Hippocampal dysfunction as a prediction of postoperative delirium in patients of older age groups
The development of postoperative delirium (POD) is an urgent, socially significant problem, especially for patients of older age groups; this is largely due to the fact that these disorders cause cognitive dysfunction in the postoperative period. in this regard, the issue of studying the risk factors of POD and POCD developing, including the presence of cognitive disorders in the preoperative period, and, in particular, the study of mild cognitive disorders of the hippocampal type, which may be clinically insignificant, is becoming relevant. identification of predictors of POD and POCD development will prevent the formation of this pathology even before the start of surgical intervention.
