Guo R, Zhang S, Yu S, Li X, Liu X, Shen Y, Wei J, Wu Y. Inclusion of frailty improved performance of delirium prediction for elderly patients in the cardiac intensive care unit (D-FRAIL): A prospective derivation and external validation study. Int J Nurs Stud 2023; 147:104582. [PMID: 37672971 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnurstu.2023.104582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The elderly patients admitted to cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) are at relatively high risk for developing delirium. A simple and reliable predictive model can benefit them from early recognition of delirium followed by timely and appropriate preventive strategies. OBJECTIVE To explore the role of frailty in delirium prediction and develop and validate a delirium predictive model including frailty for elderly patients in CICU. DESIGN A prospective, observational cohort study. SETTINGS CICU at China-Japan Friendship Hospital from March 1, 2022 to August 25, 2022 (derivation cohort); CICU at Beijing Anzhen Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from March 14, 2023 to May 8, 2023 (external validation cohort). PARTICIPANTS A total of 236 and 90 participants were enrolled in the derivation and external validation cohorts, respectively. Participants in the derivation cohort were assigned into either the delirium (n = 70) or non-delirium group (n = 166) based on the occurrence of delirium. METHODS The simplified Chinese version of the Confusion Assessment Method for the Diagnosis of Delirium in the Intensive Care Unit was used to assess delirium twice a day at 8:00-10:00 and 18:00-20:00 until the onset of delirium or discharge from the CICU. Frailty was assessed using the FRAIL scale during the first 24 h in the CICU. Other possible risk factors were collected prospectively through patient interviews and medical records review. After processing missing data via multiple imputations, univariate analysis and bootstrapped forward stepwise logistic regression were performed to select optimal predictors and develop the models. The models were internally validated using bootstrapping and evaluated comprehensively via discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility in both the derivation and external validation cohorts. RESULTS The study developed D-FRAIL predictive model using FRAIL score, hearing impairment, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation-II score, and fibrinogen. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.937 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.907-0.967) and 0.889 (95%CI: 0.840-0.938) even after bootstrapping in the derivation cohort. Inclusion of frailty was demonstrated to improve the model performance greatly with the AUC increased from 0.851 to 0.937 (p < 0.001). In the external validation cohort, the AUC of D-FRAIL model was 0.866 (95%CI: 0.782-0.907). Calibration plots and decision curve analysis suggested good calibration and clinical utility of the D-FRAIL model in both the derivation and external validation cohorts. CONCLUSIONS For elderly patients in the CICU, FRAIL score is an independent delirium predictor and the D-FRAIL model demonstrates superior performance in predicting delirium.

[PMID: 37147892 DOI: 10.1111/jsr.13920] [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: 12/11/2022] [Revised: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/07/2023]
Abstract
Postoperative delirium (POD) is a very common neurological complication after valve surgery. Some studies have shown that preoperative sleep disorder is associated with POD, but the correlation between preoperative slow wave sleep (SWS) and POD remains unclear. Therefore, this study aims to identify the correlation between preoperative slow wave sleep and postoperative delirium in patients with heart valve disease. This was a prospective, observational study of elective valve surgery patients admitted to the Heart Medical Center between November 2021 and July 2022. Polysomnography (PSG) was used to monitor sleep architecture from 9:30 p.m. for 1 night before surgery to 6:30 a.m. on the day of surgery. Patients were assessed for postoperative delirium from postoperative day 1 to extubation or day 5 by using the Richmond Agitation/Sedation Scale (RASS) and the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU). A total of 60 elective valve surgery patients were enrolled in this study. Prolonged N1 (11.44%) and N2 (58.62%) sleep, decreased N3 sleep (8.75%) and REM sleep (18.24%) within normal limits were the overall sleep architecture. Compared with patients without POD, patients with POD had less slow wave sleep 1 night before surgery (5.77% vs 10.88%, p < 0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors, slow wave sleep (OR: 0.647, 95% CI 0.493-0.851, p = 0.002) was found to be a protective factor for postoperative delirium. The preoperative SWS is a predictive factor of the POD in patients undergoing valve surgery. But further studies with larger sample sizes are still needed to elucidate the relationship between preoperative slow wave sleep and postoperative delirium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative delirium (POD) is a serious complication following anaesthesia and surgery and significantly influences postoperative outcome especially in the elderly population. Intraoperative music and positive suggestions influence postoperative outcomes by attenuating analgesic demand and increasing patient satisfaction. AIMS Here, we examined the effect of intraoperative music and positive suggestions on the development of POD in aged patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure under general anaesthesia. METHODS For this randomized placebo-controlled study, eligible patients without cognitive deficit, indicated by a MMSE < 10 points, were anesthetized using remifentanil and sevoflurane. Anaesthetic depth was guide with bispectral index. An audiotape with positive suggestions was applied from a MP3 player via headphones. POD, pain and PONV was assessed. CAM-ICU and Nu-DESC were done twice daily for the first 5 days. RESULTS Of 140 patients 118 patients could be analysed (57 male, 80.6 ± 5.1 years). POD was diagnosed in 16 patients (12.7%). POD was significantly more often observed in male (12, 21.1%) than in female (4, 6.6%, p = 0.02) and in patients with a low MMSE (23.6 ± 4.5 vs. 26.8 ± 2.8, p = 0.001). Anaesthetic depth did not influence the incidence of POD. Intraoperative music and suggestions did not affect the rate of POD, pain, analgesic requirement or PONV. DISCUSSION In patients undergoing TAVR male sex and low MMSE scoring are associated with an increase in POD. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative music and positive suggestions do not influence the incidence of POD in this patient group.

