Is perioperative hyperglycemia associated with postoperative neurocognitive disorders after cardiac surgery?
Our study suggests that perioperative hyperglycemia was associated with new onset of postoperative neurocognitive disorders in adult patients after cardiac surgery, and that men tended to be protected from these outcomes. These findings may suggest a need for the revision of clinical protocols for perioperative insulin therapy to prevent long-term neurocognitive complications.
Dysplasia and cancer in UC are endoscopically visible in most patients and may be reliably identified during scheduled examinations. Future surveillance guidelines should incorporate this information.
