J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2024; 38:1932-1940. [PMID: 38987101 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2024.05.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the incidence of delirium and early (at 1 week) postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) between propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and volatile anesthesia with sevoflurane in adult patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). DESIGN This was a prospective randomized single-blinded study. SETTING The study was conducted at a single institution, the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, a tertiary care institution and university-level teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS Seventy-two patients undergoing elective CABG under CPB participated in this study. INTERVENTIONS This study was conducted on 72 adult patients (>18 years) undergoing elective CABG under CPB who were randomized to receive propofol or sevoflurane. Anesthetic depth was monitored to maintain the bispectral index between 40 and 60. Delirium was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit. Early POCD was diagnosed when there was a reduction of >2 points in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment score compared to baseline. Cerebral oximetry changes using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), atheroma grades, and intraoperative variables were compared between the 2 groups. MEASUREMENTS & MAIN RESULTS Seventy-two patients were randomized to receive propofol (n = 36) or sevoflurane (n = 36). The mean patient age was 59.4 ± 8.6 years. The baseline and intraoperative variables, including atheroma grades, NIRS values, hemoglobin, glycemic control, and oxygenation, were comparable in the 2 groups. Fifteen patients (21.7%) patients developed delirium, and 31 patients (44.9%) had early POCD. The incidence of delirium was higher with sevoflurane (n = 12; 34.2%) compared to propofol (n = 3; 8.8%) (odds ratio [OR], 1.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.13-2.62; p = 0.027)*. POCD was higher with sevoflurane (n = 20; 57.1%) compared to propofol (n = 11; 32.3%) (OR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.01-2.62; p = 0.038)*. In patients aged >65 years, delirium was higher with sevoflurane (7/11; 63.6%) compared to propofol (1/7; 14.2%) (p = 0.03)*. CONCLUSIONS Propofol-based TIVA was associated with a lower incidence of delirium and POCD compared to sevoflurane in this cohort of patients undergoing CABG under CPB. Large-scale, multicenter randomized trials with longer follow-up are needed to substantiate the clinical relevance of this observation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peri-operative neurocognitive disorders are one of the most common complications affecting older adults after anaesthesia and surgery. It is not clear how exposure to surgery and anaesthesia contributes to the prevalence of long-term neurocognitive disorders. This study aimed to report the prevalence of neurocognitive disorders, and explore pre-operative factors associated with neurocognitive disorders 5 years after elective orthopaedic surgery. METHODS A prospective, 5-year longitudinal, cohort study was performed recruiting patients (aged ≥ 60 y) undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery and a contemporaneous non-surgical control group. Neurocognitive disorder was evaluated and classified at baseline and 5-year review incorporating: self- and informant-reported cognition; functional participation; and performance on neuropsychological tests. RESULTS Recruitment at 5-year follow-up included 195 patients and 21 control participants. In the patient cohort the prevalence of neurocognitive disorder was 38.1% (n = 75), with 61 (30.1%) meeting the criteria for mild neurocognitive disorder and 14 (7.1%) for major neurocognitive disorder. At 5-year follow-up, 121 (61.4%) patients were classified with a neurocognitive disorder, with 88 (44.7%) characterised with mild neurocognitive disorder and 33 (16.8%) with major neurocognitive disorder. Age (odds ratio (95%CI) 1.07 (1.02-1.13); p = 0.01) and baseline cognitive impairment (odds ratio (95%CI) 2.1 (1.06-4.15); p = 0.03) were significant predictors of neurocognitive disorder 5 years after surgery. CONCLUSION More than half of older adult patients had some form of neurocognitive disorder 5 years after elective orthopaedic surgery. Surgery and anaesthesia may be associated with the trajectory of cognitive decline in at-risk older adults, including those with pre-operative cognitive impairment. Cognitive screening should be factored into pre-operative assessments of older adults to inform subsequent care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) manifests as a subtle decline in cognition, potentially leading to unfavourable postoperative outcomes. We explored the impact of POCD on physical function, length of hospital stay (LOS), dementia and mortality outcomes. METHODS PubMed and Scopus were searched until May 2023. All studies of major surgical patients that assessed POCD and outcomes of interest were included. POCD effects were stratified by surgery type (cardiac and noncardiac) and time of POCD assessment (<30 and ≥30 days postsurgery). RESULTS Of 2316 studies, 20 met the inclusion criteria. POCD was not associated with functional decline postsurgery. Patients who experienced POCD postcardiac surgery had an increased relative risk (RR) of death of 2.04 [(95% CI: 1.18, 3.50); I2 = 0.00%]. Sensitivity analyses showed associations with intermediate-term mortality among noncardiac surgical patients, with an RR of 1.84 [(95% CI: 1.26, 2.71); I2 = 0.00%]. Patients who developed POCD <30 days postcardiac and noncardiac surgeries experienced longer LOS than those who did not [mean difference (MD) = 1.37 days (95% CI: 0.35, 2.39); I2 = 92.38% and MD = 1.94 days (95% CI: 0.48, 3.40); I2 = 83.29%, respectively]. Postoperative delirium (POD) may contribute to the heterogeneity observed, but limited data were reported within the studies included. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing cardiac and noncardiac surgeries who developed POCD <30 days postsurgery had poorer outcomes and an increased risk of premature death. Early recognition of perioperative neurocognitive disorders in at-risk patients may enable early intervention. However, POD may confound our findings, with further studies necessary to disentangle the effects of POD from POCD on clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Experimental laboratory research has an important role to play in dementia prevention. Mechanisms underlying modifiable risk factors for dementia are promising targets for dementia prevention but are difficult to investigate in human populations due to technological constraints and confounds. Therefore, controlled laboratory experiments in models such as transgenic rodents, invertebrates and in vitro cultured cells are increasingly used to investigate dementia risk factors and test strategies which target them to prevent dementia. This review provides an overview of experimental research into 15 established and putative modifiable dementia risk factors: less early-life education, hearing loss, depression, social isolation, life stress, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, physical inactivity, heavy alcohol use, smoking, air pollution, anesthetic exposure, traumatic brain injury, and disordered sleep. It explores how experimental models have been, and can be, used to address questions about modifiable dementia risk and prevention that cannot readily be addressed in human studies. HIGHLIGHTS: Modifiable dementia risk factors are promising targets for dementia prevention. Interrogation of mechanisms underlying dementia risk is difficult in human populations. Studies using diverse experimental models are revealing modifiable dementia risk mechanisms. We review experimental research into 15 modifiable dementia risk factors. Laboratory science can contribute uniquely to dementia prevention.

Abstract
Brain dysfunction resulting from damage to the heart-brain link leads to a decline in cognitive function. This, in turn, gives rise to the clinical symptom of perioperative delirium in patients undergoing coronary artery revascularization. Those affected are provided symptomatic treatment, but many do not recover fully. Thus, medium- and long-term mortality and adverse event rates remain relatively high in patients with perioperative delirium. Despite the relatively high incidence of perioperative delirium in patients undergoing coronary artery revascularization, it has not been systematically investigated. Inflammation, vascular damage, neuronal damage, and embolism are all involved in the injury process. Here, we discuss the incidence rate, pathological mechanisms, and prognosis of delirium after coronary artery revascularization. We also discuss in detail the risk factors for delirium after coronary artery revascularization, such as anxiety, depression, mode of operation, and drug use. We hope that prevention, early diagnosis, assessment, and potential treatment can be achieved by cardiologists to improve patient prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND POCD is a common complication among patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), it is linked to loss of independence and reduced quality of life. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To examine the association between postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), postoperative delirium (POD) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). DESIGN A prospective cohort study. METHODS Patients who underwent elective isolated CABG were enrolled. POCD was assessed by a set of cognitive function tools. Delirium was assessed using the CAM-ICU. The logistic regression analyses were used to identify the predictive value of POD or IL-6 on POCD. The path analysis was used to analyse the relationship among POD, IL-6 and POCD. RESULTS A total of 212 patients were enrolled, with 25.0% of patients developing POD and 32.5% developing POCD. The multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that patients with POD had a four-fold increased hazard of POCD (OR = 3.655), and patients with IL-6 ≥ 830.50 pg/mL at the 6th hours after surgery had a 5-fold increased risk of experiencing POCD (OR = 5.042). However, the mediation effect of POD between IL-6 and POCD was not statistically significant (β = 0.059, p = .392). CONCLUSIONS POD and IL-6 at the 6th hour after surgery (≥830.50 pg/mL) are two potent predictors for POCD, while POD did not play a mediation effect between IL-6 and POCD. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Early identification of risk factors (e.g., delirium assessment and testing for serum IL-6 levels) by clinical nurses for POCD may contribute to the clinical practice for the targeted prevention nursing strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk of incident dementia after surgery in older adults is unclear. The study objective was to examine the rate of incident dementia among older adults after elective surgery compared with a matched nonsurgical control group. METHODS We conducted a population-based, propensity-matched retrospective cohort study using data from linked administrative databases in Ontario, Canada. All community-dwelling individuals aged 66 years and older who underwent one of five major elective surgeries between April 1, 2007 and March 31, 2011 were included. Each surgical patient was matched 1:1 on surgical specialty of the surgeon at consultation, age, sex, fiscal year of entry, and propensity score with a patient who attended an outpatient visit with a surgeon of the same surgical specialty but did not undergo surgery. Patients were followed for up to 5 years after cohort entry for the occurrence of a new dementia diagnosis, defined from administrative data. Cause-specific hazard models were used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association between surgery and the hazard of incident dementia. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed. RESULTS A total of 27,878 individuals (13,939 matched pairs) were included in the analysis. A total of 640 (4.6%) individuals in the surgical group and 965 (6.9%) individuals in the control group developed dementia over the 5-year follow-up period. Individuals who underwent surgery had a reduced rate of incident dementia compared with their matched nonsurgical controls (HR 0.88; 95% CI 0.80-0.97; p = 0.01). This association was persistent in most subgroups and after sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS Elective surgery did not increase the rate of incident dementia when compared with matched nonsurgical controls. This could be an important consideration for patients and surgeons when elective surgery is considered.

