Retrospective Analysis of Perioperative Variables Associated With Postoperative Delirium and Other Adverse Outcomes in Older Patients After Spine Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this retrospective study was to identify perioperative variables predictive of the development of delirium in older surgical patients after spine surgery.

Materials and methods

We collected preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data on patients 65 years of age and above having spine surgery between July 1, 2015 and March 15, 2017. The primary outcome was the development of postoperative delirium. Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariable analysis.

Results

Among the 716 patients included in this study 127 (18%) developed postoperative delirium. On multivariable analysis, independent predictors of postoperative delirium included older age (odds ratio [OR]=1.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00-1.09; P=0.048), American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status >2 (OR=1.89 [95% CI, 1.04-3.59]; P=0.042), metabolic equivalents of task <4 (OR=1.84 [95% CI, 1.10-3.07]; P=0.019), depression (OR=2.01 [95% CI, 1.21-3.32]; P=0.006), nonelective surgery (OR=4.81 [95% CI, 1.75-12.79]; P=0.002), invasive surgical procedures (OR=1.97 [95% CI, 1.10-3.69]; P=0.028) and higher mean pain scores on postoperative day 1 (OR=1.28 [95% CI, 1.11-1.48]; P<0.001).

Conclusions

Postoperative delirium is a common complication in older patients after spine surgery, and there are several perioperative risk factors associated with its development.

Project description:Postoperative delirium (POD) ranks among the most common complications in surgical patients. Blood-based biomarkers might help identify the patient at risk. This study aimed to assess how serum biomarkers with specificity for vascular and endothelial function and for inflammation are altered, prior to or following surgery in patients who subsequently develop POD. This was a study on a subcohort of consecutively recruited elective non-cardiac as well as cardiac surgery patients (age > 60 years) of the single-center PROPDESC trial at a German tertiary care hospital. Serum was sampled prior to and following surgery, and the samples were subjected to bead-based multiplex analysis of 17 serum proteins (IL-3, IL-8, IL-10, Cripto, CCL2, RAGE, Resistin, ANGPT2, TIE2, Thrombomodulin, Syndecan-1, E-Selectin, VCAM-1, ICAM-1, CXCL5, NSE, and uPAR). Development of POD was assessed during the first five days after surgery, using the Confusion Assessment Method for ICU (CAM-ICU), the CAM, the 4-'A's test (4AT), and the Delirium Observation Scale (DOS). Patients were considered positive if POD was detected at least once during the visitation period by any of the applied methods. Non-parametric testing, as well as propensity score matching were used for statistical analysis. A total of 118 patients were included in the final analysis; 69% underwent non-cardiac surgery, median overall patient age was 71 years, and 59% of patients were male. In the whole cohort, incidence of POD was 28%. The male gender was significantly associated with the development of POD (p = 0.0004), as well as a higher ASA status III (p = 0.04). Incidence of POD was furthermore significantly increased in cardiac surgery patients (p = 0.002). Surgery induced highly significant changes in serum levels of almost all biomarkers except uPAR. In preoperative serum samples, none of the analyzed parameters was significantly altered in subsequent POD patients. In postoperative samples, CCL2 was significantly increased by a factor of 1.75 in POD patients (p = 0.03), as compared to the no-POD cohort. Following propensity score matching, CCL2 remained the only biomarker that showed significant differences in postoperative values (p = 0.01). In cardiac surgery patients, postoperative CCL2 serum levels were more than 3.5 times higher than those following non-cardiac surgery (p < 0.0001). Moreover, after cardiac surgery, Syndecan-1 serum levels were significantly increased in POD patients, as compared to no-POD cardiac surgery patients (p = 0.04). In a mixed cohort of elective non-cardiac as well as cardiac surgery patients, preoperative serum biomarker profiling with specificity for vascular dysfunction and for systemic inflammation was not indicative of subsequent POD development. Surgery-induced systemic inflammation-as evidenced by the significant increase in CCL2 release-was associated with POD, particularly following cardiac surgery. In those patients, postoperative glycocalyx injury might furthermore contribute to POD development.

