Association Between the Highest Lactate Level on the First Postoperative Day and Postoperative Delirium in Cardiac Surgery Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The study aimed to determine the correlation between the maximum lactate on the first postoperative day and the incidence of postoperative delirium (POD) in patients after cardiac surgery.

Methods

The data of cardiac surgery patients were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database. The cut-off value for the first postoperative day maximum lactate was determined, and all patients were categorized into two groups according to the cut-off value. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied between the two groups, and the difference in the incidence of POD was analyzed. Then, we employed univariate logistic regression, multivariate logistic regression, PSM, and inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) models to examine the relationshi