J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2024; 11:136. [PMID: 38786959 PMCID: PMC11122102 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd11050136] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) with a biological heart valve prosthesis (BHV) is often used as a treatment in elderly patients with symptomatic aortic valve disease. This age group is also at risk for the development of dementia in the years following SAVR. The research question is "what are the predictors for the development of dementia?". In 1500 patients undergoing SAVR with or without an associated procedure, preoperative (demographic, cardiac and non-cardiac comorbid conditions), perioperative (associated procedures, cross-clamp and cardiopulmonary bypass time) and postoperative 30-day adverse events (bleeding, thromboembolism, heart failure, conduction defects, arrhythmias, delirium, renal and pulmonary complications) were investigated for their effect on the occurrence of dementia by univariate analyses. Significant factors were entered in a multivariate analysis. The sum of the individual follow-up of the patients was 10,182 patient-years, with a mean follow-up of 6.8 years. Data for the development of dementia could be obtained in 1233 of the 1406 patients who left the hospital alive. Dementia during long-term follow-up developed in 216/1233 (17.2%) of the patients at 70 ± 37 months. Development of dementia reduced the mean survival from 123 (119-128) to 109 (102-116) months (p < 0.001). Postoperative delirium was the dominant predictor (OR = 3.55 with a 95%CI of 2.41-4.93; p < 0.00), followed by age > 80 years (2.38; 1.78-3.18; p < 0.001); preoperative atrial fibrillation (1.47; 1.07-2.01; p = 0.018); cardiopulmonary bypass time > 120 min (1.34; 1.02-1.78; p = 0.039) and postoperative thromboembolism (1.94; 1.02-3.70; p = 0.044). Postoperative delirium, as a marker for poor condition, and an age of 80 or more were the dominant predictors.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Postoperative delirium is a common and impactful neuropsychiatric complication in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. Cognitive training may enhance cognitive reserve, thereby reducing postoperative delirium. OBJECTIVE To determine whether preoperative cognitive training reduces the incidence of delirium in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. DESIGN, SETTING, and PARTICIPANTS This prospective, single-blind, randomized clinical trial was conducted at 3 university teaching hospitals in southeastern China with enrollment between April 2022 and May 2023. Eligible participants included those scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass grafting who consented and enrolled at least 10 days before surgery. INTERVENTIONS Participating patients were randomly assigned 1:1, stratified by site, to either routine care or cognitive training, which included substantial practice with online tasks designed to enhance cognitive functions including memory, imagination, reasoning, reaction time, attention, and processing speed. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was occurrence of delirium during postoperative days 1 to 7 or until hospital discharge, diagnosed using the Confusion Assessment Method or the Confusion Assessment Method for Intensive Care Units. Secondary outcomes were postoperative cognitive dysfunction, delirium characteristics, and all-cause mortality within 30 days following the operation. RESULTS A total of 218 patients were randomized and 208 (median [IQR] age, 66 [58-70] years; 64 female [30.8%] and 144 male [69.2%]) were included in final analysis, with 102 randomized to cognitive training and 106 randomized to routine care. Of all participants, 95 (45.7%) had only a primary school education and 54 (26.0%) had finished high school. In the cognitive training group, 28 participants (27.5%) developed delirium compared with 46 participants (43.4%) randomized to routine care. Those receiving cognitive training were 57% less likely to develop delirium compared with those receiving routine care (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.43; 95% CI, 0.23-0.77; P = .007). Significant differences were observed in the incidence of severe delirium (aOR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.25-0.82; P = .01), median (IQR) duration of delirium (0 [0-1] days for cognitive training vs 0 [0-2] days for routine care; P = .008), and median (IQR) number of delirium-positive days (0 [0-1] days for cognitive training vs 0 [0-2] days for routine care; P = .007). No other secondary outcomes differed significantly. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this randomized trial of 208 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, preoperative cognitive training reduced the incidence of postoperative delirium. However, our primary analysis was based on fewer than 75 events and should therefore be considered exploratory and a basis for future larger trials.

Remote ischemic preconditioning and cognitive dysfunction following coronary artery bypass grafting: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Saudi J Anaesth 2024; 18:187-193. [PMID: 38654856 PMCID: PMC11033882 DOI: 10.4103/sja.sja_751_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common neurological issue following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-assisted heart surgery. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) increases the tolerance of vital organs to ischemia/reperfusion injury, leading to reduced brain injury biomarkers and improved cognitive control. However, the exact mechanisms underlying RIPC's neuroprotective effects remain unclear. This systematic review aimed to explore the hypothesis that RIPC lowers neurocognitive dysfunction in patients undergoing CPB surgery. Method All relevant studies were searched in PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, Scopus, and Cochrane Library database. Assessment of study quality was carried out by two independent reviewers individually using the Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB-2) tool. Meta-analysis was performed using a fixed-effect model due to low heterogeneity among studies, except for those with substantial heterogeneity. Results A total of five studies with 1,843 participants were included in the meta-analysis. RIPC was not associated with reduced incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (five RCTs, odds ratio [OR:] 0.79, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.56-1.11) nor its improvement (three RCTs, OR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.50-1.27). In addition, the analysis of the effect of RIPC on specific cognitive function tests found that pooled SMD for RAVLT 1-3 and RAVLT LT were -0.07 (95% CI: -0.25,012) and -0.04 (95% CI: -0.25-0.12), respectively, and for VFT semantic and phonetic were -0.15 (95% CI: -0.33-0.04) and 0.11 (95% CI: -0.40-0.62), respectively. Conclusion The effect of RIPC on cognitive performance in CABG patients remained insignificant. Results from previous studies were unable to justify the use of RIPC as a neuroprotective agent in CABG patients.