Postoperative delirium in 47 379 individuals undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Ann Med Surg (Lond) 2023; 85:4476-4490. [PMID: 37663694 PMCID: PMC10473306 DOI: 10.1097/ms9.0000000000001096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective The study aims to discuss the assessment methods used for the incidence of in-hospital postoperative delirium (IHPOD) in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) patients and explore possible strategies for preventing and reducing postoperative complications in the geriatric population. Methodology An electronic search of PubMed, Embase, BioMedCentral, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials was conducted up to August 2021, to identify studies on the IHPOD following TAVR in patients above 70 years. The primary objective of the study was to determine the incidence of delirium following TAVR and procedures like transfemoral (TF) and non-TF approaches. The secondary objectives were to determine the incidence of stroke and incidence according to the confusion assessment method (CAM) diagnostic tool. The authors only included studies published in English and excluded patients with comorbidities and studies with inaccessible full-text. Results Among the selected 42 studies with 47 379 patients, the incidence of IHPOD following TAVR was 10.5% (95% CI: 9.2-11.9%, I2=95.82%, P<0.001). Incidence based on CAM was 15.6% (95% CI: 10.5-20.7%, I2=95.36%, P<0.001). The incidence of IHPOD after TF-TAVR was 9.3% (95% CI: 7.6-11.0%, I2=94.52%, P<0.001), and after non-TF TAVI was 25.3% (95% CI: 15.4-35.1%, I2=92.45%, P<0.001). The incidence of stroke was 3.7% (95% CI: 2.9-4.5%, I2=89.76%, P<0.001). Meta-regression analyses between mean age (P=0.146), logistic EuroSCORE (P=0.099), or percentage of participants treated using the TF approach (P=0.276) were nonsignificant while stroke (P=0.010) was significant. When considering these variables, the residual heterogeneity remained high indicating that other variables influence the heterogeneity. Conclusion IHPOD following TAVR was observed in 10.5% of individuals and in 15.6% using CAM. Its incidence was found to be three times higher after non-TF TAVR (25.3%) compared to TF TAVR (9.3%). Stroke showed an incidence of 3.7% after TAVR and was found to be significantly associated with the risk of developing delirium following TAVR. Further studies are needed to evaluate possible causes and risk factors responsible for delirium and to assess the role of anesthesia and cerebral embolic protection in preventing delirium after TAVR.

