[PMID: 37971219 DOI: 10.1111/jgs.18682] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2023] [Revised: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was determined whether cognitive impairment is associated with time taken to complete the electronic rapid fitness assessment (eRFA). We hypothesized that taking more time to complete the eRFA will indicate worsened cognitive function. METHODS We retrospectively identified patients who presented to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Geriatrics Service for preoperative evaluation and completed the eRFA as a part of their preoperative assessment from February 2015 to December 2020. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Cog©, which is a screening test for cognitive function status. Patients in this study underwent elective surgery and had a hospital length of stay ≥1 day. Time to complete the eRFA was automatically recorded by a web-based tool; assistance with eRFA completion was self-reported by the patient. In total, 2599 patients were included, of which 2387 had available Mini-Cog© scores. RESULTS Overall, 50% of surveys were completed without assistance, 37% were completed with assistance, and 13% were completed by somebody else; Mini-Cog© scores were lower, corresponding to worsened cognitive function status, in patients requiring assistance (median score respectively, 5 vs. 4 vs. 3; p-value <0.0001; rates of cognitive impairment 7.5%, 22%, and 38%). Among patients who completed the questionnaire independently, greater cognitive impairment was associated with longer time to complete the eRFA (change in score per 5 min = -0.09; 95% CI -0.14, -0.03; p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS We found evidence that requirement for assistance in completing web-based questionnaires, and time taken to complete a questionnaire, predict which patients benefit from more comprehensive cognitive function assessments. Future studies should further validate this finding in a more diverse population and establish optimal clinical pathways.

Abstract
Background Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (ATSA) and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) reliably alleviate pain and restore shoulder function for a variety of indications. However, these procedures are not well-studied in patients with neurocognitive impairment. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether patients with dementia or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have increased odds of surgical or medical complications following arthroplasty. Methods The PearlDiver database was queried from 2010 through October 2021 to identify a cohort of patients who underwent either ATSA or RTSA and had a minimum 2-year follow-up. Current Procedural Terminology and International Classification of Diseases codes were used to stratify this cohort into three groups: (1) patients with dementia, (2) patients with MCI, and (3) patients with neither condition. Surgical and medical complication rates were compared among these three groups. Results The overall prevalence of neurocognitive impairment among patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty was 3.0% in a cohort of 92,022 patients. Patients with dementia had increased odds of sustaining a periprosthetic humerus fracture (odds ratio [OR] = 1.46, P < .001), developing prosthesis instability (OR = 1.72, P < .001), and undergoing revision arthroplasty (OR = 1.55, P = .003) after RTSA compared to patients with normal cognition. ATSA patients with dementia did not have an elevated risk of surgical complications or revision. Conversely, RTSA patients with MCI did not have an elevated risk of complications or revision, although ATSA patients with MCI had greater odds of prosthesis instability (OR = 2.51, P = .008). Additionally, patients with neurocognitive impairment had elevated odds of medical complications compared to patients with normal cognition, including acute myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular accident. Conclusion Compared to patients with normal cognition, RTSA patients with preoperative dementia and ATSA patients with preoperative MCI are at increased risk for surgical complications. Moreover, both ATSA and RTSA patients with either preoperative MCI or dementia are at increased risk for medical complications. As the mean age in the U.S. continues to rise, special attention should be directed towards patients with neurocognitive impairment to minimize postoperative complications aftertotal shoulder arthroplasty, and the risks of this surgery more carefully discussed with patients and their families and caretakers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoral fractures require protracted hospitalization and often preclude return to pre-fracture levels of mobility, function and prior residential status following hospital discharge. Early prediction of rehabilitation and discharge potential in patients with femoral fracture would optimize discharge planning. AIM To identify predictive factors of discharge destination during the early phase of femoral fracture rehabilitation. DESIGN Prospective cohort design. SETTING Acute and postoperative rehabilitation hospital settings. POPULATION Data from 109 participants (65 women [59.6%]) admitted for unilateral femoral fracture were included. METHODS Sociodemographic information, hip pain severity during gait (Numeric Pain Rating Scale), mobility (Elderly Mobility Scale), activities of daily living (Modified Barthel Index), cognition (Mini-Mental State Examination [MMSE]), exercise self-efficacy (Self-Efficacy for Exercise Scale), amount of physiotherapy received, and caregiver availability were assessed pre- and/or postoperatively. Discharge destination was assessed via telephone interviews 6 weeks after discharge from acute care. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to determine optimal cut-off scores for all outcomes based on discharge destination. Outcomes demonstrating a significant area under the curve were entered as dichotomous independent variables (i.e., above or below ROC-derived cut-off values) in subsequent logistic regression analyses to determine predictors of discharge destination. RESULTS SEE Score ≥53 (odds ratio [OR]=5.975, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.674-21.333, P=0.006), female sex (OR=3.421, 95% CI=1.187-9.861, P=0.023), ≥8 physiotherapy sessions (OR=4.633, 95% CI=1.559-13.771, P=0.006), MMSE Score ≥17 (OR=3.374, 95% CI=1.047-10.873, P=0.042), and caregiver availability (OR=3.766, 95% CI=1.133-12.520, P=0.030) were identified as significant predictors of home discharge. CONCLUSIONS Exercise self-efficacy, female sex, more physiotherapy rehabilitation training, better pre-operative cognitive function, and caregiver availability emerged as important predictors of home discharge following femoral fracture. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT These findings are highly translational and may be useful for informing clinical guidelines and policy decisions regarding rehabilitation potential and discharge pathway selection during early hospitalization following femoral fracture surgery.

