Abstract:

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of the postoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly spinal tuberculosis patients undergoing the surgery, and to provide scientific evidence for the effective prevention of the perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND). Methods A prospective observational research was conducted with 102 elderly spinal tuberculosis patients undergoing spinal surgery from Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital between January 2019 and June 2020. Clinical data of the patients were collected. Regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) was continuously measured during the operation, the cognitive function was also assessed by mini-mental state examination (MMSE) before and after the operation to analyze the influential factors of PND in elderly spinal tuberculosis patients after surgery. Results Among the 102 patients, 10 withdrawn and the other 92 completed the study. Of these 92 patients, 74 (80.43%) did not occur PND, and 18 (19.57%) occurred PND 7 days after operation, and 10 cases recovered 30 days postoperative. A univariate analysis revealed that the duration of rSO2 <60% intraoperative was 41.5 (33.5, 64.7) minutes in patients with PND, which was significantly longer than that in patients without PND (0.0 (0.0, 5.8) minutes, Z=-6.454, P=0.001). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of PND in patients with the duration of rSO2 <60% during 31-59 minutes was 5.903 (95%CI: 1.228-28.385) times as high as that in patients with the duration ≤30 minutes; the risk of PND in patients with the duration ≥60 minutes was 10.168 (95%CI: 1.177-87.857) times as high as that in patients with the duration ≤30 minutes. Conclusion The long duration of rSO2 <60% in the spinal tuberculosis surgery was a risk factor of PND. During the operation, attention should be paid to the change of cerebral oxygen saturation, and the timely intervention would help to avoid low cerebral oxygen saturation in patients.