Project description:BackgroundThe incremental hospital cost and length of stay (LOS) associated with adverse events (AEs) has not been well characterized for planned and unplanned inpatient spine, hip, and knee surgeries.MethodsRetrospective cohort study of hip, knee, and spine surgeries at an academic hospital in 2011-2012. Adverse events were prospectively collected for 3,063 inpatient cases using the Orthopaedic Surgical AdVerse Event Severity (OrthoSAVES) reporting tool. Case costs were retrospectively obtained and inflated to equivalent 2021 CAD values. Propensity score methodology was used to assess the cost and LOS attributable to AEs, controlling for a variety of patient and procedure factors.ResultsThe sample was 55% female and average age was 64; 79% of admissions were planned. 30% of cases had one or more AEs (82% had low-severity AEs at worst). The incremental cost and LOS attributable to AEs were $8,500 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 5100-11,800) and 4.7 days (95% CI: 3.4-5.9) per admission. This corresponded to a cumulative $7.8 M (14% of total cohort cost) and 4,290 bed-days (19% of cohort bed-days) attributable to AEs. Incremental estimates varied substantially by (1) admission type (planned: $4,700/2.4 days; unplanned: $20,700/11.5 days), (2) AE severity (low: $4,000/3.1 days; high: $29,500/11.9 days), and (3) anatomical region (spine: $19,800/9 days; hip: $4,900/3.8 days; knee: $1,900/1.5 days). Despite only 21% of admissions being unplanned, adverse events in these admissions cumulatively accounted for 59% of costs and 62% of bed-days attributable to AEs.ConclusionsThis study comprehensively demonstrates the considerable cost and LOS attributable to AEs in orthopaedic and spine admissions. In particular, the incremental cost and LOS attributable to AEs per admission were almost five times as high among unplanned admissions compared to planned admissions. Mitigation strategies focused on unplanned surgeries may result in significant quality improvement and cost savings in the healthcare system.

Project description:BackgroundPostoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and delirium are the most common perioperative cognitive complications in older adults undergoing surgery. A recent study of cardiac surgery patients suggests that physical frailty is a risk factor for both complications. We sought to examine the relationship between preoperative frailty and postoperative delirium and preoperative frailty and POCD after major noncardiac surgery.MethodsWe performed a prospective cohort study of patients >65 years old having major elective noncardiac surgery with general anesthesia. Exclusion criteria were preexisting dementia, inability to consent, cardiac, intracranial, or emergency surgery. Preoperative frailty was determined using the FRAIL scale, a simple questionnaire that categorizes patients as robust, prefrail, or frail. Delirium was assessed with the Confusion Assessment Method for the intensive care unit (CAM-ICU) twice daily, starting in the recovery room until hospital discharge. All patients were assessed with neuropsychological tests (California Verbal Learning Test II, Trail Making Test, subtests from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Logical Memory Story A, Immediate and Delayed Recall, Animal and Vegetable verbal fluency, Boston Naming Test, and the Mini-Mental Status Examination) before surgery and at 3 months afterward.ResultsA total of 178 patients met inclusion criteria; 167 underwent major surgery and 150 were available for follow-up 3 months after surgery. The median age was 70 years old. Thirty-one patients (18.6%) tested as frail, and 72 (43.1%) prefrail before surgery. After adjustment for baseline cognitive score, age, education, surgery duration, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status, type of surgery, and sex, patients who tested frail or prefrail had an estimated 2.7 times the odds of delirium (97.5% confidence interval, 1.0-7.3) when compared to patients who were robust. There was no significant difference between the proportion of POCD between patients who tested as frail, prefrail, or robust.ConclusionsAfter adjustment for baseline cognition, testing as frail or prefrail with the FRAIL scale is associated with increased odds of postoperative delirium, but not POCD after noncardiac surgery.