Abstract
Background Postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) after cardiosurgical interventions are well described through objective psychometric tests. However, a patient's subjective perception is essential to clinical assessment and quality of life. This study systematically evaluated patient-reported POCD between subjects undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and heart valve replacement. Methods This study was a multicentre, prospective questionnaire survey conducted at the cardiac surgery departments at the Kerckhoff Clinic in Bad Nauheim and the University Hospital in Giessen, Germany. We included patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aortic valve replacement (AVR), mitral valve replacement or reconstruction (MVR), and combined surgery (CABG + valve replacement [VR]) with extracorporeal circulation. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) for Self-assessment (CFQ-S), and the external assessment (CFQ-foreign [F]) were completed preoperatively, as well as at 3 and 12 months postoperatively. Results A total of 491 patients were available for analyses (CABG = 182, AVR = 134, MVR = 93, CABG + VR = 82). POCD and postoperative depression increase (PODI) were observed for each surgical procedure. (At the 3-month follow-up: CFQ-S [CABG = 7.1%, AVR = 3.7%, MVR = 9.7%, CABG + VR = 9.8%]; CFQ-F [CABG = 9.9%, AVR = 9.7%, MVR = 9.7%, CABG + VR = 15.9%]; PODI [CABG = 7.7%, AVR = 9.7%, MVR = 6.5%, CABG + VR = 8.5%]. At the 12-month follow-up: CFQ-S [CABG = 6.6%, AVR = 7.5%, MVR = 15.1%, CABG + VR = 7.3%]; CFQ-F [CABG = 7.1%, AVR = 14.9%, MVR = 10.8%, CABG + VR = 9.8%]; PODI [CABG = 10.4%, AVR = 11.2%, MVR = 6.5%, CABG + VR = 4.9%]). No significant between-group effects were observed for the CFQ-S, CFQ-F, or the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Conclusions For clinicians, paying attention to patients' self-reported experiences of reduced cognitive function and symptoms of depression following cardiac surgery is important. Such reporting is an indication that interventions such as cognitive training or psychotherapy should be considered.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2024; 10:1335572. [PMID: 38371735 PMCID: PMC10870772 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1335572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is an abbreviation of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, which remains challenging for diagnosis and treatment. Current study aims to explore the correlation between geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and osteoporosis, sarcopenia, cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients with CHD, and to analyze the clinical diagnostic value of GNRI in the above complications. A total of 92 elderly patients with CHD treated in Suzhou Ninth People's Hospital from January 2020 to October 2023 were retrospectively collected as the experimental group, and 68 non-CHD subjects matched for sex and age in the same period of physical examination were randomly selected as the control group. Osteoporosis, sarcopenia and cognitive dysfunction were analyzed in all patients, and the correlation between GNRI and these indices in different populations was analyzed by Spearman's rank correlation. The diagnostic efficacy of GNRI in osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and cognitive impairment was analyzed by ROC curves. There was no significant difference in age, sex distribution, body mass index (BMI) and serum biological indexes between the elderly patients with CHD and the control group (all P > 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that GNRI level was positively correlated with bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD) T value and osteocalcin (OCN) (All r > 0, P < 0.05). In addition, GNRI levels were positively correlated with skeletal muscle mass (ASMI), grip strength and calf circumference (CC) (All r > 0, P < 0.05). However, there was no significant correlation between GNRI levels and cognitive dysfunction-related indicators (P > 0.05). In the elderly and elderly with CHD, the diagnostic AUC of GNRI was 0.875 and 0.862 in osteoporosis, and 0.912 and 0.932 in sarcopenia, respectively. The level of GNRI is significantly correlated with osteoporosis and sarcopenia. GNRI level, as an auxiliary diagnostic tool in elderly patients with CHD, exerts important clinical significance for early detection of the risk of complications, such as osteoporosis and sarcopenia.

Abstract
Background Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and postoperative delirium (POD) are common post-surgical complications that often lead to prolonged hospitalization, reduced quality of life, increased healthcare costs, and increased patient mortality. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of preoperative cognitive function training on postoperative cognitive function. Methods PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, VIP Database, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database were searched for randomized controlled trials comparing the effects of preoperative cognitive function training and conventional preoperative measures on postoperative cognitive function. The search period spanned from the establishment of the databases to March 31, 2023. The primary outcomes were the incidence of POCD and POD. Results Eleven randomized controlled trials involving 1,045 patients were included. The results of the meta-analysis showed that, compared to the control group, preoperative cognitive function training significantly reduced the incidence of POCD (RR = 0.38, P < 0.00001), and there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of POD (P = 0.3). Cognitive function training significantly improved postoperative cognitive function scores compared with the control group (MD = 1.92, P = 0.001). In addition, two studies reported that 10% of the patients in the cognitive training group completed a pre-set training duration. Conclusion Cognitive function training significantly reduced the incidence of POCD; however, there was no significant difference in the incidence of POD. Preoperative cognitive function training should be promoted and emphasized as a simple, economical, and practical method of improving postoperative cognitive function.

Abstract
Background Surgery may be associated with postoperative cognitive impairment in elder participants, yet the extent of its association with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) remains undetermined. Objective To determine the relationship between surgery and MCI. Methods The data of participants from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative were analyzed, including individuals with MCI or normal cognition. We focused on surgeries conducted after the age of 45, categorized by the number of surgeries, surgical risk, and the age at which surgeries occurred. Multivariable logistic regression was employed to determine the association between surgery and the development of MCI. Results The study is comprised of 387 individuals with MCI and 578 cognitively normal individuals. The overall surgery exposure (adjusted OR = 1.14, [95% CI 0.83, 1.56], p = 0.43) and the number of surgeries (adjusted OR = 0.92 [0.62, 1.36], p = 0.67 for single exposure, adjusted OR = 1.12 [0.71, 1.78], p = 0.63 for two exposures, adjusted OR = 1.38 [0.95, 2.01], p = 0.09 for three or more exposures compared to no exposure as the reference) were not associated with the development of MCI. However, high-risk surgeries (adjusted OR = 1.79 [1.00, 3.21], p = 0.049) or surgeries occurring after the age of 75 (adjusted OR = 2.01 [1.03, 3.90], p = 0.041) were associated with a greater risk of developing MCI. Conclusions High risk surgeries occurring at an older age contribute to the development of MCI, indicating a complex of mechanistic insights for the development of postoperative cognitive impairment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Postoperative delirium is a prominent and clinically important complication in older adults after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, resulting in prolonged hospital stay, long-term cognitive impairment and increased morbidity and mortality. Many studies have shown that cerebral desaturation is associated with increased risk of postoperative delirium during on-pump cardiac surgery. However, few studies have focused on the effect of optimising regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) on postoperative delirium during off-pump CABG. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether intraoperative anaesthetic management based on percutaneous cerebral oximetry monitoring decreases the incidence of postoperative delirium in older adults undergoing off-pump CABG. METHODS This single-centre randomised controlled trial will randomly assign 200 patients to the intervention group or the control group at a ratio of 1:1. The patients in the intervention group will be observed by percutaneous cerebral oximetry monitoring that the desaturation (a drop of more than 20% from baseline value or rSO2 less than 55% for >60 consecutive seconds at either probe) during the procedure triggered the intervention strategies, while the cerebral oximetry data of the control group will be hidden from the clinical team and patients will be anaesthetised by the usual anaesthetic management. The primary outcome will be the incidence of postoperative delirium during the first 7 days after off-pump CABG. Delirium will be comprehensively evaluated by the combination of the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale and the Confusion Assessment Method for the intensive care unit. The secondary outcomes will include the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury and myocardial infarction during the hospital stay, as well as the intensive care unit and hospital length of stay. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Fuwai Hospital (No 2022-1824). Written informed consent will be obtained from each patient or their legal representatives before enrolment. The results of this trial will be published in an international peer-reviewed scientific journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR2300068537.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) or decreased health-related quality of life (HQL) have been reported after cardiac surgery. A previous investigation showed beneficial effects of postoperative cognitive training on POCD and HQL 3 months after heart surgery. Here, we present the 12-month follow-up results. METHODS This bicentric, 1:1 randomised and treatment-as-usual controlled trial included elderly patients scheduled for elective heart valve surgery. The training consisted of paper-and-pencil-based exercises practising multiple cognitive functions for 36 min/day 6 days/week over a period of 3 weeks. Neuropsychological tests and questionnaires assessing HQL (36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)) and cognitive failures in daily living (Cognitive Failures Questionnaire) were performed presurgery and 12 months after training. RESULTS Twelve months post training, the training group (n=30) showed improvements in HQL compared with the control group (n=28), especially in role limitations due to physical health (U=-2.447, p=0.015, η2=0.109), role limitations due to emotional problems (U=-2.245, p=0.025, η2=0.092), pain (U=-1.979, p=0.049, η2=0.068), average of all SF-36 factors (U=-3.237, p<0.001, η2=0.181), health change from the past year to the present time (U=-2.091, p=0.037, η2=0.075), physical component summary (U=-2.803, p=0.005, η2=0.138), and mental component summary (U=-2.350, p=0.018, η2=0.095). Furthermore, the training group (n=19) showed an improvement compared with the control group (n=27) in visual recognition memory (U=-2.137, p=0.034, η2=0.099). POCD frequency was 22% (n=6) in the control group and 11% (n=2) in the training group (χ²(1) =1.06, p=0.440; OR=2.43, 95% CI 0.43 to 13.61). CONCLUSION In conclusion, postoperative cognitive training shows enhancing effects on HQL in cardiac surgery patients after 12 months.