J Geriatr Oncol 2023; 14:101479. [PMID: 37001348 PMCID: PMC10530636 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgo.2023.101479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2022] [Revised: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2023] [Indexed: 03/31/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Limited data are available to explore the association between preoperative frailty and cognitive impairment with postoperative delirium among older adults with cancer. We explored this association in a single Comprehensive Cancer Center where postoperative delirium and frailty are assessed in routine care using the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) and Memorial Sloan Kettering Frailty Index (MSK-FI), respectively. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective study on patients with cancer, aged 65+, who underwent surgery from April 2018 to March 2019 with hospital stay ≥1 day. We used logistic regression with postoperative delirium as the outcome, primary predictor MSK-FI, adjusted for age, operative time, and preoperative albumin. As the MSK-FI includes a component related to cognitive impairment, we additionally evaluated the impact of this component, separately from the rest of the score, on the association between frailty and postoperative delirium. RESULTS Among 1,257 patients with available MSK-FI and CAM measures, 47 patients (3.7%) had postoperative delirium. Increased frailty was associated with increased risk of postoperative delirium (odds ratio [OR] 1.51; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.26, 1.81; p < 0.001). However, this was largely related to the effect of cognitive impairment (OR 15.29; 95% CI 7.18; 32.56; p < 0.001). In patients with cognitive impairment, the association between frailty and postoperative delirium was not significant (OR 0.97; 95% CI 0.65, 1.44; p-value = 0.9), as having cognitive impairment put patients at high risk for postoperative delirium even without taking into account the other components of the MSK-FI. While the association between frailty and postoperative delirium in patients with intact cognitive function was statistically significant (OR 1.58; 95% CI 1.27, 1.96; p < 0.001), it was not clinically meaningful, particularly considering the low risk of delirium among patients with intact cognitive function (e.g., 1.3% vs 3.2% for MSK-FI 1 vs 3). DISCUSSION Cognitive function should be a greater focus than frailty, as measured by the MSK-FI, in preoperative assessment for the prediction of postoperative delirium.

Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound Attenuates Postoperative Neurocognitive Impairment and Salvages Hippocampal Synaptogenesis in Aged Mice. Brain Sci 2023; 13:brainsci13040657.

Abstract
Postoperative neurocognitive impairment is an urgent problem with global aging accelerating. The prevention and treatment of postoperative neurocognitive impairment have been widely investigated but lack effective strategies. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), a non-invasive tool, has shown an effect on neuroprotection, but whether it could attenuate the postoperative neurocognitive impairment and the underlying mechanisms remains unknown. An experimental setup for LIPUS stimulation of the hippocampus was well established. A laparotomy model in aged mice was applied, and a Morris water maze was used to assess cognitive function. RT-qPCR and western blotting were used to detect levels of Piezo1, synapse-associated proteins in the hippocampus, respectively. Immunofluorescent staining was also used to determine the neural activation and Piezo1 expression. The results showed that LIPUS increased synapse-related proteins of the hippocampus and attenuated cognitive impairment in aged mice. Meanwhile, LIPUS suppressed the overexpression of Piezo1 in the hippocampus. We further found that LIPUS promoted Calpain1 activity and increased extracellular regulated protein kinases (Erk) phosphorylation. Our results suggested that LIPUS could improve cognitive impairment and increase hippocampal synaptogenesis through the Piezo1-mediated Calpain1/ Erk pathway. LIPUS could be used as an effective physical intervention to alleviate postoperative cognitive dysfunction in the aged population.

