Postoperative delirium and delayed neurocognitive recovery in older adults with prior coronavirus disease: a prospective cohort study
Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection was independently associated with an increased risk of POD, which was potentially mediated by APSP. In contrast, no significant association was observed between prior COVID-19 and DNR incidence. In addition, full COVID-19 vaccination significantly reduced the risk of POD, suggesting that perioperative COVID-19 vaccine promotion is a potential public health strategy for improving the prognosis of the elderly.