Abstract
AIMS To perform an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of postoperative delirium (POD) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). METHODS We conducted a systematic literature search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases from the time of the first human TAVR procedure in 2002 until December 24, 2021, which was supplemented by manual searches of bibliographies. Data were collected on incidence rates, risk factors, and/or associated mortality of POD after TAVR. Pooled analyses were conducted using random effects models to yield mean differences, odds ratios, hazard ratios, and risk ratios, with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS A total of 70 articles (69 studies) comprising 413,389 patients were included. The study heterogeneity was substantial. The pooled mean incidence of POD after TAVR in all included studies was 9.8% (95% CI: 8.7%-11.0%), whereas that in studies using validated tools to assess for delirium at least once a day for at least 2 consecutive days after TAVR was 20.7% (95% CI: 17.8%-23.7%). According to the level of evidence and results of meta-analysis, independent preoperative risk factors with a high level of evidence included increased age, male sex, prior stroke or transient ischemic attack, atrial fibrillation/flutter, weight loss, electrolyte abnormality, and impaired Instrumental Activities of Daily Living; intraoperative risk factors included non-transfemoral access and general anesthesia; and acute kidney injury was a postoperative risk factor. POD after TAVR was associated with significantly increased mortality (pooled unadjusted RR: 2.20, 95% CI: 1.79-2.71; pooled adjusted RR: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.25-2.10), particularly long-term mortality (pooled unadjusted HR: 2.84, 95% CI: 1.91-4.23; pooled adjusted HR: 1.88, 95% CI: 1.30-2.73). CONCLUSIONS POD after TAVR is common and is associated with an increased risk of mortality. Accurate identification of risk factors for POD after TAVR and implementation of preventive measures are critical to improve prognosis.

Abstract
The past decade has witnessed unprecedented medical progress, which has translated into cardiac surgery being increasingly common and safe. However, complications such as postoperative delirium remain a major concern. Although the pathophysiological changes of delirium after cardiac surgery remain poorly understood, it is widely thought that inflammation and oxidative stress may be potential triggers of delirium. The development of delirium following cardiac surgery is associated with perioperative risk factors. Multiple interventions are being explored to prevent and treat delirium. Therefore, research on the potential role of biomarkers in delirium as well as identification of perioperative risk factors and pharmacological interventions are necessary to mitigate the development of delirium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For patients with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), increased length of stay (LOS) is associated with increased long-term mortality. The main objective of our study was to analyze the association between geriatrics factors and the hospital LOS for older patients undergoing TAVR for severe aortic stenosis. METHODS This retrospective single-center study included all patients aged ≥75 who underwent TAVR between January 2018 and January 2019. Hospital LOS and postoperative complications were analyzed regarding the geriatric factors recorded during a systematic preoperative, comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). The individualized-care plans established after the preoperative CGA were also analyzed. RESULTS median LOS of the 196 patients included was 6 days (interquartile range: 4-8), and 29% of patients had prolonged LOS. In a multivariable analysis, the preoperative factors associated with a prolonged hospital LOS were EuroSCORE I (p value = 0.02), prior major neurocognitive disorders (p value = 0.01), femoral access (p value <0.001), all complications (p value <0.001), and discharge in a rehabilitation center (p value <0.001). One-fourth (27%) of the patients had at least 1 geriatric complication. After CGA, 69 patients did not need any geriatric recommendation, whereas for the 127 other patients, an individualized-care plan was established but only 46 (36%) of them were followed up. CONCLUSION Our results favor the preoperative screening for major neurocognitive disorders in order to reduce LOS. Furthermore, the proposed individual-care plans after CGA were poorly followed. Practitioners may perceive the preoperative CGA as a screening tool, but its primary objective is to develop an individualized-care plan as a prehabilitation plan in order to optimize the physical, functional, and social issues.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In older patients, postoperative delirium is a frequently occurring complication after surgical aortic valve replacement, leading to an excess in postoperative morbidity and mortality. It remains controversial whether transcatheter aortic valve implantation and minimally invasive surgical aortic valve replacement can reduce the risk of postoperative delirium. This study aimed to compare the incidence of postoperative delirium after transcatheter aortic valve implantation and surgical aortic valve replacement and the impact on long-term outcomes. METHODS Between September 2018 and January 2020, we conducted an observational, prospective cohort study in patients aged 70 years or more undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation or surgical aortic valve replacement. The primary end point was the incidence of in-hospital postoperative delirium during 5 postoperative days assessed with the Confusion Assessment Method. Secondary end points included perioperative inflammation, postoperative complications, health status (EuroQol 5-dimensional questionnaire 5 levels), and mortality up to 6 months. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation and surgical aortic valve replacement were compared using propensity weighting to account for important baseline differences (European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II, age, and frailty). RESULTS We included 250 patients with a mean (standard deviation) age of 80 (±5.8) years and a European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation score of 5 (±4.7). In the propensity-weighted analysis, those undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (N = 166) had a higher incidence of postoperative delirium compared with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (N = 84) (51% vs 15%: P < .0001). Furthermore, patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement experienced more inflammation, a greater depth of anesthesia, and more intraoperative hypotension. After surgical aortic valve replacement, 41% of patients experienced an improved health status compared with 12% after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (P < .0001). No outcome differences were noted within the surgical aortic valve replacement groups. CONCLUSIONS Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is associated with a lower risk for postoperative delirium. Nevertheless, patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement experience the greatest improvement in quality of life. Heart teams should consider these outcomes in shared decision-making in the choice of transcatheter aortic valve implantation or surgical aortic valve replacement.

Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a fast-growing procedure. Expanding to low-risk patients, it has surpassed surgical aortic valve implantation in frequency and has been associated with excellent outcomes. Stroke is a devastating complication after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Silent brain infarcts identified by diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging are present in most patients following TAVI. Postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction are common neurologic complications. The stroke and silent brain infarcts are likely caused by particulate emboli released during the procedure. Intravascularly positioned cerebral embolic protection devices are designed to prevent debris from entering the aortic arch vessels to avoid stroke. Despite promising design, randomized clinical trials have not demonstrated a reduction in stroke in patients receiving cerebral embolic protection devices. Similarly, the association of cerebral embolic protection devices with silent brain infarcts, postoperative delirium, and cognitive dysfunction is uncertain. Monitored anesthesia care or conscious sedation is as safe as general anesthesia and is associated with lower cost, but different anesthetic techniques have not been shown to decrease stroke risk, postoperative delirium, or cognitive dysfunction. Anesthesiologists play important roles in providing perioperative care including management of neurologic events in patients undergoing TAVI. Large randomized clinical trials are needed that focus on the correlation between perioperative interventions and neurologic outcomes.

Predisposing and Precipitating Risk Factors for Delirium in Elderly Patients Admitted to a Cardiology Ward: An Observational Cohort Study in 1,042 Patients. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:686665. [PMID: 34660708 PMCID: PMC8513394 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.686665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim: Although the risk factors for delirium in general medicine are well-established, their significance in cardiac diseases remains to be determined. Therefore, we evaluated the predisposing and precipitating risk factors in patients hospitalized with acute and chronic heart disease. Methods and Results: In this observational cohort study, 1,042 elderly patients (≥65 years) admitted to cardiology wards, 167 with and 875 without delirium, were included. The relevant sociodemographic and cardiac- and medical-related clusters were assessed by simple and multiple regression analyses and prediction models evaluating their association with delirium. The prevalence of delirium was 16.0%. The delirious patients were older (mean 80 vs. 76 years; p < 0.001) and more often institutionalized prior to admission (3.6 vs. 1.4%, p = 0.05), hospitalized twice as long (12 ± 10 days vs. 7 ± 7 days; p < 0.001), and discharged more often to nursing homes (4.8 vs. 0.6%, p < 0.001) or deceased (OR, 2.99; 95% CI, 1.53–5.85; p = 0.003). The most relevant risk factor was dementia (OR, 18.11; 95% CI, 5.77–56.83; p < 0.001), followed by history of stroke (OR, 6.61; 95% CI 1.35–32.44; p = 0.020), and pressure ulcers (OR, 3.62; 95% CI, 1.06–12.35; p = 0.040). The predicted probability for developing delirium was highest in patients with reduced mobility and institutionalization prior to admission (PP = 31.2%, p = 0.001). Of the cardiac diseases, only valvular heart disease (OR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.01–2.44; p = 0.044) significantly predicted delirium. The patients undergoing cardiac interventions did not have higher rates of delirium (OR, 1.39; 95% CI 0.91–2.12; p = 0.124). Conclusion: In patients admitted to a cardiology ward, age-related functional and cognitive impairment, history of stroke, and pressure ulcers were the most relevant risk factors for delirium. With regards to specific cardiological factors, only valvular heart disease was associated with risk for delirium. Knowing these factors can help cardiologists to facilitate the early detection and management of delirium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The early prediction model for delirium in intensive care units (ICUs)-E-PRE-DELIRIC-has been created to predict delirium development during the length of stay in ICUs. However, there have been few early predictive models for delirium in the cardiac surgical ICU (CSICU), and the predictive ability of the E-PRE-DELIRIC among patients following cardiac surgeries is still unknown. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To validate the performance of E-PRE-DELIRIC in CSICU. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. METHODS Data were retrospectively extracted from the electronic records for patients admitted in CSICU from January 2018 to December 2018 in a tertiary teaching hospital in China. Adult patients were included following the criteria of the E-PRE-DELIRIC model. Predictors, including age, history of cognitive impairment, history of alcohol abuse, urgent admission, use of corticosteroids, respiratory failure, blood urea nitrogen, and mean arterial pressure, at the time of ICU admission were retrieved, and delirium was assessed twice a day using the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU. The performance of the E-PRE-DELIRIC model was evaluated by area under receiver operator characteristic curve, precision-recall curve (AUPRC), Hosmer-Lemeshow (HL) test, and calibration belt. RESULTS Of the 725 patients included, 120 (16.6%) developed delirium. The AUROC was 0.54 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.48-0.59), and the AUPRC was 0.18 (95% CI, 0.12-0.20). The HL test showed a significant difference between predicted probability and delirium occurrence (χ2 = 17.326, P = .027), and the overestimation chance of the E-PRE-DELIRIC score was 0.24 to 0.43. CONCLUSION The E-PRE-DELIRIC model has poor-to-fair predictive value in this study; thus, its application among the CSICU patients is limited. Development of reliable and validated tools for early prediction of delirium in CSICU is required. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Early prediction of delirium risk at CSICU admission is of vital importance and could provide timely information to caregivers. However, the E-PRE-DELIRIC model should be applied cautiously in the CSICU because of the significant probability of over-estimating the risk of developing delirium.

