Conclusions
We revealed POCD patients had a significantly longer preoperative
hospitalization period when compared to non-POCD patient group. In
addition, POCD development was associated with advanced age, presence of
comorbidity, high ASA scores, prolonged surgery duration, increased
intraoperative blood loss amount and low postoperative hematocrit
levels. We consider prolonged preoperative hospitalization periods were
related with early POCD development and patients had risk factors should
be closely monitorised post operatively in terms of cognitive functions.
