Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative neurocognitive disorders (PNDs) frequently occur following orthopedic surgery and are closely associated with adverse prognosis. PNDs are an emerging concept that includes both postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and postoperative delirium (POD). The prevention of combined use of peripheral nerve block (PNB) and general anesthesia (GA) on POCD and/or POD incidence following orthopedic surgery remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the effect of this combined anesthesia method on POCD/POD incidence after orthopedic surgery, compared with GA. METHODS The databases of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase via Ovid, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for all available randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The incidence of POD/POCD was the primary outcome. Continuous and dichotomous outcomes are represented as standardized mean differences [SMD, 95% confidence interval (CI)] and risk ratios [RR, 95%CI], respectively. RESULTS Meta-analysis of twelve RCTs with a total of 1488 patients revealed that compared with GA, PNB plus GA decreased the incidence of POCD (RR: 0.58, 95%CI: 0.35 to 0.95, P = 0.03, I2 = 0%), while the incidence of POD had no significant difference (RR: 0.87, 95%CI: 0.54 to 1.40, P = 0.57, I2 = 67%). Compared with GA alone, a significant decrease of intraoperative and postoperative opioid consumption (SMD: -1.54, 95%CI: -2.26 to -0.82, P < 0.0001, I2 = 89%; SMD: -7.00, 95%CI: -9.89 to -4.11, P < 0.00001, I2 = 99%) and postoperative nausea and vomiting incidence (RR: 0.16, 95%CI: 0.06 to 0.44, P = 0.0004, I2 = 0%) was found with PNB plus GA. CONCLUSIONS The combined use of PNB and GA decreases the incidence of POCD but not POD following orthopedic surgery. TRIAL REGISTRATION The protocol of this study was registered with PROSPERO (Registration Number: CRD42022366454).

Abstract
Background Falls after orthopaedic surgery can cause serious injuries, which lengthen hospital stays and increase medical expenses. This has prompted hospitals to implement various fall-prevention protocols. The aims of this study were to determine the incidence of in-hospital falls after spine surgery, to analyze the overall risk factors, to discern factors that have a major influence on falls, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the fall-prevention protocol that we implemented. Methods This was a retrospective, single-center study including patients who underwent spine surgery from January 2011 to November 2021 at the National Health Insurance Service Ilsan Hospital (NHISIH) in Goyang, Republic of Korea. Reported falls among these patients were examined. Patient demographics; surgery type, date, and diagnosis; and fall date and time were evaluated. Results Overall, 5,317 spine surgeries were performed, and 128 in-hospital falls were reported (overall incidence: 2.31%). From the multivariable analyses, older age and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score were identified as independent risk factors for in-hospital patient falls (multivariable adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] for age 70 to 79 years, 1.021 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01 to 1.031]; for age ≥80 years, 1.035 [1.01 to 1.06]; and for ASA score of 3, 1.02 [1.01 to 1.031]). Similar results were seen in the subgroup who underwent primary surgery. Within 2 weeks following surgery, the highest frequency of falls occurred at 3 to 7 days postoperatively. The lowest fall rate was observed in the evening (6 to 10 p.m.). Morbidities, including rib, spine, and extremity fractures, were recorded for 14 patients, but none of these patients underwent operative treatment related to the fall. The NHISIH implemented a comprehensive nursing care service in May 2015 and a fall protocol in May 2017, but the annual incidence rate did not improve. The fall rate was higher after thoracolumbar surgeries (2.47%) than after cervical surgeries (1.20%). Moreover, a higher fall rate was observed in thoracolumbar cases with a greater number of fusion levels and revision spine surgeries. Conclusions Patients with advanced age, more comorbidities, a greater number of fusion levels, and revision surgeries and who are female are more vulnerable to in-hospital falls after spine surgery. Novel strategies that target these risk factors are warranted. Level of Evidence Prognostic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

