Correlation Between Postoperative Cognitive-related Adverse Reactions and Brain Metabolomic Characteristics in Elderly Patients

September 26, 2022 updated by: Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) refers to the difficulties of orientation, cognition, communication, memory and abstract thinking of patients after anesthesia and surgery. And/or accompanied by the decline of the ability in social activities, such as the change of personality, social ability of language and behavior, cognitive function and life skills. POCD is a common complication of central nervous system in elderly patients after operation, with an early incidence of about 21% and a long-term incidence of about 35% . According to the current research on Alzheimer's disease (AD) and POCD in the elderly, it has been found that they have similar pathological basis and some homologous related genes. Altogether, POCD is closely related to molecular pathway neuropsychiatric diseases (such as dementia, depression and Alzheimer's disease). Researchers have come up with various hypotheses to reveal the underlying mechanisms of POCD, including neuritis, oxidative stress, autophagy disorder, synaptic dysfunction, and lack of neurotrophic support. To date, apart from evaluating with scales, CT Scan and EEG analysis, there is neither exact biomarkers for monitoring and diagnosing POCD, nor clear relationships between specific Brain Metabolomic Characteristics, EEG changes and diagnosis of POCD, so that the diagnosis of early POCD only stays in the evaluation of clinical symptoms and scales. Therefore, our study aims to provide an effective basis for early diagnosis and treatment of clinical POCD through multivariate analyses of clinical scales combined with Brain Metabolomic Characteristics, EEG analysis of patients.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Our research is a single center, nested case-control study. Preoperatively collect the information of the elderly patients over 65 years old without undergoing craniocerebral operations, including the vital signs, the examination reports and other related data after excluding the factors that can't be included in the group. The patients' health scales and preoperative cognitive function scales were evaluated.
