study group 300 male and female patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery are enrolled at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University [Jiangsu China]. Patients will be divided into POCD and non-POCD groups according to the scores of neuropsychological tests. |
|
control group 30 healthy volunteers are enrolled for calculating the Z-scores of study group. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- the neuropsychological test battery to measure cognitive function [1 day before surgery(baseline)]
- olfaction test to measure the sense of smell [1 day before surgery(baseline)]
- the neuropsychological tests to measure cognitive function [within 5 to 10 days (average of 7 days) after surgery]
- olfaction test to measure the sense of smell [within 5 to 10 days (average of 7 days) after surgery]
