As of today, no precise tool for patient screening and risk determination is yet available in the current clinical practice.
Preventive strategies could help reduce POD incidence and thus improve patient’s quality of life. For instance, finding the high-risk patients preoperatively would allow for the adoption of tailored and protective perioperative measures.
In parallel, it would also be crucial to properly inform patients about their risk of suffering from cognitive impairment after undergoing any surgery, under general anesthesia.
