Perioperative Complications
There was no significant difference in 30-day in-hospital mortality
(P=0.072) between two groups, and there was also no significant
difference in major bleeding (P=0.065), arrythmia (P=0.089), low cardiac
output (P=0.165), as well as the median ICU (intensive care unit, ICU)
stay (P=0.319) and hospital stay (P=0.821) between two groups.
Postoperative reoperation rate were marginally more common (P=0.041) in
Delirium group, and postoperative pulmonary and gastrointestinal
complications (P=0.098, P=0.061) were not statistically different
between the two groups. MoCA score which is a convenient tool for
estimating patients’ global cognitive functioning was significantly
lower in Delirium group (P=0.001). (Table 4)
