Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Postoperative Cognitive Decline in Non‐Cardiac Surgery: A Prospective Cohort Study
Our study indicates no clear association between the severity of obstructive sleep apnea and postoperative cognitive decline within 90 days after surgery. Instead, we identified preoperative depression as a significant risk factor for postoperative cognitive decline. Therefore, it is important to exercise caution when managing patients with depression.