Comparison of early mobilization protocols on postoperative cognitive dysfunction, pain, and length of hospital stay in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery: A randomized controlled trial. Appl Nurs Res 2023; 73:151731. [PMID: 37722799 DOI: 10.1016/j.apnr.2023.151731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 08/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/20/2023]
Abstract
Although coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery improves the life expectancy of patients with coronary artery disease, it is associated with various short and long-term complications. Early mobilization has been shown to reduce the risk of these complications. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of different early mobilization protocols on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), pain intensity, and length of hospital stay (LOS) in patients undergoing CABG. This three-arm parallel randomized controlled trial included 120 patients undergoing CABG surgery who were randomly assigned to Intervention A, which received a four-phase early mobilization protocol; Intervention B, which received a three-phase early mobilization protocol; and the Control group, which received routine care. Postoperative cognitive dysfunction and pain were assessed using Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and visual analog scale (VAS), respectively. Groups were comparable in demographic and clinical characteristics and postoperative cognitive dysfunction at baseline. After the intervention, Group B had statistically significantly (p < 0.001) less cognitive dysfunction (25.8 ± 1.7) compared to Group A (24.1 ± 2.2) and the Control Group (23.4 ± 2.7). Likewise, hospital stay was statistically (p < 0.01) shorter for Group B (7.7 ± 1.5) than the Control group (8.9 ± 1.9). However, the experience of pain was statistically significantly lower over time in Group A than in the other groups (p < 0.001). This study concludes that an early mobilization protocol based on deep breathing exercises and chest physiotherapy may better improve postoperative cognitive dysfunction and length of hospital stay than an early mobilization protocol based on passive and active range of motion activities or routine care.

Althukair WT, Nuhmani S. Effect of different coronary artery revascularization procedures on cognition: A systematic review. Heliyon 2023; 9:e19735. [PMID: 37810024 PMCID: PMC10558982 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e19735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Coronary revascularization interventions have been associated with post-intervention cognitive decline. Hence, this systematic review aims to compare the long-term effects of different coronary revascularization interventions on cognition. The Cochrane Library and MEDLINE databases were searched for articles published between January 2009 and January 2023. Articles on clinical trials and cohort studies that compared at least two different interventions with a minimum three months follow up were included to evaluate the consequences of different intervention techniques on cognition. Each selected study was evaluated using a revised tool to assess the risk of bias in randomized trials (RoB 2), and Risk of Bias In Non-Randomized Studies - of Interventions(ROBINS-1) was used for evaluating non-randomized studies. Five eligible studies, with four different comparisons, were included. Out of these studies, three RCTs and two cohort studies were included A participants gone through different procedures; on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (CCPB), the miniaturized cardiopulmonary bypass (MCPB) and endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting (Endo-CABG). These comparisons showed that different interventions have different effects on cognition; however, there is no solid evidence of correlations between them. Thus, the results of this review suggest that there should be greater focus on comparing interventions and that a reasonable follow-up duration should be set to avoid the influence of confounders. There is also a need to determine the effect of long-term cognitive decline while reducing interference by other variables.

Abstract
Objective Mechanisms of neurocognitive injury as post-operative sequelae of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are not understood. The systemic inflammatory response to surgical stress causes skeletal muscle impairment, and this is also worsened by immobility. Since evidence supports a link between muscle vitality and neuroprotection, there is a need to understand the mechanisms by which promotion of muscle activity counteracts the deleterious effects of surgery on long-term cognition. Methods We performed a clinical trial to test the hypothesis that adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to standard rehabilitation care in post-CABG patients promotes the maintenance of skeletal muscle strength and the expression of circulating neuroprotective myokines. Results We did not find higher serum levels of neuroprotective myokines, except for interleukin-6, nor better long-term cognitive performance in our intervention group. However, a greater increase in functional connectivity at brain magnetic resonance was seen between seed regions within the default mode, frontoparietal, salience, and sensorimotor networks in the NMES group. Regardless of the treatment protocol, patients with a Klotho increase 3 months after hospital discharge compared to baseline Klotho values showed better scores in delayed memory tests. Significance We confirm the potential neuroprotective effect of Klotho in a clinical setting and for the first time post-CABG.

Abstract
Cognitive impairment (CI) shares common cardiovascular risk factors with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and is increasingly prevalent in our ageing population. Whilst AMI is associated with increased rates of CI, CI remains underreported and infrequently identified in patients with AMI. In this review, we discuss the evidence surrounding AMI and its links to dementia and CI, including pathophysiology, risk factors, management and interventions. Vascular dysregulation plays a major role in CI, with atherosclerosis, platelet activation, microinfarcts and perivascular inflammation resulting in neurovascular unit dysfunction, disordered homeostasis and a dysfunctional neurohormonal response. This subsequently affects perfusion pressure, resulting in enlarged periventricular spaces and hippocampal sclerosis. The increased platelet activation seen in coronary artery disease (CAD) can also result in inflammation and amyloid-β protein deposition which is associated with Alzheimer's Dementia. Post-AMI, reduced blood pressure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction can cause chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, cerebral infarction and failure of normal circulatory autoregulatory mechanisms. Patients who undergo coronary revascularization (percutaneous coronary intervention or bypass surgery) are at increased risk for post-procedure cognitive impairment, though whether this is related to the intervention itself or underlying cardiovascular risk factors is debated. Mortality rates are higher in dementia patients with AMI, and post-AMI CI is more prevalent in the elderly and in patients with post-AMI heart failure. Medical management (antiplatelet, statin, renin-angiotensin system inhibitors, cardiac rehabilitation) can reduce the risk of post-AMI CI; however, beta-blockers may be associated with functional decline in patients with existing CI. The early identification of those with dementia or CI who present with AMI is important, as subsequent tailoring of management strategies can potentially improve outcomes as well as guide prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the global public health problem which has been associated with increasing prevalence of modifiable CVDs risk factors. This study aimed to describe the prevalence and knowledge of modifiable CVDs risk factors among vulnerable population of Central Tanzania. METHODS A community-based cross-sectional study design was employed. A total of 749 participants were interviewed. The socio-demographic information and modifiable CVDs risk factors (behavioral and biological) were measured using a modified World Health Organization (WHO) STEPwise approach for chronic disease risk factor surveillance. Knowledge of modifiable CVDs risk factors was measured by comprehensive heart disease knowledge questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the knowledge and prevalence of modifiable CVDs risk factors. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the factors associated with adequate knowledge of CVDs risk factors. RESULTS The prevalence of béhavioral risk factors were; current smokers and alcohol consumers were 4.4% and 18.0% respectively, use of raw salt was 43.7%, consumption of fruit/vegetables < 5 days per week was 56.9%. The prevalence of Biological CVDs risk factors was as follows: Overall, 63.5% (33.3% overweight and 29.9% obese) were overweight or obese, 4.5% were diabetic and 43.4% were hypertensive. Only 35.4% of participants had adequate knowledge of CVDs risk factors. Being a male (AOR = 1.44, 95%CI = 1.01-2.06, p < .05), having primary education (AOR = 6.43, 95%CI = 2.39-17.36, p < .0001), being employed (AOR = 1.59, 95%CI = 1.00-2.52, p < .05), ever checked blood pressure (AOR = 0.59, 95%CI = 0.42-0.84, p < .001), family history of hypertension (AOR = 0.38, 95%CI = 0.25-0.57, p < .0001) determined adequate knowledge of CVDs risk factors. CONCLUSIONS This study has revealed a high prevalence of modifiable CVDs risk factors and low knowledge of CVDs risk factors. Community health promotion interventions to increase population knowledge of CVDs risk factors are recommended for the efficacious reduction of CVDs in the country.

Abstract
There are increasing rates of cardiac surgery in the elderly. Frailty, depression, and social vulnerability are frequently present in older people, and should be considered while assessing risk and providing treatment options. We aimed to analyse the impact of clinically relevant variables on survival at one year, and identify areas of future intervention. We performed a prospective cohort study at a University Hospital, with a sample of 309 elective cardiac surgery patients 65 years old and over. Their socio-demographic and clinical variables were collected. Frailty prevalence was 61.3%, while depression was absent in the majority of patients. Mortality was 1.6% and 7.8% at 30 days and 12 months, respectively. After Kaplan-Meier analysis, severe frailty (p = 0.003), severe depression (p = 0.027), pneumonia until 30 days (p = 0.014), and re-operation until 12 months (p = 0.003) significantly reduced survival, while social support increased survival (p = 0.004). In the adjusted multivariable Cox regression model, EuroSCORE II (HR = 1.27 [95% CI 1.069-1.499] p = 0.006), pneumonia until 30 days (HR = 4.19 [95% CI 1.169-15.034] p = 0.028), re-intervention until 12 months (HR = 3.14 [95% CI 1.091-9.056] p = 0.034), and social support (HR = 0.24 [95% CI 0.079-0.727] p = 0.012) explained time until death. Regular screening for social support, depression, and frailty adds relevant information regarding risk stratification, perioperative interventions, and decision-making in older people considered for cardiac surgery.

CABG Patients Develop Global DNA Hypermethylation, That Negatively Affect the Mitochondrial Function and Promote Post-Surgical Cognitive Decline: A Proof of Concept in Small Cohort. J Clin Med 2023; 12:4146.

