Postoperative Cognitive Decline

Background and Objectives: Delirium is a common and major complication subsequent to cardiac surgery. Despite scientific efforts, there are no parameters which reliably predict postoperative delirium. In delirium pathology, natriuretic peptides (NPs) interfere with the blood–brain barrier and thus promote delirium. Therefore, we aimed to assess whether NPs may predict postoperative delirium and long-term outcomes. Materials and Methods: To evaluate the predictive value of NPs for delirium we retrospectively analyzed data from a prospective, randomized study for serum levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and the precursor of C-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proCNP) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with or without cardiopulmonary bypass (off-pump coronary bypass grafting; OPCAB). Delirium was assessed by a validated chart-based method. Long-term outcomes were assessed 10 years after surgery by a telephone interview. Results: The overall incidence of delirium in the total cohort was 48% regardless of the surgical approach (CABG vs. OPCAB). Serum ANP levels > 64.6 pg/mL predicted delirium with a sensitivity (95% confidence interval) of 100% (75.3–100) and specificity of 42.9% (17.7–71.1). Serum NT-proCNP levels >1.7 pg/mL predicted delirium with a sensitivity (95% confidence interval) of 92.3% (64.0–99.8) and specificity of 42.9% (17.7–71.1). Both NPs could not predict postoperative survival or long-term cognitive decline. Conclusions: We found a positive correlation between delirium and preoperative plasma levels of ANP and NT-proCNP. A well-powered and prospective study might identify NPs as biomarkers indicating the risk of delirium and postoperative cognitive decline in patients at risk for postoperative delirium.

Postoperative Cognitive Decline

Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PNDs) refer to cognitive decline identified in the preoperative or postoperative period. It has been reported that the incidence of postoperative neurocognitive impairment after noncardiac surgery in patients older than 65 at 1 week was 25.8∼41.4%, and at 3 months 9.9∼12.7%. PNDs will last months or even develop to permanent dementia, leading to prolonged hospital stays, reduced quality of life, and increased mortality within 1 year. Despite the high incidence and poor prognosis of PNDs in the aged population, no effective clinical prediction model has been established to predict postoperative cognitive decline preoperatively. To develop a clinical prediction model for postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction, a prospective observational study (Clinical trial registration number: ChiCTR2000036304) will be performed in the Shanghai General Hospital during January 2021 to October 2022. A sample size of 675 patients aged &#x3e;65 years old, male or female, and scheduled for elective major noncardiac surgery will be recruited. A battery of neuropsychological tests will be used to test the cognitive function of patients at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively. We will evaluate the associations of PNDs with a bunch of candidate predictors including general characteristics of patients, blood biomarkers, indices associated with anesthesia and surgery, retinal nerve-fiber layer thickness, and frailty index to develop the clinical prediction model by using multiple logistic regression analysis and least absolute shrinkage and the selection operator (LASSO) method. The <i>k</i>-fold cross-validation method will be utilized to validate the clinical prediction model. In conclusion, this study was aimed to develop a clinical prediction model for postoperative cognitive dysfunction of old patients. It is anticipated that the knowledge gained from this study will facilitate clinical decision-making for anesthetists and surgeons managing the aged patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.

Postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative cognitive decline (deficit) (POCD) are related to a higher risk of postoperative complications and long-term disability. Pathophysiology of POD and POCD is complex, elusive and multifactorial. Intraoperative hypotension (IOH) constitutes a frequent and vital health hazard in the perioperative period. Unfortunately, there are no international recommendations in terms of diagnostics and treatment of neurocognitive complications which may arise from hypotension-related hypoperfusion. Therefore, we performed a comprehensive review of the literature evaluating the association between IOH and POD/POCD in the non-cardiac setting. We have concluded that available data are quite inconsistent and there is a paucity of high-quality evidence convincing that IOH is a risk factor for POD/POCD development. Considerable heterogeneity between studies is the major limitation to set up reliable recommendations regarding intraoperative blood pressure management to protect the brain against hypotension-related hypoperfusion. Further well-designed and effectively-performed research is needed to elucidate true impact of intraoperative blood pressure variations on postoperative cognitive functioning.
