摘要
Importance
Delirium is associated with increased hospital costs, health care complications, and increased mortality. Long-term consequences of delirium on cognition have not been synthesized and quantified via meta-analysis. Objective
To determine if an episode of delirium was an independent risk factor for long-term cognitive decline, and if it was, whether it was causative or an epiphenomenon in already compromised individuals. Data Sources
A systematic search in PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase was conducted from January 1, 1965, to December 31, 2018. A systematic review guided by Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses was conducted. Search terms included delirium AND postoperative cognitive dysfunction; delirium and cognitive decline; delirium AND dementia; and delirium AND memory. Study Selection
Inclusion criteria for studies included contrast between groups with delirium and without delirium; an objective continuous or binary measure of cognitive outcome; a final time point of 3 or more months after the delirium episode. The electronic search was conducted according to established methodologies and was executed on October 17, 2018. Data Extraction and Synthesis
Three authors extracted data on individual characteristics, study design, and outcome, followed by a second independent check on outcome measures. Effect sizes were calculated as Hedgesg. If necessary, binary outcomes were also converted tog. Only a single effect size was calculated for each study. Main Outcomes and Measures
The planned main outcome was magnitude of cognitive decline in Hedgesgeffect size in delirium groups when contrasted with groups that did not experience delirium. Results
Of 1583 articles, data subjected from the 24 studies (including 3562 patients who experienced delirium and 6987 controls who did not) were included in a random-effects meta-analysis for pooled effect estimates and random-effects meta-regressions to identify sources of study variance. One study was excluded as an outlier. There was a significant association between delirium and long-term cognitive decline, as the estimated effect size (Hedgesg) for 23 studies was 0.45 (95% CI, 0.34-0.57;P < .001). In all studies, the group that experienced delirium had worse cognition at the final time point. TheI2measure of between-study variability ingwas 0.81. A multivariable meta-regression suggested that duration of follow-up (longer with largergs), number of covariates controlled (greater numbers were associated with smallergs), and baseline cognitive matching (matching was associated with largergs) were significant sources of variance. More specialized subgroup and meta-regressions were consistent with predictions that suggested that delirium may be a causative factor in cognitive decline. Conclusions and Relevance
In this meta-analysis, delirium was significantly associated with long-term cognitive decline in both surgical and nonsurgical patients.
