Key result
A preoperative short IQCODE score >50 was significantly associated with postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing elective hip or knee arthroplasty (OR 12.7; 95% CI 1.4-115.5; p=0.02).

May support targeted delirium prevention in high-risk elderly arthroplasty patients; leaves open prospective validation of predictive utility.

Does the short IQCODE predict postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing elective hip and knee replacement surgery?
Odds Ratio: 12.7 (95% CI 1.4–115.5)
p-value: p=0.02
The short IQCODE is a useful preoperative tool to predict the risk of postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing elective hip and knee arthroplasty.
Priner et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in Postoperative delirium (n=101). Short IQCODE score >50 vs. Short IQCODE score ≤50 was evaluated on postoperative delirium (OR 12.7, 95% CI 1.4-115.5, p=0.02). A preoperative short IQCODE score >50 was significantly associated with postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing elective hip or knee arthroplasty (OR 12.7; 95% CI 1.4-115.5; p=0.02).