Abstract
This study examined discharge planning and challenges for patients following total hip arthroplasty in Japan. A cross-sectional national survey of 500 hospitals was conducted in May 2019. Discharge planning education tended to include content on dislocation prevention, including prevention while using a squat toilet and crouching down to sit on the floor or sleep on a futon on the floor-activities common in many Asian communities that require a maximum flexion of the hip joint. The challenges of discharge planning included diverse lifestyles, aging issues, lack of assistance at home, lack of consensus on dislocation prevention intervention, limitation of standardized care, interprofessional collaboration, and lack of time to educate family. Tailored discharge planning can be challenging, particularly for aged patients who practice "floor culture", i.e., sleeping, sitting and eating on the floor. Discharge planning needs to be task shifted from the surgeon to the nurse to enhance nurses' empowerment in Japan.

[PMID: 36683026 PMCID: PMC9867902 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-03511-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the current study was to investigate the incidence of postoperative medical complications and 3-month mortality in patients ≥ 70 years old with hip fracture following hip arthroplasty (HA) and independent risk factors associated with postoperative medical complications and 3-month mortality during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. METHODS A multicenter retrospective study was conducted, patients ≥ 70 years old with HA for hip fracture under general anesthesia were included during COVID-19 and before COVID-19 pandemic. The outcome was defined as postoperative medical complications and 3-month mortality. The baseline characteristics and risk factors were collected, multivariable logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors for postoperative medical complications and 3-month mortality. RESULTS A total of 1096 patients were included during COVID-19 pandemic and 1149 were included before COVID-19 pandemic in the study. Patients ≥ 70 years with hip fracture for HA had longer fracture to operation duration (7.10 ± 3.52 vs. 5.31 ± 1.29, P < 0.001), and the incidence of postoperative medical complications (21.90% vs. 12.53%, P < 0.001) and 3-month mortality (5.20% vs. 3.22%, P = 0.025) was higher during COVID-2019 pandemic. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that dementia (OR 2.73; 95% CI 1.37-5.44; P = 0.004), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (OR 3.00; 95% CI 1.92-4.71; P < 0.001), longer fracture to operation duration (OR 1.24; 95% CI 1.19-1.30; P < 0.001) were associated with increased risk for postoperative medical complications. COPD (OR 2.10; 95% CI 1.05-4.17; P = 0.035), dementia (OR 3.00; 95% CI 1.11-7.94; P = 0.031), postoperative medical complications (OR 4.99; 95% CI 2.68-9.28; P < 0.001), longer fracture to operation duration (OR 1.11; 95% CI 1.04-1.19; P = 0.002) were associated with increased risk for 3-month mortality. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, we found that postoperative medical morbidity and 3-month mortality in patients with hip fracture underwent HA were 21.90% and 5.20%, respectively, during the COVID-19. COPD, dementia and longer fracture to operation duration were associated with negative outcome in patients with hip fracture underwent HA during the COVID-19.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of cognitive impairment (CI) and dementia on adverse outcomes in older surgical patients. DESIGN A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Various databases were searched from their inception dates to March 8, 2021. SETTING Preoperative assessment. PATIENTS Older patients (≥ 60 years) undergoing non-cardiac surgery. MEASUREMENTS Outcomes included postoperative delirium, mortality, discharge to assisted care, 30-day readmissions, postoperative complications, and length of hospital stay. Effect sizes were calculated as Odds Ratio (OR) and Mean Difference (MD) based on random effect model analysis. The quality of included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk Bias Tool for RCTs and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for observational cohort studies. RESULTS Fifty-three studies (196,491 patients) were included. Preoperative CI was associated with a significant risk of delirium in older patients after non-cardiac surgery (25.1% vs. 10.3%; OR: 3.84; 95%CI: 2.35, 6.26; I2: 76%; p < 0.00001). Cognitive impairment (26.2% vs. 13.2%; OR: 2.28; 95%CI: 1.39, 3.74; I2: 73%; p = 0.001) and dementia (41.6% vs. 25.5%; OR: 1.96; 95%CI: 1.34, 2.88; I2: 99%; p = 0.0006) significantly increased risk for 1-year mortality. In patients with CI, there was an increased risk of discharge to assisted care (44.7% vs. 38.3%; OR 1.74; 95%CI: 1.05, 2.89, p = 0.03), 30-day readmissions (14.3% vs. 10.8%; OR: 1.36; 95%CI: 1.00, 1.84, p = 0.05), and postoperative complications (40.7% vs. 18.8%; OR: 1.85; 95%CI: 1.37, 2.49; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative CI in older surgical patients significantly increases risk of delirium, 1-year mortality, discharge to assisted care, 30-day readmission, and postoperative complications. Dementia increases the risk of 1-year mortality. Cognitive screening in the preoperative assessment for older surgical patients may be helpful for risk stratification so that appropriate management can be implemented to mitigate adverse postoperative outcomes.