Abstract
Aortic stenosis (AS) is a common valvular disease in older age. Definitive interventions include surgical aortic valve replacement or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). In high-risk patients, frailty is observed in up to 50% awaiting TAVI. Frailty is now an established predictor of outcomes in patients with AS who undergo intervention. There is currently no consensus definition for frailty. It is widely described as a syndrome of loss in physiological reserve predisposing to increased vulnerability for death or dependency. Frailty encompasses a holistic view including domains of physical function, cognition, depression, nutrition and medical comorbidities. Individual components of frailty have been shown to significantly predict mortality, functional recovery and quality of life after TAVI. The addition of frailty components to conventional risk prediction models traditionally used in cardiac surgery has been shown to augment overall prediction for post-operative mortality and morbidity. Identifying patients who are frail at baseline provides an opportunity to modify dynamic aspects of frailty prior to, and after definitive intervention for AS. A multidisciplinary approach including comprehensive geriatric pre-operative assessment will likely become standard of care to identify and optimise frail patients awaiting TAVI. In this review, we discuss the definition and measurement of frailty in patients with AS, evaluate recent data on risk prediction associated with frailty, and outline approaches to optimisation of dynamic components of frailty to improve outcomes after AS intervention.

Incidence, Risk Factors and Impact on Long-Term Outcome of Postoperative Delirium After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:645724. [PMID: 33842564 PMCID: PMC8032857 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.645724] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2020] [Accepted: 03/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The aim of the present study was to analyze incidence, risk factors, and association with long-term outcome of postoperative delirium (POD) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Methods: Six hundred and sixty one consecutive patients undergoing TAVR were prospectively enrolled from January 2016 to December 2017. POD was assessed regularly during ICU-stay using the CAM-ICU test. Results: The incidence of POD was 10.0% (n = 66). Patients developing POD were predominantly male (65%), had higher EuroSCORE II (5.4% vs. 3.9%; P = 0.041) and were more often considered frail (70% vs. 26%; P < 0.001). POD was associated with more peri-procedural complications including vascular complications (19.7 vs. 9.4; P = 0.017), bleeding (12.1 vs. 5.4%; P = 0.0495); stroke (4.5 vs. 0.7%; P = 0.025), respiratory failure requiring ventilation (16.7% vs. 1.8%; P < 0.001), and pneumonia (34.8% vs. 7.1%; P < 0.001). Consequently, patients with POD had significantly longer ICU- (7.9 vs. 3.2 days P < 0.001) and hospital-stay (14.9 vs. 9.0 days; P < 0.001), and higher in-hospital mortality (6.1 vs. 2.1%; P = 0.017). Logistic regression analysis identified male sex (odds ratio (OR) 2.2 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.2–4.0); P = 0.012], atrial fibrillation [OR 3.0 (CI 1.6–5.6); P < 0.001], frailty [OR 4.3 (CI 2.4–7.9); P < 0.001], pneumonia [OR 4.4 (CI 2.3–8.7); P < 0.001], stroke [OR 7.0 (CI 1.2–41.6); P = 0.031], vascular complication [OR 2.9 (CI 1.3–6.3); P = 0.007], and general anesthesia [OR 2.0 (CI 1.0–3.7); P = 0.039] as independent predictors of POD. On Cox proportional hazard analysis POD emerged as a significant predictor of 2-year mortality [HR 1.89 (CI 1.06–3.36); P = 0.030]. Conclusion: POD is a frequent finding after TAVR and is significantly associated with reduced 2-year survival. Predictors of delirium include not only peri-procedural parameters like stroke, pneumonia, vascular complications and general anesthesia but also baseline characteristics as male sex, atrial fibrillation and frailty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Postoperative pain can cause serious adverse reactions that severely affect postoperative outcome. The present study evaluated the effect of dexmedetomidine (DEX) added to sufentanil in intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) on the relief of pain and inflammatory responses during postoperative