The primary outcome was the incidence of POD from the first day to seven days post-surgery. The meta-analysis revealed that DEX significantly reduced POD incidence compared to various controls (RR 0.70; 95 % CI 0.54–0.89; P = 0.004). Subgroup analyses showed that DEX was particularly effective when compared to propofol (RR 0.48; 95 % CI 0.30–0.78; P = 0.003).