Abstract
Global DNA hypermethylation and mitochondrial dysfunction are reported to be associated with the development of mild cognitive decline (MCI). The present study aims to generate preliminary data that connect the above association with post-surgical coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) cognitive decline in patients. Data were collected from 70 CABG patients and 25 age-matched controls. Cognitive function was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) test on day 1 (before surgery) and on the day of discharge. Similarly, blood was collected before and one day after the CABG procedure for mitochondrial functional analysis and expression of DNA methylation genes. Test analysis score suggested 31 (44%) patients had MCI before discharge. These patients showed a significant decrease in complex I activity and an increase in malondialdehyde levels (p < 0.001) from the control blood samples. Post-surgical samples showed a significant reduction in blood MT-ND1 mRNA expression from control and from pre-surgical samples (p < 0.005), along with elevated DNMT1 gene expression (p < 0.047), with an insignificant increase in TET1 and TET3 gene expression. Correlation analysis showed a significant positive relation between cognitive decline and elevated blood DNMT1 and declined blood complex I activity, signifying that cognitive decline experienced by post-surgical CABG patients is associated with increased DNMT1 expression and declined complex I activity. Based on the data, we conclude that both DNA hypermethylation and mitochondrial dysfunction are associated with post-CABG MCI, where the former is negatively correlated, and the latter is positively correlated with post-surgical MCI in CABG cases. Additionally, a multimarker approach that comprises MOCA, DNA methylation, DNMT, and NQR activities can be utilized to stratify the population that is sensitive to developing post-CABG MCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurocognitive decline (NCD) is a common complication of cardiac surgery. Understanding risk factors helps surgeons counsel patients pre- and perioperatively about risk, prevention, and treatment. STUDY DESIGN Patients undergoing cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass underwent pre- and postoperative neurocognitive testing. Neurocognitive data are presented as a change from baseline to either postoperative day 4 or to 1 month. The score is standardized with respect to age. RESULTS Eighty-four patients underwent surgery and completed postoperative neurocognitive testing. There was no significant difference in baseline neurocognitive function. NCD was more common in female patients (71%) than male patients (26.4%) on postoperative day 4. By 1 month, the incidence of NCD is similar between female (15.0%) and male patients (14.3%). Of note, female patients differed from male patients in preoperative hematocrit, preoperative creatinine, and type of surgery. CONCLUSIONS In the acute postoperative period, female patients are both more likely to experience NCD and experience a more severe change from baseline cognitive function. This difference between male and female patients resolves by the 1 month follow-up point. Female patients had a lower preoperative hematocrit and were more likely to receive intraoperative and perioperative blood transfusion. Lower preoperative hematocrit appears to mediate the difference in NCD between male and female patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the safety profile of antegrade mitomycin gel instillation through a percutaneous nephrostomy tube (PCNT) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) with the aim of decreasing morbidity associated with therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients undergoing antegrade administration of mitomycin gel via PCNT were retrospectively included for analysis from four tertiary referral centres between 2020 and 2022. The primary outcome was safety profile, as graded by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (v5.0). Post-therapy disease burden was assessed by primary disease evaluation (PDE) via ureteroscopy. RESULTS Thirty-two patients received at least one dose of mitomycin gel via PCNT for UTUC, 29 of whom completed induction and underwent PDE. Thirteen patients (41%) had residual tumour present prior to induction therapy. At a median of 15.0 months following first dose of induction therapy, ureteric stenosis occurred in three patients (9%), all of whom were treated without later recurrence or chronic stenosis. Other adverse events included fatigue (27%), flank pain (19%), urinary tract infection (12%), sepsis (8%) and haematuria (8%). No patients had impaired renal function during follow-up and there were no treatment-related deaths. Seventeen patients (59%) had no evidence of disease at PDE and have not experienced recurrence at a median follow-up of 13.0 months post induction. CONCLUSIONS Administration of mitomycin gel via a PCNT offers a low rate of ureteric stenosis, demonstrates a favourable safety profile, and is administered without general anaesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart surgery is a risk factor for objectively and subjectively assessable postoperative cognitive decline (POCD), which is relevant for everyday life. The aim of this study was to investigate whether early postoperative cognitive training has an impact on health-related quality of life and cognitive failures in daily living after cardiac surgery. METHODS The study was a two-arm, randomized, controlled, outcome-blinded trial involving older patients undergoing elective heart valve surgery with extracorporeal circulation (ECC). Recruitment took place at the Departments of Cardiac Surgery of the Kerckhoff Clinic in Bad Nauheim (Germany) and the University Hospital in Giessen (Germany). The patients were randomized (1:1 ratio) to either a paper-and-pencil-based cognitive training group or a control group. We applied the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) prior to surgery and 3 months after the cognitive training. Data were analyzed in a per-protocol fashion. RESULTS Three months after discharge from rehabilitation, the training group (n = 31) showed improvement in health-related quality of life compared to the control group (n = 29), especially in role limitations due to emotional problems (U = -2.649, p = .008, η2 = 0.121), energy and fatigue (F[2.55] = 5.72, p = .020, η2 = 0.062), social functioning (U = -2.137, p = .033, η2 = 0.076), the average of all SF-36 factors (U = -2.374, p = .018, η2 = 0.094), health change from the past year to the present time (U = -2.378, p = .017, η2 = 0.094), and the mental component summary (U = -2.470, p = .013, η2 = 0.102). CONCLUSION As our cognitive training has shown beneficial effects, this intervention could be a promising method to enhance health-related quality of life after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Background Cognitive impairments, including delirium, are common after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Improving cognition pre- and post-operatively using computerised cognitive training (CCT) may be an effective approach to improve cognitive outcomes in CABG patients. Objectives Investigate the effect of remotely supervised CCT on cognitive outcomes, including delirium, in older adults undergoing CABG surgery. Methods Thirty-six participants, were analysed in a single-blinded randomised controlled trial (CCT Intervention: n = 18, Control: n = 18). CCT was completed by the intervention group pre-operatively (every other day, 45-60-minute sessions until surgery) and post-operatively, beginning 1-month post-CABG (3 x 45-60-minute sessions/week for 12-weeks), while the control group maintained usual care plus weekly phone calls. Cognitive assessments were conducted pre- and post-operatively at multiple follow-ups (discharge, 4-months and 6-months). Post-operative delirium incidence was assessed daily until discharge. Cognitive change data were calculated at each follow-up for each cognitive test (Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination III and CANTAB; z-scored). Results Adherence to the CCT intervention (completion of three pre-operative or 66% of post-operative sessions) was achieved in 68% of pre-CABG and 59% of post-CABG participants. There were no statistically significant effects of CCT on any cognitive outcome, including delirium incidence. Conclusion Adherence to the CCT program was comparatively higher than previous feasibility studies, possibly due to the level of supervision and support provided (blend of face-to-face and home-based training, with support phone calls). Implementing CCT interventions both pre- and post-operatively is feasible in those undergoing CABG. No statistically significant benefits from the CCT interventions were identified for delirium or cognitive function post-CABG, likely due to the sample size available (study recruitment greatly impacted by COVID-19). It also may be the case that multimodal intervention would be more effective.

Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the main cardiovascular diseases that can cause disability and death across the globe. Although previous research explored the links between CHD and cognitive deficits, only a subset of cognitive abilities was analyzed and a small clinical sample size was used. Thus, the aim of the current study is to assess how CHD can affect the cognitive domains of episodic memory, semantic verbal fluency, fluid reasoning, and numerical ability in a large cohort of participants from the United Kingdom. Results revealed that episodic memory, semantic verbal fluency, fluid reasoning, and numerical ability are negatively affected by CHD. Prevention and intervention should be developed to preserve cognitive abilities in people with CHD, but more studies should explore specific ways of doing so.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The delirium-sparing effect of nighttime dexmedetomidine has not been studied after surgery. We hypothesised that a nighttime dose of dexmedetomidine would reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium as compared to placebo. METHODS This single-centre, parallel-arm, randomised, placebo-controlled superiority trial evaluated whether a short nighttime dose of intravenous dexmedetomidine (1 μg/kg over 40 min) would reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium in patients 60 years of age or older undergoing elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Patients were randomised to receive dexmedetomidine or placebo in a 1:1 ratio. The primary outcome was delirium on postoperative day one. Secondary outcomes included delirium within three days of surgery, 30-, 90-, and 180-day abbreviated Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores, Patient Reported Outcome Measures Information System quality of life scores, and all-cause mortality. The study was registered as NCT02856594 on ClinicalTrials.gov on August 5, 2016, before the enrolment of any participants. FINDINGS Of 469 patients that underwent randomisation to placebo (n = 235) or dexmedetomidine (n = 234), 75 met a prespecified drop criterion before the study intervention. Thus, 394 participants (188 dexmedetomidine; 206 placebo) were analysed in the modified intention-to-treat cohort (median age 69 [IQR 64, 74] years; 73.1% male [n = 288]; 26·9% female [n = 106]). Postoperative delirium status on day one was missing for 30 (7.6%) patients. Among those in whom it could be assessed, the primary outcome occurred in 5 of 175 patients (2.9%) in the dexmedetomidine group and 16 of 189 patients (8.5%) in the placebo group (OR 0.32, 95% CI: 0.10-0.83; P = 0.029). A non-significant but higher proportion of participants experienced delirium within three days postoperatively in the placebo group (25/177; 14.1%) compared to the dexmedetomidine group (14/160; 8.8%; OR 0.58; 95% CI, 0.28-1.15). No significant differences between groups were observed in secondary outcomes or safety. INTERPRETATION Our findings suggested that in elderly cardiac surgery patients with a low baseline risk of postoperative delirium and extubated within 12 h of ICU admission, a short nighttime dose of dexmedetomidine decreased the incidence of delirium on postoperative day one. Although non-statistically significant, our findings also suggested a clinical meaningful difference in the three-day incidence of postoperative delirium.

Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is cognitive decline after surgery. The authors hypothesized that gene-level changes could be involved in the pathogenesis of POCD. The present study evaluated the incidence of POCD and its associated differentially expressed genes. This was a prospective cohort study conducted on high-risk coronary artery bypass graft patients aged 40 to 75 years. POCD classification was based on a one standard deviation decline in the postoperative scores compared to the preoperative scores. The differentially expressed genes were identified using microarray analysis and validated using quantitative RT-PCR. Forty-six patients were recruited and completed the study. The incidence of POCD was identified using a set of neurocognitive assessments and found to be at 17% in these high-risk CABG patients. Six samples were selected for the gene expression analyses (3 non-POCD and 3 POCD samples). The findings showed five differentially expressed genes in the POCD group compared to the non-POCD group. The upregulated gene was ERFE, whereas the downregulated genes were KIR2DS2, KIR2DS3, KIR3DL2, and LIM2. According to the results, the gene expression profiles of POCD can be used to find potential proteins for POCD diagnostic and predictive biomarkers. Understanding the molecular mechanism of POCD development will further lead to early detection and intervention to reduce the severity of POCD, and hence, reduce the mortality and morbidity rate due to the condition.

The Future of Cardiothoracic Surgical Critical Care Medicine as a Medical Science: A Call to Action. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 59:47. [PMID: 36676669 PMCID: PMC9867461 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59010047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Cardiothoracic surgical critical care medicine (CT-CCM) is a medical discipline centered on the perioperative care of diverse groups of patients. With an aging demographic and an increase in burden of chronic diseases the utilization of cardiothoracic surgical critical care units is likely to escalate in the coming decades. Given these projections, it is important to assess the state of cardiothoracic surgical intensive care, to develop goals and objectives for the future, and to identify knowledge gaps in need of scientific inquiry. This two-part review concentrates on CT-CCM as its own subspeciality of critical care and cardiothoracic surgery and provides aspirational goals for its practitioners and scientists. In part one, a list of guiding principles and a call-to-action agenda geared towards growth and promotion of CT-CCM are offered. In part two, an evaluation of selected scientific data is performed, identifying gaps in CT-CCM knowledge, and recommending direction to future scientific endeavors.

Increasing preoperative cognitive reserve to prevent postoperative delirium and postoperative cognitive decline in cardiac surgical patients (INCORE): Study protocol for a randomized clinical trial on cognitive training. Front Neurol 2022; 13:1040733. [PMID: 36578306 PMCID: PMC9791586 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.1040733] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) can be observed after cardiosurgical interventions. Taken together, these postoperative neurocognitive disorders (PNCDs) contribute to increased morbidity and mortality. Preoperative risk factors of PNCD, such as decreased neuropsychometric performance or decreased cognitive daily activities, can be interpreted as reduced cognitive reserve. This study aims to build up cognitive reserves to protect against the development of PNCD through preoperative, home-based, cognitive training. Methods The planned research project is a monocentric, two-arm randomized controlled intervention study involving 100 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation. Patients will be assigned to a training group or control group. The intervention involves a standardized, paper-and-pencil-based cognitive training that will be performed by the patients at home for ~40 min per day over a preoperative period of 2-3 weeks. The control group will receive neither cognitive training nor a placebo intervention. A detailed assessment of psychological functions will be performed ~2-3 weeks before the start of training, at the end of the training, during hospitalization, at discharge from the acute clinic, and 3 months after surgery. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the interventional effect of preoperative cognitive training on the incidence of POD during the stay in the acute clinic, the incidence of POCD at the time of discharge from the acute clinic, and 3 months after surgery. Secondary objectives are to determine the training effect on objective cognitive functions before the surgery and subjective cognitive functions, as well as health-related quality of life 3 months after surgery. Discussion Should it become evident that the use of our cognitive training can both reduce the incidence of POCD and POD and improve health-related quality of life, this intervention may be integrated into a standardized prehabilitation program.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim was to evaluate the effect of music on preventing delirium after coronary artery bypass grafting, to analyze vital signs and blood gas parameters, and to determine risk factors affecting delirium. DESIGN A randomized clinical trial. SETTING A single-center, tertiary hospital. PARTICIPANTS In total, 200 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting surgery from April 2020 to April 2021. INTERVENTIONS A one-hour session of new-age music was administered twice a day postoperatively for 7 days using a headphone. Delirium was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit before and after each session. Vital signs and blood gas parameters were compared to evaluate the effect of music. All assessments were conducted blindly by a different researcher. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Twelve participants who were delirium-positive were in the control group, and there were 3 in the case group, which suggested a statistically significant effect of music in preventing delirium (p = 0.016). The mean age of patients was 64.7 ± 7.9 years old in the control group and 62.2 ± 7.5 years old in the case group. There was a significant difference among the control and case groups in terms of the surgery time; surgery time in the control group was significantly lower than in the case group (242.4 ± 42.3 v 261.6 ± 48.9, respectively; p = 0.03 < 0.05). Blood pressure and heart rate in the case group were lower, similar to the respiratory rate and venous blood gas parameters; Blood pressure differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05); CONCLUSION: Relaxation music, including bird, water, and wind, significantly prevents delirium after coronary artery bypass grafting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Purpose of the present study is an evaluation of postoperative incidence for delirium after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Study addressed whether application of Histidine-Tryptophan-Ketoglutarate (HTK) solution (Bretschneider) or blood cardioplegia (Calafiore) is associated with increased of postoperative delirium cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a retrospective, single center evaluation a total number of 273 patients were enrolled in the study from January 2017 to October 2021. There were 124 patients assigned to the Calafiore group blood cardioplegic solution (BCC) and 149 patients were included in the Bretschneider group (HTK). The primary endpoint was the postoperative delirium rate in its frequency of occurrence. Definition of the dilirium status was performed using the Confusion Assessment Method in the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) score during the first three postoperative days. Secondary endpoints were the time intervals of intensive care duration of stay, mechanical ventilation, total extracorporeal circulation, ischemia and reperfusion. Serum levels of the electrolytes Sodium, Potassium, ionized Calcium, and Chloride were monitored. RESULTS Although no significant difference in delirium status between the groups were noticed, on third postoperative day, delirium rate dependent on cardioplegia solution used (HTK 12.0%; BCC 3.0%; p = .024) and duration of intensive care stay differed (HTK 4.5 vs. BCC 3.0 days; p = .001). Although Ischemic time (HTK 73.0 vs. BCC 83.0 min; p < .001) and reperfusion time (HTK 35.0 vs. Calafiore 24.0 min; p < .001) were extended in the BCC group less cases of delirium were diagnosed. Serum sodium levels after HTK cardioplegic infusion were decreased (HTK 129.68 vs. BCC 138.96 mmol/l; p < .001). The significant difference persists up to the hundredth extracorporeal circulation circuit min (p = .005). CONCLUSION The present data suggest an impact of the cardioplegic solution used upon postoperative delirium rates. Optimization of cardiac arrest protocols is needed. Present data encourage further prospective studies regarding the impact of cardioplegic solutions on electrolyte imbalance for postoperative delirium rates in CABG surgery.

