The Association Between Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index and Postoperative Cognitive Decline in Elderly Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) is highly prevalent in elderly patients who received surgery. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has been shown to be an independent predictor of many diseases associated with inflammation, but the relationship between the SII and POCD is unknown. We aimed to investigate the association between POCD and SII levels to examine the potential of SII in predicting POCD in elderly patients.

Patients and methods

The present study was carried out among elderly patients who underwent elective orthopedics operation in our hospital, and SII, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR) were calculated from the admission blood sample. POCD was measured by Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) in elderly
