Observational Study
Association between intraoperative body temperature and postoperative delirium: A retrospective observational study.
The effect of perioperative body temperature derangement on postoperative delirium remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between intraoperative body temperature and postoperative delirium in patients having noncardiac surgery. ⋯ Intraoperative hypothermia (even mild hypothermia) was significantly associated with an increased risk of postoperative delirium.
