The Combination of Presurgical Cortical Gray Matter Volumetry and Cerebral Perfusion Improves the Efficacy of Predicting Postoperative Cognitive Impairment of Elderly Patients. Tomography 2024; 10:1379-1396. [PMID: 39330750 PMCID: PMC11435822 DOI: 10.3390/tomography10090104] [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: 07/15/2024] [Revised: 08/23/2024] [Accepted: 08/28/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common complication of the central nervous system in elderly surgical patients. Structural MRI and arterial spin labelling (ASL) techniques found that the grey matter volume and cerebral perfusion in some specific brain areas are associated with the occurrence of POCD, but the results are inconsistent, and the predictive accuracy is low. We hypothesised that the combination of cortical grey matter volumetry and cerebral blood flow yield higher accuracy than either of the methods in discriminating the elderly individuals who are susceptible to POCD after abdominal surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Participants underwent neuropsychological testing before and after surgery. Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) was defined as a decrease in cognitive score of at least 20%. ASL-MRI and T1-weighted imaging were performed before surgery. We compared differences in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cortical grey matter characteristics between POCD and non-POCD patients and generated receiver operating characteristic curves. RESULTS Out of 51 patients, 9 (17%) were diagnosed with POCD. CBF in the inferior frontal gyrus was lower in the POCD group compared to the non-POCD group (p < 0.001), and the volume of cortical grey matter in the anterior cingulate gyrus was higher in the POCD group (p < 0.001). The highest AUC value was 0.973. CONCLUSIONS The combination of cortical grey matter volumetry and cerebral perfusion based on ASL-MRI has improved efficacy in the early warning of POCD to elderly abdominal surgical patients.

The Association of Cerebral Autoregulation Dysfunction and Postoperative Memory Impairment in Cardiac Surgery Patients. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:1337. [PMID: 39202618 PMCID: PMC11356179 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60081337] [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: 06/29/2024] [Revised: 07/24/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/03/2024]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Cardiac surgery is associated with various durations of cerebral autoregulation (CA) impairment and can significantly impact cognitive function. Cognitive functions such as memory, psychomotor speed, and attention are significantly impacted after cardiac surgery, necessitating prioritization of these areas in cognitive function tests. There is a lack of research connecting cerebral autoregulation impairment to specific cognitive function domains after cardiac surgery. This study aimed to determine if impaired cerebral autoregulation is associated with postoperative memory impairment and to test the hypothesis that the duration of this impairment affects the development of postoperative memory issues. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted in 2021-2023. After approval of the Ethics Committee and with patient's written consent, 83 adult patients undergoing elective on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery were enrolled. All patients were assessed for cognitive function 1 day before surgery using the Mini-Mental state examination (MMSE-2) test as a screening tool and the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R) to assess memory specifically. To diagnose possible memory impairment (IM), all patients underwent a repeat assessment of cognitive function on the 7th-10th postoperative day. Cerebral autoregulation monitoring using transcranial Doppler was performed. Cerebral autoregulation status index (Mx) was recorded using Intensive Care Brain Monitoring System software, 9.1.5.23 (Cambridge, UK). Results: According to our research, the incidence of postoperative memory impairment is 30.1%. Temporary cerebral autoregulation impairment occurs in all patients undergoing elective in-pump CABG surgery. The duration of the single longest CA impairment event in seconds (LCAI) and the LCAI dose were higher in patients with postoperative memory impairment, p = 0.006 and p < 0.007, respectively. Conclusions: Cerebral autoregulation impairment is important in developing memory loss after cardiac surgery. The duration and dose of the LCAI event are predictive of postoperative memory impairment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite the high prevalence of cognitive impairment or dementia post-coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), the incidence of cognitive impairment or dementia post-CABG in contemporary practice is currently unclear. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the incidence and associated risk factors of cognitive impairment or dementia in patients' post-CABG. METHODS A systematic search across three databases (PubMed, SCOPUS, and Embase) was conducted for studies published in or after 2013 that reported cognitive impairment or dementia post-CABG. Subgroup analyses and meta-regression by risk factors were performed to determine their influence on the results. RESULTS This analysis included 23 studies with a total of 2,620 patients. The incidence of cognitive impairment or dementia less than 1 month, 2 to 6 months, and more than 12 months post-CABG was 35.96% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 28.22-44.51, I2 = 87%), 21.33% (95% CI: 13.44-32.15, I2 = 88%), and 39.13% (95% CI: 21.72-58.84, I2 = 84%), respectively. Meta-regression revealed that studies with more than 80% of the cohort diagnosed with hypertension were significantly associated with incidence of cognitive impairment or dementia less than 1 month post-CABG. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis demonstrates a high incidence of cognitive impairment or dementia in patients' post-CABG in contemporary practice, particularly less than 1 month post-CABG and more than 12 months post-CABG. We found that hypertension was a significant risk factor in the short-term (less than 1 month) follow-up period for cognitive impairment or dementia post-CABG. Future research should be done to assess strategies to reduce cognitive impairment post-CABG.

