The association between Monocyte-to-Lymphocyte ratio and postoperative delirium in ICU patients in cardiac surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To analyze the relationship between monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and postoperative delirium (POD).

Methods

This cohort study was conducted in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-III (MIMIC-III) version 1.4 database. MLR was measured according to the complete blood count. ICD-9 was used to measure postoperative delirium. Multivariable logistic regression was utilized to examine the relationship between MLR and POD.

Results

Three thousand eight hundred sixty-eight patients who had received cardiac surgery were retrospectively enrolled, including 2171 males and 1697 females, with a mean age of 63.9 ± 16.2 years. The univariate analysis suggested that high MLR (as a continuous variable) as associated with a 21% higher risk of POD (O R: 1.12, 95
