Abstract
Objectives
This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of significant intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) changes as an independent predictor of postoperative delirium (POD) in patients undergoing aneurysm clipping.
Methods
IONM and clinical data from 273 patients who underwent craniotomy for aneurysm clipping from 2019 until 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Significant IONM changes and POD were respectively evaluated based on visual review of data and clinical documentation. POD was assessed multiple times in the ICU using the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC).
Results
Of the 273 patients undergoing craniotomy with IONM, 83 had POD (30.4 %). Significant IONM changes were noted in 42 patients, of which 19 patients had POD (45.2 %). In contrast, 231 patients had no IONM changes during surgery, of which 64 (27.7 %) patients had POD. Multivariable analysis showed that significant IONM changes were associated with POD, OR: 2.09 (95 % CI 1.01–4.43, p-value: 0.046). Additionally, somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) changes were significantly associated with POD (p-value: 0.044).
Conclusion
Significant IONM changes are associated with an increased risk of POD in patients undergoing craniotomy for aneurysm clipping. Our findings offer a strong basis for future research and analysis of EEG and SSEP monitoring to detect and possibly prevent POD.
期刊介绍:
eNeurologicalSci provides a medium for the prompt publication of original articles in neurology and neuroscience from around the world. eNS places special emphasis on articles that: 1) provide guidance to clinicians around the world (Best Practices, Global Neurology); 2) report cutting-edge science related to neurology (Basic and Translational Sciences); 3) educate readers about relevant and practical clinical outcomes in neurology (Outcomes Research); and 4) summarize or editorialize the current state of the literature (Reviews, Commentaries, and Editorials). eNS accepts most types of manuscripts for consideration including original research papers, short communications, reviews, book reviews, letters to the Editor, opinions and editorials. Topics considered will be from neurology-related fields that are of interest to practicing physicians around the world. Examples include neuromuscular diseases, demyelination, atrophies, dementia, neoplasms, infections, epilepsies, disturbances of consciousness, stroke and cerebral circulation, growth and development, plasticity and intermediary metabolism. The fields covered may include neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neuroendocrinology, neuroepidemiology, neurogenetics, neuroimmunology, neuroophthalmology, neuropathology, neuropharmacology, neurophysiology, neuropsychology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, neurooncology, neurotoxicology, restorative neurology, and tropical neurology.
