Key result
Advanced age, cognitive dysfunction, and perioperative pain are linked to postoperative delirium after hip surgery.
Why the study?
Postoperative delirium is a common complication in elderly patients undergoing hip surgery that causes significant physical and psychological harm and long-term cognitive dysfunction, with perioperative risk factors remaining a research focus.
This review summarizes the risk factors for postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing hip surgery to provide a reference for future research.
Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common disease in elderly patients undergoing hip surgery. As we all know, age is a well-known risk factor. In this increasingly aging situation, the proportion of elderly patients undergoing surgery is increasing day by day. Among them, postoperative delirium is a common complication of hip surgery. It brings great physical and psychological damage to patients and leads to long-term cognitive dysfunction. Therefore, the occurrence of postoperative delirium and its perioperative related risk factors are still the focus of our research. Therefore, this review discusses the related risk factors of postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing hip surgery and summarizes the research progress of postoperative delirium in order to provide reference for related research.

Alimu et al. (2023) conducted a review in Postoperative delirium in elderly patients with hip fracture. Risk factors (e.g., advanced age, cognitive dysfunction, pain) was evaluated. Advanced age, cognitive dysfunction, and perioperative pain are major risk factors for postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing hip surgery, highlighting the need for early assessment.
