Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between affective measures and cognition before and after non-cardiac surgery in older adults. METHODS Observational prospective cohort study in 103 surgical patients age ≥ 60 years old. All participants underwent cognitive testing, Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression, and State Anxiety Inventory screening before and 6 weeks after surgery. Cognitive test scores were combined by factor analysis into 4 cognitive domains, whose mean was defined as the continuous cognitive index (CCI). Postoperative global cognitive change was defined by CCI change from before to after surgery, with negative CCI change indicating worsened postoperative global cognition and vice versa. RESULTS Lower global cognition before surgery was associated with greater baseline depression severity (Spearman's r = -0.30, p = 0.002) and baseline anxiety severity (Spearman's r = -0.25, p = 0.010), and these associations were similar following surgery (r = -0.36, p < 0.001; r = -0.26, p = 0.008, respectively). Neither baseline depression or anxiety severity, nor postoperative changes in depression or anxiety severity, were associated with pre- to postoperative global cognitive change. CONCLUSIONS Greater depression and anxiety severity were each associated with poorer cognitive performance both before and after surgery in older adults. Yet, neither baseline depression or anxiety symptoms, nor postoperative change in these symptoms, were associated with postoperative cognitive change.

Risk Factors for Delirium and Cognitive Decline Following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Am Heart Assoc 2020; 9:e017275.

Abstract
Background Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is known to improve heart function and quality of life, while rates of surgery‐related mortality are low. However, delirium and cognitive decline are common complications. We sought to identify preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative risk or protective factors associated with delirium and cognitive decline (across time) in patients undergoing CABG. Methods and Results We conducted a systematic search of Medline, PsycINFO, EMBASE, and Cochrane (March 26, 2019) for peer‐reviewed, English publications reporting post‐CABG delirium or cognitive decline data, for at least one risk factor. Random‐effects meta‐analyses estimated pooled odds ratio for categorical data and mean difference or standardized mean difference for continuous data. Ninety‐seven studies, comprising data from 60 479 patients who underwent CABG, were included. Moderate to large and statistically significant risk factors for delirium were as follows: (1) preoperative cognitive impairment, depression, stroke history, and higher European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) score, (2) intraoperative increase in intubation time, and (3) postoperative presence of arrythmia and increased days in the intensive care unit; higher preoperative cognitive performance was protective for delirium. Moderate to large and statistically significant risk factors for acute cognitive decline were as follows: (1) preoperative depression and older age, (2) intraoperative increase in intubation time, and (3) postoperative presence of delirium and increased days in the intensive care unit. Presence of depression preoperatively was a moderate risk factor for midterm (1–6 months) post‐CABG cognitive decline. Conclusions This meta‐analysis identified several key risk factors for delirium and cognitive decline following CABG, most of which are nonmodifiable. Future research should target preoperative risk factors, such as depression or cognitive impairment, which are potentially modifiable.

Preoperative cerebral ischemic lesions predict physical health status after on-pump coronary artery bypass surgery. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2005; 130:1691-7. [PMID: 16308017 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2005.08.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2005] [Revised: 07/29/2005] [Accepted: 08/15/2005] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Risk assessment is integral to patient selection and counseling before coronary artery revascularization. We studied the predictive ability of cerebral magnetic resonance imaging of preoperative and postoperative cerebral ischemic injury on self-reported physical and mental health at 3 months after coronary artery bypass surgery with or without use of cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS In a prospective clinical trial comparing on-pump and off-pump surgery, 120 patients responded to a questionnaire for self-report of angina (Canadian Cardiovascular Society scale) and physical and mental health status (Short Form 36) at baseline before preoperative cerebral magnetic resonance imaging. Preoperative sets of both magnetic resonance imaging and self-assessments were available for 103 (85.8%) patients. These patients were grouped according to classification of preoperative cerebral magnetic resonance imaging findings. Analysis of covariance determined the association of (1) preoperative magnetic resonance imaging status, (2) new postoperative cerebral lesions, and (3) actual use of cardiopulmonary bypass to physical and mental health. RESULTS At 3 months after surgical intervention, 98 of 103 patients completed follow-up. The analysis revealed an interaction effect of preoperative cerebral ischemic injury and use of cardiopulmonary bypass on physical health (F = 9.07, P = .003) independent of age. No independent effects on health status were found of baseline magnetic resonance imaging or new cerebral lesions at 3 months. CONCLUSIONS This study strongly suggests that the combination of preoperative cerebral ischemic injury and use of cardiopulmonary bypass can predict postoperative health status at 3 months. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging might be a more specific indicator than age for preoperative assessment of vulnerability or resilience during rehabilitation after on-pump cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Background and Purpose—
The presence of new ischemic brain infarcts, detected by diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI), have been reported in considerable number of patients after cardiac surgery. We sought to determine the role of proximal thoracic aortic atheroma in predicting embolic events and new ischemic brain lesions in patients undergoing conventional coronary revascularization surgery.
Methods—
Transesophageal echocardiography and epiaortic scanning was performed to assess the severity of aortic atherosclerosis in the ascending aorta and the aortic arch. Patients were allocated to either low-risk group, (intimal thickness ≤2mm), or high-risk group (intimal thickness >2mm). Transcranial Doppler was used to monitor the middle cerebral artery. DW-MRI was performed 3–7 days after surgery. The NEECHAM Confusion Scale was used for assessment and monitoring patient consciousness level.
Results—
Patients in the high-risk group were considerably older; 71±6 (n=38) versus 67±6 (n=72) years,
P
=0.004 and were more likely to have impaired left ventricular function. Confusion was present in 6 (16%) patients in the high-risk group and 5 (7%) patients in the low-risk group. Patients in the high-risk group had a three-fold increase in median embolic count, 223.5 versus 70.0,
P
=0.0003. DW-MRI detected brain lesions were only present in patients from high-risk group, 61.5 versus 0%,
P
<0.0001. There was significant correlation between the NEECHAM scores and embolic count in the high-risk group; r=0.63,
P
<0.001.
Conclusions—
The findings of this investigation suggest that mild to moderate atheromatous disease of the ascending aorta and the aortic arch (intimal thickness >2mm) is a major contributor to ischemic brain injury after cardiac surgery.