The association of dementia on perioperative complications following primary total hip arthroplasty for femoral neck fractures. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND TRAUMATOLOGY 2022; 33:971-976. [PMID: 35230544 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-022-03236-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2021] [Accepted: 02/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Studies evaluating the association of dementia in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) for femoral neck fractures are limited. The aim was to investigate whether patients who have dementia undergoing THA for femoral neck fractures have higher rates of (1) in-hospital lengths of stay (LOS); 2) complications (medical and prostheses-related); and 3) healthcare expenditures. METHODS A retrospective query using the PearlDiver database from January 1st, 2005 to March 31st, 2014 to identify patients with dementia undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of femoral neck fractures was performed. Dementia patients were 1:5 ratio matched to controls which yielded 22,758 patients in the study with (n = 3,798) and without (n = 18,960) dementia. Primary outcomes included comparing LOS, complications, and costs. A logistic regression was constructed to calculate the odds-ratios (OR) of dementia on complications. A p-value less than 0.004 was significant. RESULTS Dementia patients had longer LOS (7-days vs. 6-days, p < 0.0001) and higher incidence and odds of medical complications (41.52 vs. 17.77%; OR 3.76, p < 0.0001), including cerebrovascular events (5.66 vs. 1.64%; OR 2.35, p < 0.0001), pneumoniae (9.98 vs. 3.82%; OR 1.82, p < 0.0001), and acute kidney injury (8.37 vs. 3.27%; OR 1.62, p < 0.0001). Study group patients had higher frequency of prostheses-related complications (9.53 vs. 8.31%; OR: 1.16, p = 0.012). The study group had greater total healthcare expenditures ($28,879.57 vs. $26,234.10, p < 0.0001) when analyzing ninety-day episode of care charges. CONCLUSION Patients with dementia undergoing THA due to femoral neck fracture have increased LOS, medical and prostheses-related complications, and cost of care compared to their counterparts.

Postoperative Delirium and Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction in Patients with Elective Hip or Knee Arthroplasty: A Narrative Review of the Literature. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12020314. [PMID: 35207601 PMCID: PMC8878498 DOI: 10.3390/life12020314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2022] [Accepted: 02/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) are common complications following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA), affecting the length of hospital stay and increasing medical complications. Although many papers have been published on both conditions in this setting, no reviews have currently been written. Thus, the purpose of our study is to summarize the current literature and provide information about POD and POCD following elective THA or TKA. Our literature search was conducted in the electronic databases PubMed and the Cochrane library. We found that POD is a common complication following elective THA or TKA, with a median incidence of 14.8%. Major risk factors include older age, cognitive impairment, dementia, preoperative (pre-op) comorbidities, substance abuse, and surgery for fracture. Diagnosis can be achieved using tools such as the confusion assessment method (CAM), which is sensitive, specific, reliable, and easy to use, for the identification of POD. Treatment consists of risk stratification and the implementation of a multiple component prevention protocol. POCD has a median incidence of 19.3% at 1 week, and 10% at 3 months. Risk factors include older age, high BMI, and cognitive impairment. Treatment consists of reversing risk factors and implementing protocols in order to preserve physiological stability. POD and POCD are common and preventable complications following TKA and THA. Risk stratification and specific interventions can lower the incidence of both syndromes. Every physician involved in the care of such patients should be informed on every aspect of these conditions in order to provide the best care for their patients.

