Delayed neurocognitive recovery (DNR; neurocognitive disorder up to 30 days postoperative) and postoperative neurocognitive disorders (POCD; neurocognitive disorder 1–12 months postoperative) occur frequently after surgery, with diabetes mellitus (DM) suggested to contribute to this. This was a single-center prospective cohort study.
The main aim of this study was to investigate the role of DM and preoperative hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in the development of POCDs after noncardiac surgery. Methods: Older adult patients ≥65 years of age scheduled for elective surgery were recruited.
The Modified Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status questionnaire (TICS-M), a test of global cognitive functioning, was administered to determine cognition. Preoperative, 30-day postoperative, and 6-month postoperative cognition were compared for patients with and without DM.
Cognitive decline was subdivided into mild (1 to 2 standard deviations below controls) and major (≥2 standard deviations below controls) DNR or POCD. Preoperative HbA1c levels were correlated with TICS-M scores
