Postoperative delirium: An independent risk factor for poorer quality of life with long-term cognitive and functional decline after cardiac surgery.
To evaluate the influence of delirium on the functional and cognitive capacity of patients included in the DELIPRECAS study, as well as on their quality of life, in the 3-4 years after cardiac surgery. ⋯ Postoperative delirium is a risk factor for decreased quality of life in patients 3 years after heart surgery, being associated with greater cognitive and functional deterioration, as well as greater risk of hospital readmission. Therefore, emphasis should be placed on both prevention and early recognition and treatment of delirium to improve long-term outcomes for patients after cardiac surgery.