Risk Factors and a Nomogram Model Establishment for Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients Undergoing Arthroplasty Surgery: A Single-Center Retrospective Study. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:6607386. [PMID: 34901277 PMCID: PMC8660191 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6607386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2021] [Revised: 10/30/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Objective To explore the related risk factors of postoperative delirium (POD) after hip or knee arthroplasty in elderly orthopedic patients and the predictive value of related risk factors. Material and Methods. In total, 309 patients (≥60 years) who received knee and hip arthroplasty between January 2017 and May 2020 were consecutively selected into the POD and nonpostoperative delirium (NPOD) groups. Group bias was eliminated through propensity score matching. Univariate and multivariable logistic analysis was used to determine the risk factors for POD. The nomogram was made by R. Results 58 patients were included in each group after propensity score matching; multivariable analysis demonstrated that LDH (OR = 4.364, P = 0.017), CHE (OR = 4.640, P = 0.004), Cystatin C (OR = 5.283, P = 0.006), arrhythmia (OR = 5.253, P = 0.002), and operation duration (OR = 1.017, P = 0.050) were independent risk factors of POD. LDH, CHE, Cystatin C, and arrhythmia were used to construct a nomogram to predict the POD. The nomogram was well calibrated and had moderate discriminative ability (AUC = 0.821, 95% CI: 0.760~0.883). Decision curve analysis demonstrated that the nomogram was clinically useful. Conclusions Our study revealed that arrhythmia, operation duration, the increase of lactate dehydrogenase and Cystatin C, and the decrease of cholinesterase were reliable factors for predicting postoperative delirium after elderly hip and knee arthroplasty. Meanwhile, the nomogram we developed can assist the clinician to filtrate potential patients with postoperative delirium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative delirium (POD) is associated with increased mortality, increased length of hospital stays and increased rates and severity of subsequent cognitive decline including dementia. A wide range of risk factors for POD have been suggested in the literature across multiple surgical specialities. However few are validated and no accurate prognostic models exist. We therefore aimed to map the existing evidence regarding risk factors for POD to help guide future research by undertaking an umbrella review of systematic reviews examining risk factors for POD in any context. MATERIALS AND METHODS We systematically searched multiple medical databases for systematic reviews examining the risk factors for POD in adults undergoing any surgery. We then selected relevant reviews with minimal overlap in primary studies and extracted information about individual risk factors. RESULTS Thirty-five relevant reviews were identified of which ten were in trauma and orthopaedic surgery patients (four exclusively examined hip fractures), five were in cardiac surgery patients, and four were in vascular surgery patients. Due to substantial overlap in reviews, eighteen reviews were analysed in detail finding the widely examined and consistent risk factors were increasing age, nursing home residency, pre-existing cognitive impairment, psychiatric disorders, cerebrovascular disease, end stage renal failure, low albumin, higher ASA score, and intra-operative blood transfusion. Many other risk factors were examined, but they were either not studied in multiple systematic reviews, or inconsistent either in results or in categorisation (which for many factors was heterogenous even within systematic reviews). There are also a large number of existing prognostic models, many of which remain unvalidated. CONCLUSION Given the wealth of existing literature, future research should avoid simple risk factor evaluation except for novel candidates, validate existing prognostic models where possible, and instead focus on interventional research.

Abstract
As octogenarians in the operation room are no longer an exemption but the norm, perioperative management needs to be adopted to meet the special requirements of this group of patients. Anaesthesia does not need to be re-invented to fit the elderly. However, as elderly patients are among those most affected by adverse postoperative outcomes, the same diligence that is as a matter of course exercised in anaesthesiologic care of the youngest patients needs to be exercised for the eldest as well. Aging is associated with characteristic physiologic changes and an overall reduction in compensation width. However, the individual relevance of these changes varies distinctly. A comprehensive preoperative assessment is therefore essential to identify those at high risk. Maintaining functionality and preventing cognitive decline are central elements of perioperative care for frail elders, often only requiring unspectacular, but effective adjustments to established routine care processes. This review focuses on current recommendations in the perioperative anaesthesiologic management of elderly patients with a view towards assisting clinical anaesthesiologists in implementing respective structures in their setting and adjusting care pathways to meet the needs of this vulnerable but growing group of patients and improve their postoperative outcome.

