Postoperative pain and opioids use are associated with postoperative delirium. We designed a single center, randomized, placebo-controlled parallel-arm, double-blinded trial to determine whether perioperative administration of gabapentin reduced postoperative delirium after noncardiac surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to receive placebo (n = 347) or gabapentin 900 mg (n=350) administered preoperatively and for the first three postoperative days. The primary outcome was postoperative delirium as measured by the Confusion Assessment Methods. Secondary outcomes were postoperative pain, opioids use, and length of hospital stay. Data for 697 patients were included with a mean age of 72 ± 6 years. The overall incidence of postoperative delirium in any of the first three days was 22.4%, (24.0% in the gabapentin and 20.8% in the placebo groups, the difference was 3.2%, {95% confidence interval (CI) −3.22 to 9.72%}, P=0.30. The incidence of delirium did not differ between the two groups when stratified by surgery type, anesthesia type or preoperative risk status. Gabapentin was shown to be opioid sparing – with lower doses for the intervention group vs. control group. For example, the morphine equivalents for gabapentin treated group, median 6.7 mg (25th, 75th quartiles 1.3, 20.0 mg) vs. control groups, median 6.7 mg (2.7, 24.8) differed on the first postoperative day, p =0.04. Although postoperative opioids usage was reduced, perioperative administration of gabapentin did not result in a reduction of postoperative delirium, or hospital length of stay.
