Association of Preoperative Hippocampal Glucose Metabolism With Postoperative Delirium in Older Diabetic Patients

Официальное название

Preoperative Hippocampal Glucose Metabolism Levels and the Risk of Postoperative Delirium in Older Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Prospective Cohort Study

Обзор

Objective: To investigate the association between preoperative hippocampal glucose metabolism levels and the risk of postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and to provide a prospective neuroimaging biomarker for identifying high-risk populations. Methods: This prospective cohort study plans to enroll 154 elderly T2DM patients scheduled for liver tumor resection at the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital. Baseline cognitive function will be assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) one day before surgery. Hippocampal glucose metabolism will be quantitatively evaluated by measuring the mean standardized uptake value (SUVmean) of bilateral hippocampi using ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT. POD will be assessed twice daily from postoperative days 1 to 7 using the 3-Minute Diagnostic Interview for CAM (3D-CAM). The correlation between preoperative hippocampal SUVmean and POD incidence will be analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. The predictive performance will be evaluated by constructing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Furthermore, the relationship between a peripheral insulin resistance marker (the triglyceride-glucose index, TyG index) and hippocampal metabolism levels will be analyzed. Significance: This study aims to determine whether impaired preoperative hippocampal metabolism serves as an independent risk factor for POD. The findings are expected to provide a prospective functional neuroimaging biomarker for the early warning of POD and offer a theoretical basis for developing precise prevention strategies targeting cerebral metabolic abnormalities. This will facilitate the application of neuroimaging techniques in the field of perioperative brain dysfunction monitoring.
