Postoperative Cognitive Decline in Patients Undergoing Major Gynecologic Oncology Surgery: A Pilot Prospective Study
Objectives
Postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) is characterised by deficits in attention, memory, executive function, and information processing that persist beyond the early postoperative period. Its incidence ranges from 10%–25% after noncardiac surgery. Limited literature exists on POCD after gynecologic oncology surgery. Our primary objective was to identify the incidence of POCD among patients 55 years or older undergoing major gynecologic oncology surgery.
Methods
This mixed-methods, prospective, observational cohort study followed patients 55 years or older who underwent surgery for gynecologic malignancies between February and July 2022. Semi-structured interviews and the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) were administered before surgery as well as 1 and 3 months after. Assessments were delivered virtually and in-person in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. POCD was defined as ≥2-point decline from baseline MMSE score.
Results
Twenty-four patients participated; 19 completed the 1-month follow-up, and 15 completed the 3-month follow-up. The average age was 64 (range: 56–90). The mean preoperative MMSE score was 16.6 out of 17 (virtual) and 12.9 out of 13 (in-person). Two patients had a 1-point decline in their 1-month MMSE score; both recovered by 3 months. One patient had a 1-point decline in their 3-month MMSE score. Semi-structured interviews revealed common themes of “brain fog” at the 1-month follow-up and mild, persistent attention and word-finding deficits at 3 months postoperatively.
Conclusions
This study’s qualitative component captured subtle subjective findings suggestive of potential POCD. Larger studies are required, and a more extensive neuropsychological test battery may be required to elicit subtle findings not clearly reflected by MMSE scores.
