Clinical Relevance of Preoperative Lymphocyte-to-Monocyte Ratio in Predicting Postoperative Delirium Across Frailty Status in Older Surgical Patients.

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: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common and severe complication in older surgical patients. Although systemic inflammation and frailty are established risk factors, the predictive value of the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) across different frailty strata remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between preoperative LMR and POD and to determine whether this relationship varies according to frailty status. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from a multicenter cohort of 6,475 patients aged ≥65 years undergoing elective non-cardiac, non-neurosurgical surgery in China. Preoperative LMR was calculated from preoperative blood tests. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were used to assess the association between preoperative LMR and POD, with further stratified analyses performed across different frailty groups. Results: Among 6,475 patients, 789 (12.2%) developed POD. After adjustment for potential confounders, higher LMR was independently associated with a lower risk of POD (per 1-unit increase: OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.90-0.98, Conclusion: Preoperative LMR is independently associated with POD in older surgical patients. Its predictive value varies across frailty strata, with the association most evident among pre-frail individuals.
