Delirium After Prolapse Surgery Increases Complications: National Cohort Study.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introduction and hypothesisPostoperative delirium (POD) is an acute state of altered mentation after surgery. The effect of POD on outcomes after prolapse surgery is not well-defined. We hypothesized that POD is associated with increased adverse events (AEs) after prolapse surgery in older adults.
methodsThis is a retrospective cohort study using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program data registry of women ≥ 75 years who underwent prolapse surgery from 2021 to 2023. The primary outcome was a composite 30-day AE outcome. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed, controlling for clinically relevant variables with p < 0.05 on univariate analysis.
resultsOf 1766 older women screened for POD, 87 (4.9%) were diagnosed with POD. Patients with POD were older, less likely to be White, and more likely to have baseline dementia (p < 0.05). Although they underwent similar types of prolapse repair, women with POD were less likely to undergo concomitant hysterectomy. Reoperation (5.8% vs. 1.6%, p = 0.02) and discharge to skilled nursing facility (SNF) (4.6% vs. 0.9%, p = 0.01) were significantly associated with POD. On multivariable analysis, POD was associated with a 2.11 greater adjusted odds for composite AEs within 30 days of surgery (95% CI [1.23-3.61]), a 3.41 greater adjusted odds for reoperation (95% CI [1.21-9.61]), and a 3.71 greater adjusted odds for discharge to SNF (95% CI [1.09-12.58]).
conclusionsPOD is associated with an increased odds of postoperative AEs in older women undergoing prolapse surgery. These findings support the incorporation of POD and associated risks into perioperative counseling for older adults undergoing reconstructive pelvic surgery.
