Why the study?
Durable memory decline may occur in older adults after CABG or percutaneous coronary intervention, but it was unknown whether individual memory risk could be predicted.
Can preoperative factors predict memory decline after coronary revascularization in older adults?

May support preoperative cognitive risk counseling post-revascularization; leaves open need for prospective validation before clinical use.
Can preoperative factors predict memory decline after coronary revascularization in older adults?
Preoperative factors can be used to predict late memory decline after coronary revascularization in older adults with high specificity, allowing for individualized risk assessment.