Abstract
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) autoregulation is the physiologic process whereby blood supply to the brain is kept constant over a range of cerebral perfusion pressures ensuring a constant supply of metabolic substrate. Clinical methods for monitoring CBF autoregulation were first developed for neurocritically ill patients and have been extended to surgical patients. These methods are based on measuring the relationship between cerebral perfusion pressure and surrogates of CBF or cerebral blood volume (CBV) at low frequencies (<0.05 Hz) of autoregulation using time or frequency domain analyses. Initially intracranial pressure monitoring or transcranial Doppler assessment of CBF velocity was utilised relative to changes in cerebral perfusion pressure or mean arterial pressure. A more clinically practical approach utilising filtered signals from near infrared spectroscopy monitors as an estimate of CBF has been validated. In contrast to the traditional teaching that 50 mm Hg is the autoregulation threshold, these investigations have found wide interindividual variability of the lower limit of autoregulation ranging from 40 to 90 mm Hg in adults and 20-55 mm Hg in children. Observational data have linked impaired CBF autoregulation metrics to adverse outcomes in patients with traumatic brain injury, ischaemic stroke, subarachnoid haemorrhage, intracerebral haemorrhage, and in surgical patients. CBF autoregulation monitoring has been described in both cardiac and noncardiac surgery. Data from a single-centre randomised study in adults found that targeting arterial pressure during cardiopulmonary bypass to above the lower limit of autoregulation led to a reduction of postoperative delirium and improved memory 1 month after surgery compared with usual care. Together, the growing body of evidence suggests that monitoring CBF autoregulation provides prognostic information on eventual patient outcomes and offers potential for therapeutic intervention. For surgical patients, personalised blood pressure management based on CBF autoregulation data holds promise as a strategy to improve patient neurocognitive outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative impairment of cerebral autoregulation (CA) has been associated with perioperative neurocognitive disorders. We investigated whether intraoperative fluctuations in cardiac index are associated with changes in CA. METHODS We conducted an integrative explorative secondary analysis of individual-level data from 2 prospective observational studies including patients scheduled for radical prostatectomy. We assessed cardiac index by pulse contour analysis and CA as the cerebral oxygenation index (COx) based on near-infrared spectroscopy. We analyzed (1) the cross-correlation between cardiac index and COx, (2) the correlation between the time-weighted average (TWA) of the cardiac index below 2.5 L min-1 m-2, and the TWA of COx above 0.3, and (3) the difference in areas between the cardiac index curve and the COx curve among various subgroups. RESULTS The final analysis included 155 patients. The median cardiac index was 3.16 [IQR: 2.65, 3.72] L min-1 m-2. Median COx was 0.23 [IQR: 0.12, 0.34]. (1) The median cross-correlation between cardiac index and COx was 0.230 [IQR: 0.186, 0.287]. (2) The correlation (Spearman ρ) between TWA of cardiac index below 2.5 L min-1 m-2 and TWA of COx above 0.3 was 0.095 (P=0.239). (3) Areas between the cardiac index curve and the COx curve did not differ significantly among subgroups (<65 vs. ≥65 y, P=0.903; 0 vs. ≥1 cardiovascular risk factors, P=0.518; arterial hypertension vs. none, P=0.822; open vs. robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, P=0.699). CONCLUSIONS We found no meaningful association between intraoperative fluctuations in cardiac index and CA. However, it is possible that a potential association was masked by the influence of anesthesia on CA.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is often used in cardiothoracic surgery because its nonphysiological state causes pathophysiological changes in the body, causing multiorgan and multitissue damage to varying degrees. Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common central nervous system complication after cardiac surgery. The etiology and mechanism of POCD are not clear. Neuroinflammation, brain mitochondrial dysfunction, cerebral embolism, ischemia, hypoxia, and other factors are related to the pathogenesis of POCD. There is a close relationship between CPB and POCD, as CPB can cause inflammation, hypoxia and reperfusion injury, and microemboli formation, all of which can trigger POCD. POCD increases medical costs, seriously affects patients' quality of life, and increases mortality. Currently, there is a lack of effective treatment methods for POCD. Commonly used methods include preoperative health management, reducing inflammation response during surgery, preventing microemboli formation, and implementing individualized rehabilitation programs after surgery. Strengthening preventive measures can minimize the occurrence of POCD and its adverse effects.