The role of perioperative sedative anesthetics in preventing postoperative delirium: a systematic review and network-meta analysis including 6679 patients. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2024; 24:147. [PMID: 38448835 PMCID: PMC10916082 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-024-03783-5] [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: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Postoperative delirium is a common and debilitating complication that significantly affects patients and their families. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is an effective sedative that can prevent postoperative delirium while also examining the safety of using sedatives during the perioperative period. METHODS The net-meta analysis was used to compare the incidence of postoperative delirium among four sedatives: sevoflurane, propofol, dexmedetomidine, and midazolam. Interventions were ranked according to their surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA). RESULTS A total of 41 RCT studies involving 6679 patients were analyzed. Dexmedetomidine can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium than propofol (OR 0.47 95% CI 0.25-0.90), midazolam (OR 0.42 95% CI 0.17-1.00), normal saline (OR 0.42 95% CI 0.33-0.54) and sevoflurane (OR 0.39 95% CI 0.18-0.82). The saline group showed a significantly lower incidence of bradycardia compared to the group receiving dexmedetomidine (OR 0.55 95% CI 0.37-0.80). In cardiac surgery, midazolam (OR 3.34 95%CI 2.04-5.48) and normal saline (OR 2.27 95%CI 1.17-4.39) had a higher rate of postoperative delirium than dexmedetomidine, while in non-cardiac surgery, normal saline (OR 1.98 95%CI 1.44-2.71) was more susceptible to postoperative delirium than dexmedetomidine. CONCLUSION Our analysis suggests that dexmedetomidine is an effective sedative in preventing postoperative delirium whether in cardiac surgery or non-cardiac surgery. The preventive effect of dexmedetomidine on postoperative delirium becomes more apparent with longer surgical and extubation times. However, it should be administered with caution as it was found to be associated with bradycardia.

Risk factors of postoperative delirium following spine surgery: A meta-analysis of 50 cohort studies with 1.1 million participants. Heliyon 2024; 10:e24967. [PMID: 38322910 PMCID: PMC10844026 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives Postoperative delirium (POD) is considered to be a common complication of spine surgery. Although many studies have reported the risk factors associated with POD, the results remain unclear. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to identify risk factors for POD among patients following spinal surgery. Methods We systematically searched the PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library for relevant articles published from 2006 to February 1, 2023 that reported risk factors associated with the incidence of POD among patients undergoing spinal surgery. The Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines were followed, and random effects models were used to estimate pooled odds ratio (OR) estimates with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) for each factor. The evidence from observational studies was classified according to Egger's P value, total sample size, and heterogeneity between studies. Results Of 11,329 citations screened, 50 cohort studies involving 1,182,719 participants met the inclusion criteria. High-quality evidence indicated that POD was associated with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, older age (>65 years), patients experiencing substance use disorder (take drug ≥1 month), cerebrovascular disease, kidney disease, neurological disorder, parkinsonism, cervical surgery, surgical site infection, postoperative fever, postoperative urinary tract infection, and admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Moderate-quality evidence indicated that POD was associated with depression, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) fitness grade (>II), blood transfusion, abnormal potassium, electrolyte disorder, length of stay, inability to ambulate and intravenous fluid volume. Conclusions Conspicuous risk factors for POD were mainly patient- and surgery-related. These findings help clinicians identify high-risk patients with POD following spinal surgery and recognize the importance of early intervention.

