Significats de postoperative cognitive dysfunction en anglès

Background: Amyloid deposition is a potential contributor to postoperative cognitive dysfunction.

Patients undergoing major surgery are at risk for postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD).

Preliminary evidence suggests that postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is common after lung transplantation.

Conclusions: In this study, postoperative cognitive dysfunction was not associated with 6-week cortical amyloid deposition.

Background: Studies on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) have attracted extensive attention and achieved significant progress.

Various studies have implicated a potential association between candidate gene polymorphisms and postoperative cognitive dysfunction, yet corroborative studies are lacking.

We aimed to identify if preoperative frailty or prefrailty is associated with preoperative and postoperative neurocognitive disorders or postoperative cognitive dysfunction.

Understanding the role of pain signaling after surgery may lead to novel interventions for common complications such as delirium and postoperative cognitive dysfunction.

We investigated the variants in genes encoding platelet glycoprotein-IIIa and apolipoprotein-E and their relationship with postoperative cognitive dysfunction one year after cardiac surgery.

Both plasma Abeta(42) and Abeta(40) levels assessed before the surgery were significantly lower in patients who later had postoperative cognitive dysfunction at 3 months.

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction was determined using Z test scores.

Methods: The International Study of Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction recruited patients undergoing noncardiac surgery from 8 countries.

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction, confusion, and delirium are common after general anesthesia in the elderly, with symptoms persisting for months or years in some patients.