Abstract
We aimed to analyse postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) incidence and risk factors in elderly adults who underwent surgery for oral malignancies. A total of 112 elderly patients (aged ≥ 55 years) were selected for expanded resection of oral malignancy and cervical lymphatic dissection at our institution from December 2020 to December 2021. Participants were cognitively evaluated using the neuropsychological test scale 1 day before and 7 days after surgery to determine whether they had developed POCD. Based on whether POCD occurred 7 days after surgery, patients were classified into the POCD and non-POCD groups. Logistic regression was applied to perioperative factors to analyse the risk factors for POCD onset. Seven days after surgery for oral malignancy, there were 37 (33.1%) POCD morbidities. Multiple factor logistic regression analysis revealed that venerable age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.269, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.056-1.525, P < 0.05), low education levels (OR = 0.792, 95% CI 0.644-0.974, P < 0.05), hypertension (OR = 4.153, 95% CI 1.335-12.732, P < 0.05), dyssomnia (OR = 1.272, 95% CI 1.001-1.617, P < 0.05), prolonged anaesthesia (OR = 1.009, 95% CI 1.001-1.018, P < 0.05), and intraoperative hypotension (OR = 5.512, 95% CI 1.240-24.506, P < 0.05) increased the POCD risk in elderly patients who underwent surgery for oral malignancies. Venerable age, low knowledge reserve, hypertension, dyssomnia, prolonged anaesthesia, and intraoperative hypotension are independent risk factors for POCD in elderly patients with oral malignancies.

Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is common, occurring in around 10-54% of individuals within first few weeks after surgery. Although the majority of POCD is less commonly persistent later than 3 months following surgery, the condition increases length of stay (LOS), mortality and long-term cognitive decline, raising the need for a broad screening to identify individuals at risk for POCD during the perioperative period. In this narrative review, we summarize preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative risk factors for POCD reported in last 5 years and discuss neuropsychological tools and potential biomarkers and time points for assessment that might be suitable for clinical use. We aim to provide crucial information for developing a strategy of routine screening for POCD, which may assist with better identification of at-risk individuals for early interventions. Very importantly, the utilization of a standardized strategy may also allow higher consistency and comparability across different studies.

Abstract
Purpose To analyze the cerebrovascular autoregulation (CA) dynamics in patients with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) and high-tension glaucoma (HTG) as well as healthy subjects using noninvasive ultrasound technologies for the first time. Methods The CA status of 10 patients with NTG, 8 patients with HTG, and 10 healthy subjects was assessed, using an innovative noninvasive ultrasonic technique, based on intracranial blood volume slow-wave measurements. Identified in each participant were intraocular pressure, ocular perfusion pressure, and CA-related parameter volumetric reactivity index (VRx), as well as the duration and doses of the longest cerebral autoregulation impairment (LCAI). In addition, we calculated the associations of these parameters with patients' diagnoses. Results The VRx value, the LCAI dose, and duration in healthy subjects were significantly lower than in patients with NTG (P < 0.05). However, no significant differences were noted in these parameters between healthy subjects and HTG and between NTG and HTG groups. Conclusions NTG is associated with the disturbed cerebral blood flow and could be diagnosed by performing noninvasive CA assessments. Translational Relevance The VRx monitoring method can be applied to a wider range of patient groups, especially patients with normal-tension glaucoma.

Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction is extremely prevalent following cardiac surgery. The increasing patient age and comorbidity profile increases their susceptibility to cognitive impairment. The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms leading to cognitive impairment are not clearly elucidated. Using the contemporary literature (2015-present), this narrative review has three aims. Firstly, to provide an overview of postoperative cognitive impairment. Secondly, to analyse the predominant pathophysiological mechanisms leading to cognitive dysfunction following cardiac surgery such as inflammation, cerebral hypoperfusion, cerebral microemboli, glycaemic control and anaesthesia induced neurotoxicity. Lastly, to assess the current therapeutic strategies of interest to address these pathophysiological mechanisms, including the administration of dexamethasone, the prevention of prolonged cerebral desaturations and the monitoring of cerebral perfusion using near-infrared spectroscopy, surgical management strategies to reduce the neurological effects of microemboli, intraoperative glycaemic control strategies, the effect of volatile vs. intravenous anaesthesia, and the efficacy of dexmedetomidine.

Targeted temperature management in cardiac surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis on postoperative cognitive outcomes. Br J Anaesth 2021; 128:11-25.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative cognitive decline occurs commonly after cardiac surgery. The available literature is inconclusive on the role of intraoperative causal or protective factors. METHODS We systematically reviewed studies evaluating delayed neurocognitive recovery (DNR), postoperative neurocognitive disorder (NCD), stroke, and the mortality rates among patients undergoing hypothermic or normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We further performed a subgroup analysis for age, surgery type (coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG], valve surgery, or combined), and the mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) during CPB, and conducted a proportion meta-analysis after calculation of single proportions and confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS We included a total of 58 studies with 9609 patients in our analysis. Among these, 1906 of 4010 patients (47.5%) had DNR, and 2071 of 7160 (28.9%) had postoperative NCD. Ninety of 4625 patients (2.0%) had a stroke, and 174 of 7589 (2.3%) died. There was no statistically significant relationship between the considered variables and DNR, NCD, stroke, and mortality. In the subgroup analysis comparing hypothermic with normothermic CPB, we found higher NCD rates after combined surgery; for normothermic CPB cases only, the rates of DNR and NCD were lower after combined surgery compared with CABG surgery. A MAP >70 mm Hg compared with MAP=50-70 mm Hg during CPB was associated with a lower rate of DNR. CONCLUSIONS Temperature, MAP during cardiopulmonary bypass age, and surgery type were not associated with neurocognitive disorders, stroke, and mortality in cardiac surgery. Normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass, particularly when performed with MAP >70 mm Hg, may reduce the risk of postoperative neurocognitive decline after cardiac surgery.

