Identifying hormones and other perioperative risk factors for postoperative delirium after endoscope-assisted transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma resection: A retrospective, matched cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

As a complex and acute brain dysfunction, if postoperative delirium (POD) occurs in the postoperative period, it will lead to a prolonged length of stay in the critical care unit, with increased hospitalization costs and higher mortality. A few case reports inspired us to pay close attention to pituitary tumor-associated delirium. We hypothesized that the changes in hormone levels after pituitary tumor resection might be associated with POD occurrence.

Methods

Retrospective analysis was performed on data from a single-center cohort study conducted at Southwest Hospital between January 2018 and May 2022. A total of 360 patients with pituitary tumors who underwent endoscope-assisted transsphenoidal pituitary tumor resection were divided into two groups at a 1:3 ratio