[PMID: 37374256 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59061052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 05/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023]
Abstract
Background: Delirium is an acute and typically reversible failure of essential cognitive and attentional functions and is a growing public health concern, with an incidence of 20-50% in patients older than 65 after major surgery and 61% in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. Numerous treatment strategies have been examined with no conclusive results. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of a three-day low-dose risperidone treatment protocol, 0.5 mg BID, in treating delirium in elderly hospitalized orthopedic surgery department patients. Methods: This study is a prospective non-randomized study involving the senior patient population, older than 65, in an Orthopedic Surgery Department in 2019 and 2020. Delirium was diagnosed by a confusion assessment method (CAM) questionnaire. A three-day 0.5 mg risperidone BID treatment protocol was initiated following diagnosis. Patient data collected included age, gender, chronic diseases, type of surgery and anesthesia and delirium characteristics. Results: The delirium study group included 47 patients with an average age of 84.4 years (±8.6), of whom 53.2% were females. Delirium incidence was 3.7% in all patients older than 65 (1759 patients) and 9.3% in the proximal femoral fracture group. We did not correlate electrolyte imbalance, anemia, polypharmacy and chronic diseases to delirium onset characteristics. Following the three-day low-dose risperidone treatment protocol, 0.5 mg BID, 14.9% of the patients showed CAM score normalization after one day of treatment, and 93.6% within two days. Conclusions: We found our rigid three-day low-dose risperidone treatment protocol, 0.5 mg BID, efficacious in fast delirium resolution, without side effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common and severe complication in elderly hip-arthroplasty patients. AIM This study aims to develop and validate a machine learning (ML) model that determines essential features related to POD and predicts POD for elderly hip-arthroplasty patients. METHODS The electronic record data of elderly patients who received hip-arthroplasty surgery between January 2017 and April 2021 were enrolled as the dataset. The Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) was administered to the patients during their perioperative period. The feature section method was employed as a filter to determine leading features. The classical machine learning algorithms were trained in cross-validation processing, and the model with the best performance was built in predicting the POD. Metrics of the area under the curve (AUC), accuracy (ACC), sensitivity, specificity, and F1-score were calculated to evaluate the predictive performance. RESULTS 476 Arthroplasty elderly patients with general anesthesia were included in this study, and the final model combined feature selection method mutual information (MI) and linear binary classifier using logistic regression (LR) achieved an encouraging performance (AUC = 0.94, ACC = 0.88, sensitivity = 0.85, specificity = 0.90, F1-score = 0.87) on a balanced test dataset. CONCLUSION The model could predict POD with satisfying accuracy and reveal important features of suffering POD such as age, Cystatin C, GFR, CHE, CRP, LDH, monocyte count, history of mental illness or psychotropic drug use and intraoperative blood loss. Proper preoperative interventions for these factors could reduce the incidence of POD among elderly patients.

Abstract
Delirium, an acute brain dysfunction, is a common and serious complication in burn patients. The occurrence of delirium increases the difficulty of patient treatment, is associated with various adverse outcomes, and increases the burden on the patient's family. Many scholars have studied the factors that cause delirium, but the causes, pathogenesis, and treatment of delirium in burn patients have not been fully revealed. There is no effective pharmacological treatment for delirium, but active preventive measures can effectively reduce the incidence of delirium in burn patients. Therefore, it is necessary to study the relevant factors affecting the occurrence of delirium in burn patients. This study was conducted on December 20, 2021 by searching the PubMed database for a narrative review of published studies. The search strategy included keywords related to "burns," "delirium," and "risk factors." We reviewed the characteristics of delirium occurrence in burn patients and various delirium assessment tools, and summarized the risk factors for the development of delirium in burn patients in terms of personal, clinical, and environmental factors, and we found that although many risk factors act on the development of delirium in burn patients, some of them, such as clinical and environmental factors, are modifiable, suggesting that we can estimate the exposure of burn patients to risk factors by assessing their likelihood of delirium occurring and to make targeted interventions that provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of burn delirium.

Abstract
Background Immediate postoperative delirium (IPD) in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) can cause significant morbidity affecting everyday activities and length of stay with cost implications. This study was undertaken to find the proportion of IPD in PACU and its association with anesthesia and other perioperative factors. Methods After obtaining ethical approval and informed consent, this cross-sectional study was conducted in the PACU. A total of 600 consecutive adult patients (American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 1-3) posted for surgery were approached between January and March 2019, of which 402 patients without neurological diseases and language and hearing discrepancies were studied. All patients had the intervention of surgery under anesthesia in a usual manner. Delirium was assessed preoperatively, postoperatively at 15 and 30 minutes, and before discharge from the PACU. IPD was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) score, while sedation/agitation was assessed using the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS). The primary outcomes were the proportion of IPD, association with anesthesia, and perioperative risk factors. The secondary outcomes were the length of stay, delirium treatment, and mortality. Results Overall, the IPD proportion was 14.7%. A significant association was demonstrated with premedication with midazolam (odds ration (OR): 3.2; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.42-7.35; P=0.003), general anesthesia (GA) (OR: 6.3; 95% CI: 2.23-17.8; P<0.001), duration of anesthesia (126 versus 95 minutes; P=0.001), laparoscopic mode of surgical access (OR: 3.4; 95% CI: 1.8-6.4; P<0.001), and postoperative RASS >/< 0 (OR: 10.6; 95% CI: 4.69-24.11; P<0.001) at 30 minutes and before discharge from the PACU. Multivariate analysis showed the strongest association of RASS at 30 minutes with IPD. Conclusion The proportion of IPD was found to be 14.7% in this study, and the chances of developing IPD are high if the patient is not awake and calm in the PACU, especially if midazolam is administered as premedication, followed by general anesthesia (GA) for a long duration.