Intraoperative impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation and delayed neurocognitive recovery after major oncologic surgery: a secondary analysis of pooled data. J Clin Monit Comput 2021; 36:765-773. [PMID: 33860406 PMCID: PMC9162974 DOI: 10.1007/s10877-021-00706-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Accepted: 04/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Cerebral blood flow is tightly regulated by cerebrovascular autoregulation (CVA), and intraoperative impairment of CVA has been linked with perioperative neurocognitive disorders. We aim to assess whether impairment of CVA during major oncologic surgery is associated with delayed neurocognitive recovery (DNCR) postoperatively. We performed a secondary analysis of prospectively collected data. Patients were included if they had undergone complete pre- and postoperative neuropsychological assessments, continuous intraoperative measurement of CVA, and major oncologic surgery for visceral, urological, or gynecological cancer. Intraoperative CVA was measured using the time-correlation method based on near-infrared-spectroscopy, and DNCR was assessed with a neuropsychological test battery. A decline in cognitive function before hospital discharge compared with a preoperative baseline assessment was defined as DNCR. One hundred ninety-five patients were included in the analysis. The median age of the study population was 65 years (IQR: 60–68); 11 patients (5.6%) were female. Forty-one patients (21.0%) fulfilled the criteria for DNCR in the early postoperative period. We found a significant association between impaired intraoperative CVA and DNCR before hospital discharge (OR = 1.042 [95% CI: 1.005; 1.080], p = 0.028). The type of surgery (radical prostatectomy vs. other major oncologic surgery; OR = 0.269 [95% CI: 0.099; 0.728], p = 0.010) and premedication with midazolam (OR = 3.360 [95% CI: 1.039; 10.870], p = 0.043) were significantly associated with the occurrence of DNCR in the early postoperative period. Intraoperative impairment of CVA is associated with postoperative neurocognitive function early after oncologic surgery. Therefore, intraoperative monitoring of CVA may be a target for neuroprotective interventions. The initial studies were retrospectively registered with primary clinical trial registries recognized by the World Health Organization (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifiers: DRKS00010014, 21.03.2016 and NCT04101006, 24.07.2019).

Mol Med Rep 2021; 23:293. [PMID: 33649775 PMCID: PMC7931006 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2021.11933] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2020] [Accepted: 12/29/2020] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common complication following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). U50488H, a κ‑opioid receptor (KOR) agonist, can specifically activate KORs on hippocampal nerve cells, resulting in neuroprotective effects. The present study established a CPB rat model, observed the protective effect of U50488H on CPB‑induced POCD and brain damage and explored the regulatory mechanism of the PI3K/AKT/nuclear factor erythroid 2‑related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase (HO)‑1 pathway. Sprague‑Dawley rats were divided into the following groups: Sham operation (Sham group), CPB (CPB group), KOR agonist (U50488H) + CPB (U50488H group), CPB + U50488H + HO‑1 antagonist (ZnPP‑IX; ZnPP group) and CPB + U50488H + PI3K antagonist (LY294002; LY294002 group), with 10 rats in each group. Neurological scores and the Morris water maze test were used to evaluate cognitive function; hematoxylin and eosin and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assays were performed to observe hippocampal neuron damage in rats. Immunofluorescence was used to detect reactive oxygen species, glial fibrillary acidic protein and Nrf2 expression in the hippocampus. Enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assays were used to detect inflammatory and oxidative stress factors. Western blotting was used to examine the expression of PI3K/AKT/Nrf2/HO‑1‑related proteins. It was demonstrated that U50488H significantly reduced the neural function score of rats with POCD induced by CPB, relieved cognitive dysfunction, reduced hippocampal neuron damage, inhibited the rate of apoptosis, repaired oxidative stress injury and protected against brain damage caused by CPB. In addition, U50488H could promote Nrf2 entry into the nucleus and upregulate HO‑1 and thioredoxin 1 (Trx1) expression. In CPB rats treated with PI3K inhibitors, less Nrf2 was detected in the nucleus and HO‑1 and Trx‑1 expression levels were reduced in the nucleus. Therefore, U50488H, a KOR agonist, can activate Nrf2/HO‑1 via the PI3K/AKT pathway to improve cognitive function and reduce brain damage in CPB rats.

Can the Treatment of Normal-Pressure Hydrocephalus Induce Normal-Tension Glaucoma? A Narrative Review of a Current Knowledge. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2021; 57:medicina57030234. [PMID: 33802375 PMCID: PMC7999145 DOI: 10.3390/medicina57030234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2021] [Revised: 02/25/2021] [Accepted: 02/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement is the most commonly used treatment of normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). It has been hypothesized that normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) is caused by the treatment of NPH by using the shunt to reduce intracranial pressure (ICP). The aim of this study is to review the literature published regarding this hypothesis and to emphasize the need for neuro-ophthalmic follow-up for the concerned patients. The source literature was selected from the results of an online PubMed search, using the keywords "hydrocephalus glaucoma" and "normal-tension glaucoma shunt". One prospective study on adults, one prospective study on children, two retrospective studies on adults and children, two case reports, three review papers including medical hypotheses, and one prospective study on monkeys were identified. Hypothesis about the association between the treatment of NPH using the shunt to reduce ICP and the development of NTG were supported in all reviewed papers. This suggests that a safe lower limit of ICP for neurological patients, especially shunt-treated NPH patients, should be kept. Thus, we proposed to modify the paradigm of safe upper ICP threshold recommended in neurosurgery and neurology into the paradigm of safe ICP corridor applicable in neurology and ophthalmology, especially for shunt-treated hydrocephalic and glaucoma patients.

