Preoperative Visual Attention Performance Predicts Postoperative Delirium
We found that preoperative measures of visual attention predicted postoperative delirium. Further studies can help to determine how to apply these measures to better predict and monitor the effects of delirium on cognition and neurodegeneration. Understanding this relationship also provides a basis for future research on strategies to prevent, mitigate or rehabilitate the effects of delirium, improving hospital outcomes and potentially delaying or preventing dementia.
