Risk factors of delirium after cardiac surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Post-operative delirium (POD) is a relatively common occurrence following surgical procedures, particularly cardiac surgeries. Given that the majority of pharmacologic treatments for delirium have demonstrated inadequate efficacy, it is of great importance to identify risk factors to prevent delirium or reduce its complications.

Method

A comprehensive search of the literature was conducted using the databases Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science from the inception to April 22, 2024. The objective was to identify prospective cohorts that had assessed the risk factors associated with POD in patients undergoing cardiac surgery using multivariate regressio