The effect of melatonin on prevention of postoperative delirium after lower limb fracture surgery in elderly patients: a randomized double blind clinical trial. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BURNS AND TRAUMA 2022; 12:161-167. [PMID: 36160675 PMCID: PMC9490153] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2021] [Accepted: 07/05/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative delirium is a common complication with a high morbidity rate. This study was designed to consider the effectiveness of melatonin in prevention and treatment of postoperative delirium. METHODS Seventy-two patients aged >60 years old with Abbreviated Mental Test (AMT) >8 scheduled for orthopedic surgery under spinal anesthesia, were randomly distributed equally to melatonin or placebo groups. In the melatonin group, the patients were given 5 mg melatonin capsules orally the night before surgery, the night of the operation, and two nights after the surgical operation at 9 pm. Likewise, in the placebo group, the patients received placebo in the same times. For diagnosis of postoperative delirium, the AMT test was used before the operation and three days after that. The Generalized estimating equations model (GEE) with logit link to Multivariate analysis was used in the study and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS In total, 72 patients completed the study. Thirty-three patients (45.8%) were male with a mean (SD) age 71.4 (3.6) years. On the first day after the surgery, the incidence of delirium was significantly lower in the melatonin group compared to the placebo group (22.2% vs. 44.4%, P=0.046). On the second and third days after the surgery, the level of delirium in the melatonin group was also significantly lower than that in the placebo one. The GEE model showed a significant interaction between time and treatment groups. CONCLUSION The findings of the study showed that melatonin prevented delirium after the orthopedic surgeries in the elderly patients and could be useful for the patients as such.

The Influence of Orthopedic Surgery on Circulating Metabolite Levels, and their Associations with the Incidence of Postoperative Delirium. Metabolites 2022; 12:616. [PMID: 35888740 PMCID: PMC9319890 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12070616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Revised: 06/15/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
The mechanisms underlying the occurrence of postoperative delirium development are unclear and measurement of plasma metabolites may improve understanding of its causes. Participants (n = 54) matched for age and gender were sampled from an observational cohort study investigating postoperative delirium. Participants were ≥65 years without a diagnosis of dementia and presented for primary elective hip or knee arthroplasty. Plasma samples collected pre- and postoperatively were grouped as either control (n = 26, aged: 75.8 ± 5.2) or delirium (n = 28, aged: 76.2 ± 5.7). Widespread changes in plasma metabolite levels occurred following surgery. The only metabolites significantly differing between corresponding control and delirium samples were ornithine and spermine. In delirium cases, ornithine was 17.6% higher preoperatively, and spermine was 12.0% higher postoperatively. Changes were not associated with various perioperative factors. In binary logistic regression modeling, these two metabolites did not confer a significantly increased risk of delirium. These findings support the hypothesis that disturbed polyamine metabolism is an underlying factor in delirium that warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Background Postoperative delirium (POD) commonly occurs in patients following major surgeries and is associated with adverse prognosis. The modes of anesthesia may be associated with POD occurrence. General anesthesia (GA) causes loss of consciousness in the patient by altering the levels of some neurotransmitters as well as signaling pathways. We conducted this meta-analysis to investigate the effect of GA vs. regional anesthesia (RA) on POD incidence in surgical patients. Methods The databases of Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched till October 22, 2021. The eligible criteria were participants aged 18 years or older, patients undergoing surgery under GA and RA, and articles reporting the effect of GA vs. RA on POD incidence. RevMan 5.3 was used to perform statistical analyses. Results A total of 21 relevant trials with a total of 1,702,151 patients were included. The pooled result using random-effects model with OR demonstrated significant difference in POD incidence between patients with GA and RA (OR = 1.15, 95% CI: [1.02, 1.31], I2 = 83%, p for effect = 0.02). We did not obtain the consistent pooled result after sensitivity analysis (OR = 0.95, 95% CI: [0.83, 1.08], I2 =13%, p for effect = 0.44) and excluded the articles without the information on preoperative cognitive or neuropsychological assessment (OR = 1.12, 95% CI: [1.00, 1.25], I2 =80%, p for effect = 0.05), respectively. Conclusion This meta-analysis could not identify that GA was significantly associated with POD occurrence in surgical patients compared with RA.