recovery of patients undergoing a combined thoracoscopic-laparoscopic esophagectomy (TLE). METHODS Sixty patients undergoing TLE were randomly allocated to receive 1 μg/ml of sufentanil alone (Group S) or 1 μg/ml of sufentanil plus 2.5 μg/ml of DEX (Group D) for postoperative intravenous (IV) PCA. Postoperative pain relief, cumulative PCA requirements, inflammatory marker levels, delirium and recovery were assessed. RESULTS A joint DEX and sufentanil regimen significantly reduced the area under the curve of numerical rating scores for pain at rest (NRSR) and coughing (NRSC) at 1-48 h postoperatively (P = 0.000) that were associated with lower PCA-delivered cumulative sufentanil consumption and less PCA frequency until 48 h postoperatively (P < 0.05 and P < 0.0001, respectively). The simultaneous administration of DEX and sufentanil significantly reduced plasma IL-6 and TNF-α concentrations and increased IL-10 level (P < 0.0001, P = 0.0003 and P = 0.0345, respectively), accompanied by better postoperative delirium categories and health statuses of patients (P = 0.024 and P < 0.05, respectively). There was no hypotension, bradycardia, respiratory depression or oversedation in Group D. CONCLUSION Patients receiving DEX in addition to IV PCA sufentanil for TLE exhibited better postoperative analgesia, fewer inflammatory responses and lower postoperative delirium categories and better health statuses.

Abstract
Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is increasingly performed in frail older patients who were previously ineligible for a standard surgical procedure. The objectives of this study are to determine delirium incidence, predictors, and relationship with cognitive performance at 3-month follow-up in older patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR). Methods Patients (N = 93) aged 70 years and older, undergoing transcatheter (TAVR, N = 66) or surgical (SAVR, N = 27) aortic valve replacement in an academic medical center were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. Delirium was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) on postoperative days 1, 2, 3, and 7. Data on patients’ socio-demographics, functional status (including instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), and surgical risk scores (including Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) risk score), were collected at baseline. Cognitive status was assessed with the Mini-Mental Status Exam (MMSE) and the Clock Drawing Test (CDT) at baseline and 3 months after AVR. Results Delirium occurred in 21 (23%) patients, within the first three postoperative days in 95% (20/21) of the cases. Delirium incidence was lower in TAVR (13/66 = 20%) than SAVR (8/27 = 30%) patients, but this difference was not statistically significant (p = .298). Patients with delirium had lower baseline cognitive performance (median MMSE score 27.0 ± 3.0 vs 28.0 ± 3.0, p = .029), lower performance in IADL (7.0 vs 8.0, p = .038), and higher STS risk scores (4.7 ± 2.7 vs 2.9 ± 2.3, p = .020). In multivariate analyses, patients with intermediate (score > 3 to ≤8) and high (score > 8) STS risk scores had 4.3 (95%CI 1.2–15.1, p = .025) and 16.5 (95%CI 2.0–138.2, p = .010), respectively, higher odds of incident delirium compared to patients with low (score ≤ 3) STS risk scores. At 3-month follow-up (N = 77), patients with delirium still had lower MMSE score (27.0 ± 8.0 vs 28.0 ± 2.0, p = .007) but this difference did not remain significant once adjusting for baseline MMSE (β-coefficient 1.11, 95%CI [− 3.03–0.80], p = .248). Conclusions Delirium occurred in about one in five older patients undergoing AVR, almost essentially within the first three postoperative days. Beside cognitive performance, STS risk score could enhance the identification of high-risk older patients to better target preventative interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delirium is a cognitive disorder that commonly occurs during hospitalization in acute cardiac care units (ACCU), but its effect after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has not been well evaluated. The objective of this study is to determine the incidence, predictive factors and prognostic impact of delirium following TAVR. METHODS A total of 501 consecutive patients admitted to an ACCU after TAVR were included. The Confusion Assessment Method was used to evaluate delirium