ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication after surgery. The association between sleep disorders and the risk of POD has been widely studied. Sleep disorders have emerged as a potential risk factor for POD, but recent studies provide conflicting evidence regarding the existence and the extent of the association. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis will be to estimate the association between sleep disorders and the risk of POD in adult patients.

Methods and analysis

A systematic review will be conducted to estimate the association between sleep disorders and the risk of POD in adult patients. This systematic review protocol follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) statement. Lit
