectroscopic sensor was placed on the forehead to continuously monitor regional cerebral oxygenation (rSo \u00a02) and high-frequency (1 Hz) vital signs were concurrently captured via an arterial line. Cerebral perfusion was estimated using three variables, including mean rSo \u00a02, duration of disturbed autoregulation, and time\/magnitude away from optimal mean arterial pressure (MAP). Patients were screened for delirium in the ICU and ward daily for up to 30 days. Cognitive function was assessed 3 and 12 months after ICU admission to identify cognitive impairment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fifty-nine patients were enrolled across four sites in 1 year. Data-capture rates varied across modalities but exceeded 80% for rSo \u00a02, blood gas, and delirium data capture. Vital-sign capture and 3-month follow-up rates were lower at 53% and 55%, respectively. Eighty-three percent (49 of 59) of patients experienced delirium, with a median severity of 0.56 in the ICU. Mean physiological (\u00b1standard deviation) values were: rSo \u00a02 (70.4%\u2009\u00b1\u20097.0%), heart rate (83.9\u2009\u00b1\u200916.45 beats\/min), MAP (76.4\u2009\u00b1\u200912.8 mm Hg), peripheral oxygenation saturation (96.5%\u2009\u00b1\u20092.1%), proportion of recording time spent with disturbed autoregulation (10.1%\u2009\u00b1\u20097.3%) and proportion of area under the curve outside optimal MAP (39.6%\u2009\u00b1\u200922.4%). Thirty-two (54%) individuals had cerebral autoregulation curves where a targeted optimal MAP was identified. Barriers to data collection included missing vital-sign data and low follow-up rates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Given our current protocol, a multicenter study examining the association between cerebral oxygenation, delirium, and long-term cognitive impairment is not feasible.