during ACCU stay. Risk factors, preventive pharmacological treatment, peri-procedural characteristics and complications were assessed. Clinical events were recorded with a median follow-up of 24 months. RESULTS The incidence of delirium after TAVR was 22.0% (n = 110). Previous cognitive impairment (OR 4.17; 95% CI 1.11-15.71; p = 0.035), peripheral arterial disease (OR 4.54; 95% CI 1.79-11.54; p = 0.001), the use of general anaesthesia (OR 2.55; 95% CI 1.32-4.90; p = 0.005), and prolonged mechanical ventilation (OR 18.86; 95% CI 1.85-192.58; p = 0.013) were significantly associated with the development of delirium. Patients with delirium had a greater hospital length of stay (7.5 [5.5-13.5] vs 5.6 [4.6-8.2] days, mean difference - 3.49; 95% CI -5.45 to -1.52; p < 0.001), and higher in-hospital (OR 2.68; 95% CI 1.02-6.99; p = 0.045), 1-year (HR 2.09; 95% CI 1.13-3.87; p = 0.018) and 2-year mortality (HR 1.94; 95% CI 1.12-3.34; p = 0.017). CONCLUSIONS Delirium is a frequent complication in patients admitted to ACCU after TAVR, and is associated with prolonged hospital stay and higher in-hospital and mid-term mortality.

MEASUREMENTS A frailty index (based on geriatric assessment) and cardiac risk scores (EuroSCORE, Society of Thoracic Surgeons [STS] score) were determined in patients before TAVI. Basic ADL function was measured with patient or proxy interviews at baseline and 1-year follow up. We used logistic regression models to investigate the association between baseline factors and functional decline. RESULTS At 1-year follow up, 229 (69.4%) of the 330 patients had stable or improved basic ADL function, 49 (14.8%) experienced a decline in basic ADL function, and 52 (15.8%) died. The frailty index, but not cardiac risk scores, significantly predicted decline in basic ADL function. Among the 34 surviving very frail patients, 12 (35.3%) experienced a functional status decline, and the remaining 22 (64.7%) had stable or improved functional status at 1-year follow up. CONCLUSION This study confirms that a frailty index, and not cardiac risk scores, identifies patients at an increased risk of functional status decline after TAVI. Identifying patients with a high frailty index before TAVI is clinically relevant as these patients might benefit from targeted geriatric management and rehabilitation after TAVI. However, based on current data, it is not justified to use information on frailty status as the criterion for identifying patients in whom TAVI might be futile. Although the probability of poor outcome is high, very frail patients also have a high probability of favorable long-term functional outcome.

Abstract
AIM Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become an important treatment option for older patients with severe aortic stenosis. However, not all patients benefit from this procedure in terms of functional outcome and quality of life. This complicates patient selection and shared decision-making. Postoperative delirium might negatively affect patient outcomes after TAVI. We therefore studied the potential relationship between postoperative delirium and functional outcome, and how this impacts quality of life after TAVI. METHODS This was a prospective cohort study of 91 consecutive patients undergoing TAVI between 2015 and 2017 at an academic medical center. All patients underwent a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment before TAVI. Delirium symptoms were assessed daily during hospitalization. Follow up was carried out between 6 and 12 months postprocedure. The primary outcome was functional decline or death at follow up. Secondarily, we measured quality of life at follow up. RESULTS The incidence of postoperative delirium was 15.4%. In total, 38.5% of patients experienced functional decline, and 11.0% died during a median follow-up period of 7 months. Delirium resulted in a fourfold increased odds of the combined outcome of functional decline or death. Quality of life was lower in patients that experienced this outcome. CONCLUSION In a cohort of TAVI patients, functional decline or death was a frequent outcome in the first year postprocedure. Postoperative delirium increased the odds for this outcome substantially. This suggests that delirium risk should be an important factor to consider in shared decision-making for TAVI patients. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2020; 20: 1202-1207.