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
Despite the increasing prevalence of spinal surgery in super-elderly (SE) patients, the outcomes and complication rates have not been fully elucidated. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes and complications of lumbar spinal fusion for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) in SE patients aged 80 years and over with those in patients aged 65 years and over, and under 80 years.This study analyzed 160 patients who underwent spinal fusion for DLSS between January 2011 and November 2019. Thirty patients in the SE group (group SE, ≥80 years) and 130 patients in the elderly group (group E, ≥65 years and <80 years) were enrolled. The performance status was evaluated by preoperative American society of anesthesiologists (ASA) score. Visual analog scales for back pain (VAS-BP) and leg pain (VAS-LP), and Korean Oswestry disability index (K-ODI) were used to assess clinical outcomes preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively. Percent changes of VAS-BP, VAS-LP and K-ODI were also analyzed. Fusion rates were evaluated by computed tomography 6 months and 1 year postoperatively. Furthermore, bone mineral density, operative time, estimated blood loss, blood transfusion, hospital days, hospitalization in intensive care unit and postoperative complications were compared.The average age of group SE was 82.0 years and that of group E was 71.6 years. There were no differences in preoperative ASA score, preoperative or postoperative VAS BP and VAS-LP, bone mineral density, operative time, estimated blood loss, blood transfusion, hospital days, hospitalization in intensive care unit and fusion rates between the groups. Preoperative and postoperative K-ODI were higher in group SE than group E (all P < .05). However, percent changes of VAS-BP, VAS-LP and K-ODI showed no significant differences. Overall early and late complications were not significantly different between the groups; however postoperative delirium was more common in group SE than group E (P = .027). SE status was the only risk factor for postoperative delirium with odds ratio of 3.4 (P = .018).Spinal fusion surgery is considerable treatment to improve the quality of life of SE patients with DLSS, however careful perioperative management is needed to prevent postoperative delirium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A total of 4.5-41.2% of orthopedic surgery patients experience delirium. Until now, no formal systematic review or meta-analysis was performed to summarize the risk factors of delirium after orthopedic surgery. AIMS The present study aimed to comprehensively and quantitatively conclude the risk factors of delirium after orthopedic surgery in elderly patients. METHODS A search was applied to Medline, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Embase, and Cochrane central database (all up to February 2020). All studies on the risk factors of delirium after orthopedic surgery in elderly patients without language restriction were reviewed, and qualities of included studies were assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Data were pooled and a meta-analysis was completed. RESULTS A total of 15 studies altogether included 10,053 patients with orthopedic surgery, 825 cases of delirium occurred after surgery, suggesting the accumulated incidence of 8.2%. Results of meta-analyses showed that age > 70 years (odds ratio (OR) 3.78, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.97-4.80), advanced age (standardized mean difference 0.82, 95% CI 0.54-1.09), male sex (OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.13-2.79), medical comorbidities (OR 2.18, 95% CI 1.23-3.88), malnutrition (OR 3.10, 95% CI 2.19-4.38), preoperative and postoperative haemoglobin (SMD - 0.37, 95% CI - 0.54 to - 0.19; SMD - 0.33, 95% CI - 0.55 to - 0.11), postoperative sodium (SMD - 0.52, 95% CI - 0.74 to - 0.29) and longer hospitalization after surgery (SMD 0.27, 95% CI 0.11-0.43), hearing impairment (OR 2.78, 95% CI 1.98-3.90), multiple medications (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.21-1.52), psychotic drugs(OR 4.27, 95% CI 1.37-13.24), morphine (OR 1.97, 95% CI 1.11-3.51), cognitive impairment (OR 2.72, 95% CI 1.96-3.78), length of stay (SMD 0.26, 95% CI 0.14-0.39) and hip surgery (OR 1.63, 95% CI 1.08-2.48) were more likely to sustain delirium after hip surgery in elderly patients. ASA I and II was less likely to develop delirium after orthopedic surgery (OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.34-0.79). CONCLUSIONS Related prophylaxis strategies should be implemented in the elderly involved with above-mentioned risk factors to prevent delirium after orthopedic surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The interaction between delirium and dementia is complex. We examined if Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers in patients without clinical dementia are associated with increased risk of postoperative delirium, and whether AD biomarkers demonstrate a graded association with delirium severity. METHODS Participants (n = 59) were free of clinical dementia, age ≥ 70 years, and scheduled for elective total knee or hip arthroplasties. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was collected at the time of induction for spinal anesthesia. CSF AD biomarkers were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (ADX/Euroimmun); cut points for amyloid, tau, and neurodegeneration (ATN) biomarker status were A = amyloid beta (Aβ)42 <175 pg/mL or Aβ42/40 ratio <0.07; T = p-tau >80 pg/mL; and N = t-tau >700 pg/mL. Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) and CAM-Severity (CAM-S) were rated daily post-operatively for delirium and delirium severity, respectively. RESULTS Aβ42, tau, and p-tau mean pg/mL (SD) were 361.5 (326.1), 618.3 (237.1), and 97.1 (66.1), respectively, for those with delirium, and 550.4 (291.6), 518.3 (213.5), and 54.6 (34.5), respectively, for those without delirium. Thirteen participants (22%) were ATN positive. Delirium severity by peak CAM-S [mean difference (95% confidence interval)] was 1.48 points higher (0.29-2.67), P = 0.02 among the ATN positive. Delirium in the ATN-positive group trended toward but did not reach statistical significance (23% vs. 7%, p = 0.10). Peak CAM-S [mean (SD)] in the delirium group was 7 (2.8) compared to no delirium group 2.5 (1.3), but when groups were further classified by ATN status, an incremental effect on delirium severity was observed, such that patients who were both ATN and delirium negative had the lowest mean (SD) peak CAM-S scores of 2.5 (1.3) points, whereas those who were ATN and delirium positive had CAM-S scores of 8.7 (2.3) points; other groups (either ATN or delirium positive) had intermediate CAM-S scores. DISCUSSION The presence of AD biomarkers adds important information in predicting delirium severity. Future studies are needed to confirm this relationship and to better understand the role of AD biomarkers, even in pre-clinical phase, in delirium.

Preoperative anxiety predicted the incidence of postoperative delirium in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty: a prospective cohort study. BMC Anesthesiol 2021; 21:48. [PMID: 33579195 PMCID: PMC7879687 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-021-01271-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2020] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Delirium was characterized with a series of symptoms of a sudden onset of disturbances in attention, a loss in memory loss and defects in other cognitive abilities that were also appeared in the syndrome of anxiety. Even though there are overlapped clinical symptoms existed in anxiety and delirium, the relationship between anxiety and delirium was still unclear. The propose of this study was to investigated the effect of preoperative anxiety on postoperative delirium. Methods Three hundred and seventy-two adults undergoing total hip arthroplasty were enrolled from October 2019 to May 2020 in the study. The preoperative anxiety was measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety (HADS-A). The participants were allocated into anxiety group (HADS-A≧7) and non-anxiety group (HADS-A < 7). The primary outcome was the incidence of the postoperative delirium assessed with the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM). The secondary outcomes were the duration and the severity of delirium evaluated with the Memorial Delirium assessment Scale (MDAS). The risks of delirium were also evaluated with logistic regression analysis. Results There were 325 patients enrolled in the end, 95 of whom met the criteria for anxiety. The incidence of delirium was 17.8% in all participants. The patients with anxiety had a higher incidence of delirium than the non-anxiety patients (25.3% vs. 14.8%, odds ratio (OR) = 0.51, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.92–0.29, p = 0.025). However, no significant differences were found in the duration and the severity of the delirium between the above two groups. The age, alcohol abuse, history of stroke, scores of the HADS-A, and education level were considered to be predictors of delirium. Conclusions The preoperative anxiety predicted the incidence of the postoperative delirium in total hip arthroplasty patients. The related intervention may be a good point for delirium prophylaxis. Trial registration It was registered at Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (www.chictr.org.cn) with the name of “the effect of preoperative anxiety on the postoperative cognitive function” (ChiCTR1900026054) at September 19, 2019.