Abstract
Background To investigate the associations between different dimensions of physical activity (PA), cognitive function, and daily physical function in Chinese individuals with heart disease. Materials and methods This study included 2,792 individuals from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study conducted in 2015. Physical activity (PA) was divided into vigorous PA (VPA), moderate PA (MPA), and light PA (LPA). Linear and logistic regression models were established to assess the associations among the indicators. Results Compared with taking no PA, MPA, and VPA at a frequency of 6-7 d/w had lower risks of impaired daily physical function (OR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.25, 0.91; OR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.37, 0.88) and higher cognitive function scores (β = 1.22, 95% CI: 0.42, 2.03; β = 1.08, 95% CI: 0.43, 1.73), while VPA at 3-5 d/w had lower cognitive function scores (β = -1.96, 95% CI: -3.51, -0.40). Light PA (LPA) with a duration of 30-119 min/d had a lower risk of impaired daily physical function (OR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.36, 0.97). Moderate PA (MPA) and VPA of 30-119 min/d had higher cognitive function scores (β = 1.43, 95% CI: 0.49, 2.37; β = 1.30, 95% CI: -0.56, 2.06). The 1,800-2,999 METs had the lowest risks of impaired daily physical function and the highest cognitive function scores (OR = 0.18, 95% CI: 0.04, 0.75; β = 2.94, 95% CI: 1.67, 4.21). Conclusion Moderate PA (MPA) and LPA with a frequency of 6-7 d/w and a duration of 30-119 min/d, and PA in 1,800-2,999 MET min/week were most closely related to better cognitive and daily physical function, while VPA (3-5 d/w; ≥300 min/w) may be related to low cognition, but high-quality research is necessary to prove causality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association of pre-operative and early postoperative inflammatory parameters with postoperative delirium in patients operated on for coronary artery bypass grafting. METHODS The data of 1 279 cardiac surgery patients operated on between June 2014 and March 2020 were analysed retrospectively. Among these, 777 (61.2%) patients operated on for isolated coronary artery bypass grafting surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass were enrolled. Two groups were formed. The patients who developed postoperative delirium were placed in group 1 (n = 187) and the patients with uneventful postoperative follow up (n = 590) were enrolled in group 2. RESULTS Pre- and early postoperative mean platelet volume, C-reactive protein level, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, platelet- to-lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio were elevated in group 1 (p = 0.0001). The APACHE II score and duration of hospital and intensive care unit stay were significantly elevated in group 1 (p < 0.05). An early-stage neurological event was observed in eight patients (4.3%) in group 1 and 12 patients (2%) in group 2, which was not statistically significantly different between the groups (p = 0.09). In-hospital mortality was observed in three patients (1.6%) in group 1 and five patients (0.8%) in group 2, which did not show a statistically significant difference (p > 0.05). In univariate and multivariate regression analysis, the pre-operative platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (p = 0.013), mean platelet volume (p = 0.0001) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (p = 0.002) were determined as independent risk factors for the occurrence of delirium in the early postoperative period. Also, the postoperative platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (p = 0.0001), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (p = 0.0001) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (p = 0.0001) were determined as independent risk factors for the occurrence of delirium in the early postoperative period. CONCLUSIONS Pre- and early postoperative inflammatory parameters were observed to be predictors of postoperative delirium in patients operated on for coronary artery bypass grafting.

Abstract
Background The neuroprotective effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in patients undergoing elective cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-assisted coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or valvular cardiac surgery remains unclear. Methods A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled superior clinical trial was conducted in patients undergoing elective on-pump coronary artery bypass surgery or valve surgery. Before anesthesia induction, patients were randomly assigned to RIPC (three 5-min cycles of inflation and deflation of blood pressure cuff on the upper limb) or the control group. The primary endpoint was the changes in S-100 calcium-binding protein β (S100-β) levels at 6 h postoperatively. Secondary endpoints included changes in Neuron-specific enolase (NSE), Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE), and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) levels. Results A total of 120 patients [mean age, 48.7 years; 36 women (34.3%)] were randomized at three cardiac surgery centers in China. One hundred and five patients were included in the modified intent-to-treat analysis (52 in the RIPC group and 53 in the control group). The primary result demonstrated that at 6 h after surgery, S100-β levels were lower in the RIPC group than in the control group (50.75; 95% confidence interval, 67.08 to 64.40 pg/ml vs. 70.48; 95% CI, 56.84 to 84.10 pg/ml, P = 0.036). Compared to the control group, the concentrations of S100-β at 24 h and 72 h and the concentration of NSE at 6 h, 24 h, and 72 h postoperatively were significantly lower in the RIPC group. However, neither the MMSE nor the MoCA revealed significant between-group differences in postoperative cognitive performance at 7 days, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery. Conclusion In patients undergoing CPB-assisted cardiac surgery, RIPC attenuated brain damage as indicated with the decreased release of brain damage biomarker S100-β and NSE.

Abstract
Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of dual-task computerized cognitive training (CCT) in the prevention of postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients after on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Material and methods. This cohort prospective study included 68 patients (median age, 64 years [54; 69]) admitted for elective on-pump CABG. In addition to the standard preoperative examination, all patients underwent advanced neuropsychological and neurophysiological examination. Starting from 3-4 days of the postoperative period, all patients underwent dual-task CCT.Results. After 8-10 days, early postoperative cognitive dysfunction was observed in 37 (54,4%) patients from CCT group, while in patients without training in 69,3% of cases (n=79). The best results of cognitive functioning were achieved in neurodynamics and short-term memory. In addition, in patients who completed the training course, a postoperative increase in the frontooccipital gradient of theta rhythm was observed.Conclusion. Neuropsychological and neurophysiological assessment have demonstrated the limited effectiveness of a short-term dual task CCT using in the prevention of early postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients after on-pump CABG. The dual task method can be an additional preventive intervention in the development of a personalized approach to cognitive rehabilitation therapy in cardiac surgery patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Postoperative delirium is common in older cardiac surgery patients and associated with negative short-term and long-term outcomes. The alpha-2-adrenergic receptor agonist dexmedetomidine shows promise as prophylaxis and treatment for delirium in intensive care units (ICU) and postoperative settings. Clonidine has similar pharmacological properties and can be administered both parenterally and orally. We aim to study whether repurposing of clonidine can represent a novel treatment option for delirium, and the possible effects of dexmedetomidine and clonidine on long-term cognitive trajectories, motor activity patterns and biomarkers of neuronal injury, and whether these effects are associated with frailty status. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This five-centre, double-blind randomised controlled trial will include 900 cardiac surgery patients aged 70+ years. Participants will be randomised 1:1:1 to dexmedetomidine or clonidine or placebo. The study drug will be given as a continuous intravenous infusion from the start of cardiopulmonary bypass, at a rate of 0.4 µg/kg/hour. The infusion rate will be decreased to 0.2 µg/kg/hour postoperatively and be continued until discharge from the ICU or 24 hours postoperatively, whichever happens first.Primary end point is the 7-day cumulative incidence of postoperative delirium (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition). Secondary end points include the composite end point of coma, delirium or death, in addition to delirium severity and motor activity patterns, levels of circulating biomarkers of neuronal injury, cognitive function and frailty status 1 and 6 months after surgery. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This trial is approved by the Regional Committee for Ethics in Medical Research in Norway (South-East Norway) and by the Norwegian Medicines Agency. Dissemination plans include publication in peer-reviewed medical journals and presentation at scientific meetings. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05029050.

Abstract
In 2021, progress in clinical science related to Cardiac Anesthesiology continued, but at a slower rate due to the ongoing pandemic and disruptions to clinical research. Most progress was incremental and addressed persistent questions related to our field. To identify articles for this review, we completed a structured review using our previously reported methods (1). Specifically, we used the search terms: "cardiac anesthesiology and outcomes" (n = 177), "cardiothoracic anesthesiology" (n = 34), "cardiac anesthesia," and "clinical outcomes" (n = 42) filtered on clinical trials and the year 2021 in PubMed. We also reviewed clinical trials from the most prominent clinical journals to identify additional studies for a narrative review. We then selected the most noteworthy publications for inclusion in this review and identified key themes.

