Review Meta Analysis
Association of postoperative delirium with cognitive outcomes: A meta-analysis.
To determine the association between postoperative delirium (POD) and cognitive outcomes at least 1 month after surgery in elderly patients, and synthesize the dynamic risk trajectory of cognition impairment after POD. ⋯ This is the first meta-analysis quantifying the association between POD and cognitive outcomes. Our results showed that POD was significantly associated with worse cognitive outcomes, including short- and long-term cognitive outcomes following surgery.

Review Meta Analysis
Association between perioperative intravenous lidocaine and subjective quality of recovery: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
To evaluate the impact of perioperative intravenous lidocaine on the quality of recovery (QoR) following surgery. ⋯ Our results verified the efficacy of intravenous lidocaine for enhancing postoperative quality of recovery by using a validated subjective tool and reducing intraoperative remifentanil consumption in patients receiving elective surgery under general anesthesia. Further studies are warranted to verify its efficacy in the acute care setting.