Abstract
Cognitive status has been reported to affect the peri-operative and post-operative outcomes of certain surgical procedures. This prospective study investigated the effect of preoperative cognitive impairment on the postoperative course of elderly patients (n = 122, >65 years), following spine surgery for degenerative spinal disease. Data on demographic characteristics, medical history, and blood analysis results were collected. Preoperative cognition was assessed using the mini-mental state examination, and patients were divided into three groups: normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment, and moderate-to-severe cognitive impairment. Discharge destinations (p = 0.014) and postoperative cardiopulmonary complications (p = 0.037) significantly differed based on the cognitive status. Operation time (p = 0.049), white blood cell count (p = 0.022), platelet count (p = 0.013), the mini-mental state examination score (p = 0.033), and the Beck Depression Inventory score (p = 0.041) were significantly associated with the length of hospital stay. Our investigation demonstrated that improved understanding of preoperative cognitive status may be helpful in surgical decision-making and postoperative care of elderly patients with degenerative spinal disease.

Abstract
Background: The study assessed whether pre-existing cognitive impairment (CI) prior to elective total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with worse postoperative outcomes such as delirium, in-hospital medical complications, 30-day mortality, hospital length of stay and non-home discharge. Methods: A retrospective database analysis from the NSQIP Geriatric Surgery Pilot Project was used. There was an initial cohort of 6350 patients undergoing elective TKA, 104 patients with CI were propensity score matched to 104 patients without CI. Results: Analysis demonstrated a significantly increased incidence of post-operative delirium (POD) in the cohort with pre-op CI (p = < .001), a worsened functional status (p = < .001) and increased nonhome discharge postoperatively compared to the group without CI (p = 0.029). Other post-operative outcomes included 30-day mortality of 0% in both groups, and low rate of complications such as infection (2.88% vs 0.96%), pneumonia (1.92% vs 0%), failure to wean (0.96% vs 0%), and reintubation (0.96% vs 0%). Some other differences between the CI group and non-CI group, although not statistically significant, included increased rate of transfusion (10.58% vs 6.73%), and sepsis (1.92% vs 0%). The length of stay was increased in the non-CI group (4.28% vs 2.32%, p = 0.122). Conclusion: CI in patients undergoing TKA is associated with an increased risk of POD, worsened postoperative functional status, and discharge to non-home facility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk factors of postoperative delirium (POD), a serious while preventable complication, developed by patients undergoing knee and replacement surgery are still under investigation. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we identified risk factors associated with POD in knee and hip replacement. METHODS PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Ovid EMBASE were used to identify original researches. The studies evaluating the risk factors of POD after knee and hip replacement were reviewed, and the qualities of the included studies were assessed with Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Data were extracted, pooled, and a meta-analysis was completed RESULT: Twenty-two studies were finally included with a total of 11934 patients who underwent knee or hip replacement and 1841 developed POD with an incidence of 17.6% (95% confidential interval (CI) 13.2-22.0%). Eighteen significant risk factors were identified including advanced age (odds ratio (OR) 1.15 95% CI 1.08-1.22), cognitive impairment (OR 6.84, 95% CI 3.27-14.33), history of cerebrovascular events (OR 2.51, 95% CI 1.28-4.91), knee replacement (OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.00-2.02), blood loss (standardized mean difference (SMD) 0.30, 95% CI 0.15-0.44), dementia (OR 3.09, 95% CI 2.10-4.56), neurologic disorders (OR 2.26, 95% CI 1.23-4.15), psychiatric illness (OR 2.74, 95% CI 1.34-5.62), and obstructive sleep apnea (OR 4.17, 95% CI 1.72-10.09) along with several comorbidity evaluation scores and laboratory markers. CONCLUSION We identified risk factors consistently associated with the incidence of POD in knee and hip replacement. Strategies and interventions should be implemented to the patients receiving knee or hip replacement with potential risk factors identified in this meta-analysis.