Effects of postoperative cognitive training on neurocognitive decline after heart surgery: A randomized clinical trial. Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 2022; 62:6567628. [PMID: 35415742 DOI: 10.1093/ejcts/ezac251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2021] [Revised: 03/25/2022] [Accepted: 04/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Following cardiac surgery, postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) is a common complication that can impair quality of life and increase mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate whether early postoperative cognitive training can decrease POCD after cardiac surgery. METHODS The study was a multi-centered, 2-arm, randomized (1:1 ratio), controlled trial involving older patients undergoing elective heart valve surgery with extracorporeal circulation. Recruitment took place at the Departments of Cardiac Surgery of the Kerckhoff-Clinic in Bad Nauheim (Germany) and the University-Hospital in Giessen (Germany). The patients were randomized to either a paper-and-pencil-based cognitive training group or a standard rehabilitation care control group. The cognitive training started 1 week after surgery and lasted about 3 weeks until discharge from rehabilitation. To detect POCD, neuropsychological functions were assessed prior to surgery, upon discharge from rehabilitation (primary outcome), and 3 months after discharge (secondary outcome). Data were primarily analyzed in a per-protocol fashion. RESULTS The frequency of POCD at discharge from rehabilitation (training group, n = 37; control group, n = 44) was 50% in the control group and 19% in the training group (χ2[1]=8.45, p = 0.004; OR = 4.29, 95% CI [1.56-11.80]). Three months after the cognitive training (training group, n = 33; control group, n = 34), POCD frequency was 29% in the control group and 6% in the training group (χ2[1]=6.21, p = 0.013; OR = 6.46, 95% CI [1.29-32.28]). CONCLUSIONS Since our cognitive training showed beneficial effects, it could be a promising method to prevent POCD.

Abstract
Background Stenosing atherosclerosis in both coronary and carotid arteries can adversely affect cognition. Also their surgical treatments, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and carotid endarterectomy (CEA), are associated with cognitive changes, but the mechanisms of cognitive decline or improvement may not be the same. This study was designed to compare the cognitive profile and outcome in patients undergoing surgical treatment for coronary or carotid disease. Methods A total of 100 CABG patients and 44 CEA patients were recruited in two previously reported studies. They were subjected to a comprehensive neuropsychological examination prior to surgery and in the acute (3-8 days) and stable (3 months) phase after operation. A group of 17 matched healthy controls were assessed with similar intervals. We used linear mixed models to compare cognitive trajectories within six functional domains between the CABG, CEA and control groups. Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and improvement (POCI) were determined with the reliable change index method in comparison with healthy controls. Results Before surgery, the CEA patients performed worse than CABG patients or healthy controls in the domains of executive functioning and processing speed. The CABG patients exhibited postoperative cognitive dysfunction more often than the CEA patients in most cognitive domains in the acute phase but had regained their performance in the stable phase. The CEA patients showed more marked postoperative improvement in executive functioning than the CABG group in the acute phase, but the difference did not reach significance in the stable phase. Conclusion Our findings suggest that anterior cerebral dysfunction in CEA patients impairs preoperative cognition more severely than global brain dysfunction in CABG patients. However, CEA may have more beneficial effects on cognition than CABG, specifically in executive functions mainly operated by the prefrontal lobes. In addition, the results underline that POCD is a heterogeneous condition and dependent on type of revascularization surgery.

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction in older surgical patients associated with increased healthcare utilization: a prospective study from an upper-middle-income country. BMC Geriatr 2022; 22:213.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative neurocognitive disorder includes postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and postoperative delirium (POD). Concerning inconclusive consequences of POCD compared with POD, we explored the association between either POCD or POD and functional decline as well as healthcare utilization. METHODS Patients aged at least 60 years who underwent a major operation were enrolled. POCD was defined as a decrease in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score (≥ 2) 1 week after surgery. Postoperative delirium (POD) was defined according to the criteria of the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The primary outcome was instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) 3 months after discharge. Secondary outcomes were the length of stay (LOS), hospital cost, and factors that affected functional decline 3 months after surgery. The multivariate model, including potential confounding factors, namely age, gender, surgery type, and postoperative complications, was used to analyze possible factors that influenced a reduction in function, and the results were expressed by using adjusted relative risk (RR) and 95%CI. RESULTS Two hundred eighty-nine patients with a mean age of 72 years were enrolled. The incidence of POCD at 1 week was 28.5%. At their 3-month follow-ups, the patients with POCD were not associated with IADL decline. Nevertheless, patients with POCD were more likely to need a prolonged LOS (11 days [1, 46] vs. 8 days [2, 42]; P = 0.01), and incur higher hospital costs (8973.43 USD [3481.69, 11 763.74] vs. 5913.62 USD [332.43, 19 567.33]; P < 0.001). Additionally, the patients experiencing POD demonstrated increased risks of reducing their IADLs (adjusted RR 2.33; 95% CI, 1.15-4.71; P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS POCD at 1 week leaded to increase healthcare utilization in a middle-income country. POD during hospitalization was associated with a decline in function after surgery and increased health care utilization. TRIAL REGISTRATION Thai Clinical Trials Registry TCTR20190115001 .

The Effect of Intraoperative Cerebral Oximetry Monitoring on Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction and ICU Stay in Adult Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 8:814313. [PMID: 35178431 PMCID: PMC8846308 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.814313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2021] [Accepted: 12/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim Determining whether intraoperative cerebral oximetry monitoring-guided intervention reduces the risk of postoperative cognitive dysfunction remains controversial. The objective of this study was to conduct an up-to-date meta-analysis to comprehensively assess the effects of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) monitoring-guided intervention on cognitive outcomes after cardiac surgery. Methods PubMed, EMBASE, Ovid, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched using the related keywords for cardiac surgical randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) published from their inception to July 31, 2021. The primary outcome was postoperative delirium (POD). The secondary outcomes were postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) and other major postoperative outcomes. The odds ratio (OR) or weighted mean differences (WMDs) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to pool the data. The random-effect model was used for the potential clinical inconsistency. We performed meta-regression and subgroup analyses to assess the possible influence of rSO2 monitoring-guided intervention on clinical outcomes. Results In total, 12 RCTs with 1,868 cardiac surgical patients were included. Compared with controls, the incidences of POD (n = 6 trials; OR, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.09–0.84; p = 0.02; I2 = 81%) and POCD (n = 5 trials; OR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.16–0.93; p = 0.03; I2 = 78%) were significantly lower in the intervention group. Cerebral oximetry desaturation also showed a positive association with the incidence of POD (n = 5 trials; OR, 2.02; 95% CI, 1.25–3.24; p = 0.004; I2 = 81%). The duration of intensive care unit (ICU) stay was markedly shorter in the intervention group than in the control group (n = 10 trials; WMD, −0.22 days; 95% CI, −0.44 to −0.00; p = 0.05; I2 = 74%). Univariate meta-regression analyses showed that the major sources of heterogeneity were age (p = 0.03), body mass index (BMI, p = 0.05), and the proportion of congenital heart disease (CHD, p = 0.02) for POD, age (p = 0.04) for POCD, diabetes mellitus (DM, p = 0.07), cerebrovascular accident (CVA, p = 0.02), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, p = 0.09) for ICU stay. Subsequent subgroup analyses also confirmed these results. Conclusion Available evidence from the present study suggests that an intraoperative cerebral oximetry desaturation is associated with an increased POD risk, and the rSO2 monitoring-guided intervention is correlated with a lower risk of POD and POCD, and a shorter ICU stay in adults undergoing cardiac surgery. These clinical benefits may be limited in patients with older age, diabetes status, high BMI, non-CHD, non-COPD, or a previous cardiovascular accident.

Abstract
Both cognitive impairment and cardiovascular diseases have a high incidence in the elderly population, increasing the burden of care and reducing the quality of life. Studies have suggested that cognitive impairment interacts with cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, abnormal blood pressure, heart failure, and arrhythmia. On one hand, cognitive impairment in the elderly influences the progression and self-management of cardiovascular diseases and increases the risk of cardiovascular-related adverse events. On the other hand, coronary heart disease, heart failure, higher blood pressure variability, orthostatic hypotension, and atrial fibrillation may aggravate cognitive impairment. The role of blood pressure levels on cognition remains controversial. Several shared biological pathways have been proposed as the underlying mechanism for the association. Cardiovascular diseases may lead to cognitive decline even dementia through cerebral perfusion damage, brain structural changes, inflammation, β-amyloid deposition, and neuroendocrine disorders. It is of great significance to study the interaction and put forward effective interventions in an overall perspective to reduce care burden and improve the quality of life of the elderly patients.

Abstract
Purpose of Review Perioperative neurocognitive disorders are common after surgery and have serious socioeconomic impacts. Despite this, these disorders remain under-recognized and underdiagnosed. To facilitate detection and direct patients toward appropriate preventative interventions, assessment of cognition during the perioperative period is of critical importance. However, there are considerable barriers to the widespread clinical implementation of cognitive assessments, including a lack of consensus regarding the optimal tool for use in specific clinical scenarios. Recent Findings We provide an overview of the most widely used and validated cognitive assessment tools, including those that permit telemedicine-enabled patient encounters. Summary No single tool is optimal for all contexts. This narrative review can help clinicians to identify the appropriate cognitive screening tool for their needs by describing the advantages and disadvantages of several available tools, thereby enabling the identification of patients at risk of cognitive decline and facilitating optimization of patient-focused perioperative care.
