Association of preoperative prognostic nutritional index with risk of postoperative delirium: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Study objective

To assess the association between prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and risk of postoperative delirium (POD) in adult patients.

Methods

MEDLINE, Google scholar, EMBASE, and Cochrane library databases were searched from inception till April 2022. The primary outcome was the association between PNI and the risk of POD, while the secondary outcomes were correlations of other prognostic factors with POD risk. The correlation between PNI and the incidence of POD was assessed with three approaches: Difference in preoperative PNI between POD and non-POD groups (Model 1) as well as the association of PNI as a continuous parameter (Model 2) or as a binary variable (i.e., low vs. high using a PNI cut-off value of 50) (Model 3) with POD risk.
