Relationship Between Delirium Development and Its Causative Factors in the Intensive Care Unit After Cardiac Surgery.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Delirium is a clinical symptom that can have serious side effects in patients, and it develops acutely and shows reversibility. Postoperative delirium is an important neuropsychological complication after surgery that directly or indirectly affects patients. Cardiac surgery increases the risk of delirium due to the complexity of surgical procedures, use of intraoperative and postoperative anesthetics and other pharmacologic agents, and possible postoperative complications. This study aims to determine the relationship between the development of delirium and its causative factors after cardiac surgery and its associated postoperative complications, and identify the high-relevance risk factors of postoperative delirium. Methods: The participants comprised 730 patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit and underwent cardiac surgery. The collected data included 19 risk factors based on the patients' medical information records. As a delirium diagnostic tool, we used the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist, with four or more points indicating delirium. For statistical analysis, the dependent variables were determined based on the presence or absence of delirium, while the independent variables were determined based on the risk factors of delirium. A Results: Postoperative delirium was observed in 126 (17.3%) of 730 patients after cardiac surgery. Postoperative complications were more common in the delirium group. Independent risk factors associated with postoperative delirium were identified in 7 of the 12 factors. Conclusion: As cardiac surgery is invasive and affects the development and severity of delirium, efforts and intervention methods are necessary to predict the risk factors for the development of delirium before surgery, and to prevent its occurrence after surgery. In the future, it is necessary to further investigate factors associated with delirium that can be directly intervened.