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.

Abstract
This is a comparative study of two novel noninvasive cerebrovascular autoregulation (CA) monitoring methods based on intracranial blood volume (IBV) changes in the human brain. We investigated the clinical applicability of the new volumetric reactivity index (VRx2), reflected by intracranial ultrasonic attenuation dynamics for noninvasive CA monitoring. The CA was determined noninvasively on 43 healthy participants by calculating the volumetric reactivity index (VRx1 from time-of-flight of ultrasound, VRx2 from attenuation of ultrasound). The VRx was calculated as a moving correlation coefficient between the arterial blood pressure and noninvasively measured IBV slow waves. Linear regression between VRx1 and VRx2 (averaged per participants) showed a significant correlation (r = 0.731, p < 0.0001, 95% confidence interval [0.501–0.895]) in data filtered by bandpass filtering. On the other hand, FIR filtering demonstrated a slightly better correlation (r = 0.769, p < 0.0001, 95% confidence interval [0.611–0.909]). The standard deviation of the difference by bandpass filtering was 0.1647 and bias −0.3444; and by FIR filtering 0.1382 and bias −0.3669. This comparative study showed a significant coincidence of the VRx2 index compared to that of VRx1. Hence, VRx2 could be used as an alternative, cost-effective noninvasive cerebrovascular autoregulation index in the same way as VRx1 values are used.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the association between the cerebral autoregulation (CA) index, the pressure reactivity index (PRx), the patient’s clinical outcome, and the quality of arterial blood pressure (ABP(t)) and intracranial blood pressure (ICP(t)) signals by comparing two filtering methods to derive the PRx. Materials and Methods: Data from 60 traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients were collected. Moving averaging and FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filtering were performed on the ABP(t) and ICP(t) signals, and the PRx was estimated from both filtered datasets. Sensitivity, specificity, and receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves with the area under the curves (AUCs) were determined using patient outcomes as a reference. The outcome chosen for comparison among the two filtering methods were mortality and survival. Results: The FIR filtering approach, compared with clinical outcome, had a sensitivity of 70%, a specificity of 81%, and a level of significance p = 0.001 with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.78. The moving average filtering method compared with the clinical outcome had a sensitivity of 58%, a specificity of 72%, and a level of significance p = 0.054, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.66. Conclusions: The FIR (optimal) filtering approach was found to be more sensitive for discriminating between two clinical outcomes, namely intact (survival) and impaired (death) cerebral autoregulation for TBI treatment decision making.

Abstract
The growing number of publications concerning postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) after cardiac surgery is indicative of the health-related and economic-related importance of this intriguing issue. Significantly, the reported POCD incidence over the years has remained steady due to various unresolved challenges regarding the examination of this multidisciplinary topic. In particular, a universally accepted POCD definition has not been established, and the pathogenesis is still vaguely understood. However, numerous recent studies have focused on the role of the inflammatory response to a surgical procedure in POCD occurrence. Therefore, this traditional narrative review summarizes and evaluates the latest findings, with special attention paid to the difficulties of defining POCD as well as the involvement of inflammation in POCD development. We searched the MEDLINE, Scopus, PsycINFO and CENTRAL databases for the best evidence, which was classified according to the Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine. To our knowledge, this is the first narrative review that identified class-1 evidence (systematic review of randomized trials), although most evidence is still at class-2 or below. Furthermore, we revealed that defining POCD is a very controversial matter and that the inflammatory response plays an important role in the mutually overlapping processes included in POCD development.