Effects of Ramelteon on the Prevention of Postoperative Delirium in Older Patients Undergoing Orthopedic Surgery: The RECOVER Randomized Controlled Trial. Am J Geriatr Psychiatry 2021; 29:90-100. [PMID: 32532654 PMCID: PMC8809889 DOI: 10.1016/j.jagp.2020.05.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2020] [Revised: 05/07/2020] [Accepted: 05/08/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Postoperative delirium, associated with negative consequences including longer hospital stays and worse cognitive and physical outcomes, is frequently accompanied by sleep-wake disturbance. Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy and short-term safety of ramelteon, a melatonin receptor agonist, for the prevention of postoperative delirium in older patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. DESIGN A quadruple-masked randomized placebo-controlled trial (Clinical Trials.gov NCT02324153) conducted from March 2017 to June 2019. SETTING Tertiary academic medical center. PARTICIPANTS Patients aged 65 years or older, undergoing elective primary or revision hip or knee replacement. INTERVENTION Ramelteon (8 mg) or placebo MEASUREMENTS: Eighty participants were randomized to an oral gel cap of ramelteon or placebo for 3 consecutive nights starting the night before surgery. Trained research staff conducted delirium assessments for 3 consecutive days starting on postoperative day (POD) 0, after recovery from anesthesia, and on to POD2. A delirium diagnosis was based upon DSM-5 criteria determined by expert panel consensus. RESULTS Of 80 participants, five withdrew consent (one placebo, four ramelteon) and four were excluded (four ramelteon) after randomization. Delirium incidence during the 2 days following surgery was 7% (5 of 71) with no difference between the ramelteon versus placebo: 9% (3 of 33) and 5% (2 of 38), respectively. The adjusted odds ratio for postoperative delirium as a function of assignment to the ramelteon treatment arm was 1.28 (95% confidence interval: 0.21-7.93; z-value 0.27; p-value = 0.79). Adverse events were similar between the two groups. CONCLUSION In older patients undergoing elective primary or revision hip or knee replacement, ramelteon was not efficacious in preventing postoperative delirium.

Comparison of Combined Lumbosacral Plexus and T12 Paravertebral Nerve Blocks With General Anesthesia in Older Adults Undergoing Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Retrospective, Propensity Score-Matched Cohort Study. Geriatr Orthop Surg Rehabil 2020; 11:2151459320976531. [PMID: 33282449 PMCID: PMC7691895 DOI: 10.1177/2151459320976531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2020] [Revised: 10/31/2020] [Accepted: 11/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Total Hip Arthroplasty(THA) is a surgical treatment for hip disease. A large
amount of evidence has been reported on comparing outcomes of
neuraxial(spinal or epidural) anesthesia and general anesthesia. However, it
is unclear whether nerve blocks(NB) as main anesthesia technique compared
with general anesthesia(GA) for THA could reduce perioperative
complications. We conducted a retrospective evaluation of NB and GA, using a
propensity score-matched analysis(PSMA). Methods: A total of 902 patients older than 60 years old with hip disease undergoing
primary THA received combined lumbosacral plexus and T12
paravertebral nerve blocks (n = 143) or GA (n = 759) at our institution from
2012 to 2018.Binary logistic regression was used for comparison of the
primary outcomes(the incidence of delirium) and the secondary outcomes(the
percentage of postoperative hemoglobin(>10g/dl), transfusion(>2
units), major cardiac events(MACE), postoperative pulmonary complications
(PPC) and 30-day mortality) in the matched cohorts.Statistical analysis was
performed using SPSS v 23.0. Results: Both cohorts were balanced in all included parameters after PSMA. The
incidence of delirium was lower (OR 0.233,95% CI 0.064-0.845, p = 0.030) in
NB group in matched cohorts. In the unmatched and matched cohorts, the
percentage of Hb(>10g/dl) was higher in GA group but the incidence of
transfusion(>2 units) was higher in NB group. No difference was found in
the incidence of 30-day mortality in the unmatched and matched cohorts. In
the unmatched cohorts, the incidence of PPC was higher and LOS was longer in
NB cohort, but no difference was observed in the matched cohorts. Conclusion: In patients older than 60 years old receiving primary THA, NB could be
associated with a lower incidence of delirium.

