This study aimed to explore the effect of cognitive status on propofol consumption during surgery in elderly patients.MethodsSixty elderly patients scheduled for laparoscopic radical prostatectomy were allocated to either a cognitively normal [CogN, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score ≥26] or cognitively impaired (CogI, MoCA <26) group.
