Do high preoperative and postoperative C-reactive protein levels predict delirium incidence, duration, and feature severity in patients after major noncardiac surgery?
High preoperative and postoperative day 2 CRP levels may serve as useful biomarkers to identify patients at risk for delirium after major noncardiac surgery.
High preoperative and POD2 CRP were independently associated with delirium incidence, duration, and feature severity. CRP may be useful to identify individuals who are at risk of developing delirium.
Vasunilashorn et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