Preoperative Cognitive Impairment and Postoperative Delirium Predict Decline in Activities of Daily Living after Cardiac Surgery-A Prospective, Observational Cohort Study. Geriatrics (Basel) 2020; 5:geriatrics5040069. [PMID: 33022910 PMCID: PMC7709655 DOI: 10.3390/geriatrics5040069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2020] [Revised: 09/27/2020] [Accepted: 09/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Cardiac surgery and subsequent treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) has been shown to be associated with functional decline, especially in elderly patients. Due to the different assessment tools and assessment periods, it remains yet unclear what parameters determine unfavorable outcomes. This study sought to identify risk factors during the entire perioperative period and focused on the decline in activity of daily living (ADL) half a year after cardiac surgery. Follow-ups of 125 patients were available. It was found that in the majority of patients (60%), the mean ADL declined by 4.9 points (95% CI, −6.4 to −3.5; p < 0.000). In the “No decline” -group, the ADL rose by 3.3 points (2.0 to 4.6; p < 0.001). A multiple regression analysis revealed that preoperative cognitive impairment (MMSE ≤ 26; Exp(B) 2.862 (95%CI, 1.192–6.872); p = 0.019) and duration of postoperative delirium ≥ 2 days (Exp(B) 3.534 (1.094–11.411); p = 0.035) was independently associated with ADL decline half a year after the operation and ICU. Of note, preoperative ADL per se was neither associated with baseline cognitive function nor a risk factor for functional decline. We conclude that the preoperative assessment of cognitive function, rather than functional assessments, should be part of risk stratification when planning complex cardiosurgical procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment and frailty are highly prevalent in older adults undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of cognitive impairment and frailty with functional recovery after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. METHODS This was a single-center prospective cohort study of 142 patients who were ≥70 years old and underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis. Prior to transcatheter aortic valve replacement, cognitive impairment was defined as Mini-Mental State Examination score <24 points (range: 0-30), and moderate-to-severe frailty was defined as a deficit-accumulation frailty index ≥0.35 (range: 0-1). The functional status composite score, the number of 22 daily and physical tasks that a patient could perform independently, measured at baseline and 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively were analyzed using linear mixed-effects model. RESULTS The mean age was 84.2 years; 74 subjects were women (51.8%). Patients with moderate-to-severe frailty and cognitive impairment (n = 27, 19.0%) had the lowest functional status at baseline and throughout 12 months, while patients with mild or no frailty and no cognitive impairment (n = 48, 33.8%) had the best functional status. Patients with cognitive impairment alone (n = 19, 13.4%) had better functional status at baseline than those with moderate-to-severe frailty alone (n = 48, 33.8%), but their functional status scores merged and remained similar during the follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative cognitive function plays a vital role in functional recovery after transcatheter aortic valve replacement, regardless of baseline frailty status. Impaired cognition may increase functional decline in the absence of frailty, whereas intact cognition may mitigate the detrimental effects of frailty. Cognitive assessment should be routinely performed prior to transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Physical Performance and Risk of Postoperative Delirium in Older Adults Undergoing Aortic Valve Replacement. Clin Interv Aging 2020; 15:1471-1479.

Abstract
Background Delirium is a major risk factor for poor recovery after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). It is unclear whether preoperative physical performance tests improve delirium prediction. Objective To examine whether physical performance tests can predict delirium after SAVR and TAVR, and adapt an existing delirium prediction rule for cardiac surgery, which includes Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), depression, prior stroke, and albumin level. Design Prospective cohort, 2014-2017. Setting Single academic center. Subjects A total of 187 patients undergoing SAVR (n=77) or TAVR (n=110). Methods The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score was calculated based on gait speed, balance, and chair stands (range: 0-12 points, lower scores indicate poor performance). Delirium was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method. We fitted logistic regression to predict delirium using SPPB components and risk factors of delirium. Results Delirium occurred in 35.8% (50.7% in SAVR and 25.5% in TAVR). The risk of delirium increased for lower SPPB scores: 10-12 (28.2%), 7-9 (34.5%), 4-6 (37.5%) and 0-3 (44.1%) (p-for-trend=0.001). A model that included gait speed <0.46 meter/second (OR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.2-6.4), chair stands time ≥11.2 seconds (OR, 3.5; 95% CI, 1.0-12.4), MMSE <24 points (OR, 2.9; 95% CI, 1.3-6.4), isolated SAVR (OR, 5.4; 95% CI, 2.1-13.8), and SAVR and coronary artery bypass grafting (OR, 15.8; 95% CI, 5.5-45.7) predicted delirium better than the existing prediction rule (C statistics: 0.71 vs 0.61; p=0.035). Conclusion Assessing physical performance, in addition to cognitive function, can help identify high-risk patients for delirium after SAVR and TAVR.