[PMID: 33329825 PMCID: PMC7713847 DOI: 10.17085/apm.19092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2019] [Revised: 12/29/2019] [Accepted: 01/14/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Postoperative delirium (POD) has an incidence rate of 9% to 41%. It is directly linked to decreasing cognitive function, increasing length of hospitalization and cost, as well as other complications and mortality. We aimed to assess the risk factors for POD among elderly patients by analyzing data from those who underwent spinal surgery. Methods This study included 446 patients aged 65 years or older who underwent spinal surgery at our institution between March 2013 and May 2018. Data were collected retrospectively from the patients' electronic medical records, and logistic regression was used to identify the risk factors associated with POD. The diagnosis of POD was based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, and was made through consultation with a psychiatrist during postoperative hospitalization and before discharge. Results Seventy-eight (78/446, 17.4%) patients were diagnosed with POD. The most relevant risk factor for POD was preoperative cognitive dysfunction (odds ratio [OR], 4.37; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.60 to 11.93; P = 0.004), followed by emergency surgery (OR, 2.70; 95% CI, 1.27 to 5.74; P = 0.01), age (OR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.13 to 1.26; P < 0.001), and anesthesia time (OR, 1.01; 95% CI 1.00 to 1.01; P = 0.002). Conclusions Preoperative cognitive dysfunction, emergency surgery, age, and anesthesia time were factors that affected POD occurrence after spinal surgery. Patients with such associated factors may be at a higher risk for POD when undergoing spinal surgery, and hence, careful management may be necessary for these patients.

Abstract
Although postoperative delirium is a common complication in older patients, few papers have described risk factors after of spinal surgery. The purpose of this study was to analyze various perioperative risk factors for delirium after spinal surgery in older patients. This study was performed on retrospective data collection with prospective design. We analyzed 138 patients over 65 years of age who underwent spinal surgery. Preoperative factors were cognitive function (Mini-Mental State Examination-Korean (MMSE-K) and the Korean version of the Delirium Rating Scale-Revised-98 (K-DRS 98)), age, sex, type of admission, American Society of Anesthesiologist classification, metabolic equivalents, laboratory findings, visual analog scale, and Oswestry Disability Index. Intraoperative factors were operation time, blood loss, and type of procedure. Postoperative factors were blood transfusion and type of postoperative pain control. Postoperative delirium developed in 25 patients (18.16%). Patients were divided into two groups: Group with delirium (group A) and group without delirium (group B). MMSE-K scores in Group A were significantly lower than in Group B (p < 0.001). K-DRS 98 scores were significantly higher in Group A than Group B (p < 0.001). The operation time was longer in Group A than Group B (p = 0.059). On multivariate regression analysis, the odds ratio of K-DRS 98 was 2.43 (p = 0.010). After correction for the interaction between age and MMSE-K, patients younger than 73 years old had a significantly lower incidence of delirium with higher MMSE-K score (p = 0.0014). Older age, low level of preoperative cognitive function, long duration of surgery, and transfusion were important risk factors of postoperative delirium after spinal surgery. It is important to recognize perioperative risk factors and manage appropriately.
