Risk factors and prevalence of perioperative cognitive dysfunction in abdominal aneurysm patients

Abstract: A significant proportion of patients undergoing elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair are susceptible to the development of delirium and are at risk for cognitive dysfunction after surgery. Our findings have implications for promoting long-term lifestyle changes, including smoking cessation and improved management of mental health as risk-reduction strategies.

“…Delirium is a common and well-recognized complication after vascular surgery that affects over 30% of patients [1][2][3][4] and is associated with prolonged length of stay, 5 increased health care costs, 6 and higher morbidity and mortality. [7][8][9][10] Furthermore, patients with delirium are more likely to be discharged to either intermediate-or long-term care facilities, 5 increasing the primary admission health care costs to the community.…”

“…The first papers were observational and were carried out in patients who were not treated with oxygen postoperatively [18,20]. At present, the postoperative period is one of the major indications for oxygen therapy; thus, studies evaluating the incidence of hypoxia episodes in patients who were not treated with oxygen are incidental.…”

“…Patients undergoing vascular procedures most commonly develop postoperative cardiac complications in the form of hypo-or hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, circulatory failure or myocardial infarction; postoperative hypoxaemia is an additional factor that enhances the symptoms and deterioration prognosis [3,7,8,9,18,20].…”

“…4 Rates of delirium after major vascular surgery vary from 30% to more than 50%. [5][6][7][8] In this study, we compared the incidence of postoperative delirium in patients undergoing OPEN aortic aneurysm repair surgery with the incidence in patients undergoing the EVAR approach. We hypothesized that the EVAR approach would be associated with a reduced incidence of postoperative delirium.…”