Abstract
For elderly patients undergoing elective surgical procedures, preoperative evaluation of cognition is often overlooked. Patients may experience postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative cognitive decline (POCD), especially those with certain risk factors, including advanced age. Preoperative cognitive impairment is a leading risk factor for both POD and POCD, and studies have noted that identifying these deficiencies is critical during the preoperative period so that appropriate preventive strategies can be implemented. Comprehensive geriatric assessment is a useful approach which evaluates a patient's medical, psycho-social, and functional domains objectively. Various screening tools are available for preoperatively identifying patients with cognitive impairment. The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols have been discussed in the context of prehabilitation as an effort to optimize a patient's physical status prior to surgery and decrease the risk of POD and POCD. Evidence-based protocols are warranted to standardize care in efforts to effectively meet the needs of these patients.

Abstract
Important elements of the preoperative assessment that should be addressed for the older adult population include frailty, comorbidities, nutritional status, cognition, and medications. Frailty has emerged as a plausible predictor of adverse outcomes after surgery. It is present in older patients and is characterized by multisystem physiologic decline, increased vulnerability to stressors, and adverse clinical outcomes. Preoperative preparation may include a prehabilitation program, which aims to address nutritional insufficiencies, modify chronic polypharmacy, and enhance physical and respiratory conditions prior to hospital admission. Special considerations are taken for particularly high-risk patients, where the approach to prehabilitation can address specific, individual risk factors. Identifying patients who are nutritionally deficient allows practitioners to intervene preoperatively to optimize their nutritional status, and different strategies are available, such as immunonutrition. Previous studies have shown an association between increased frailty and the risk of postoperative complications, morbidity, hospital length of stay, and 30-day and long-term mortality following general surgical procedures. Evidence from numerous studies suggests a potential benefit of including a standard assessment of frailty as part of the preoperative workup of older adult patients. Studies addressing validated frailty assessments and the quantification of their predictive capabilities in various surgeries are warranted.

Abstract
The German population is aging in accordance with the worldwide trend; however, in comparison to most other industrial countries the number of disease-free years of life gained by patients is significantly lower in Germany. Subsequently, the number of hospitalizations and necessary surgical treatment for older and especially frail patients is significantly increasing. Several frailty scoring systems have been published with the aim of improving the assessment of the perioperative risk for these patients; however, these systems for risk assessment have not yet become clinical routine in surgery and therefore this group of frail patients remains underdiagnosed in the field of surgery. Frail patients in particular often need individualized treatment or the adaptation of standard of perioperative care. It has already been clearly shown that frail patients have a markedly higher incidence for certain risk factors (e.g. postoperative delirium, hypovolemia, pharmacological side effects and drug interactions). Additionally, malnutrition is common at the time of hospital admission in up to 70% of this patient group. If not recognized and treated accordingly all these risk factors lead to a compromised rehabilitation, higher complication rates, a prolonged length of hospital stay and a higher mortality. Special preoperative risk assessment scores, which highlight physical, psychological and social evaluation should be widely implemented in surgical departments. A standardized risk assessment embedded in evidence-based prerehabilitation programs and implemented in geriatric surgery centers can help to improve the outcome in this group of fragile patients.

Abstract
CONTEXT Palliative care (PC) for seriously ill surgical patients, including aligning treatments with patients' goals and managing symptoms, is associated with improved patient-oriented outcomes and decreased health care utilization. However, efforts to integrate PC alongside restorative surgical care are limited by the lack of a consensus definition for serious illness in the perioperative context. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to develop a serious illness definition for surgical patients and identify a denominator for quality measurement efforts. METHODS We developed a preliminary definition including a set of criteria for 11 conditions and health states. Using the RAND-UCLA Appropriateness Method, a 12-member expert advisory panel rated the criteria for each condition and health state twice, once after an in-person moderated discussion, for validity (primary outcome) and feasibility of measurement. RESULTS All panelists completed both rounds of rating. All 11 conditions and health states defining serious illness for surgical patients were rated as valid. During the in-person discussion, panelists refined and narrowed criteria for two conditions (vulnerable elder, heart failure). The final definition included the following 11 conditions and health states: vulnerable elder, heart failure, advanced cancer, oxygen-dependent pulmonary disease, cirrhosis, end-stage renal disease, dementia, critical trauma, frailty, nursing home residency, and American Society of Anesthesiology Risk Score IV-V. CONCLUSION We identified a consensus definition for serious illness in surgery. Opportunities remain in measuring the prevalence, identifying health trajectories, and developing screening criteria to integrate PC with restorative surgical care.
