Regional Cerebral Oxygen Saturation and Risk of Delirium: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Delirium onset is associated with increased comorbidity and mortality. Identifying reliable delirium biomarkers remains challenging. Regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO₂) offers an objective, easily obtainable measure suitable for hospital monitoring. Objective: We aimed to analyse the relationship between regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO₂) values obtained by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and the subsequent development of delirium. Methods: Studies eligible for inclusion in our systematic review evaluated rSO₂ values obtained by NIRS or a used a similar method to study hospitalised patients aged 18 years or older, some of whom subsequently developed delirium. We searched MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science wi
