Pre-operative risk stratification is commonly performed by assessing end organ function (such as cardiac and pulmonary) to define post-operative risk. Little is known about impaired pre-operative cognition and outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of baseline impaired cognition on post-operative outcomes in geriatric surgery patients. Prospectively, subjects 65 years and older undergoing a planned elective operation requiring post-operative ICU admission were recruited. Pre-operative baseline cognition was assessed using the validated Mini-Cog test. Impaired cognition was defined as a Mini-Cog score of ≤3. Delirium was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method-ICU by a trained research team. Adverse outcomes were defined using the Veterans Affairs Surgical Quality Improvement Program definitions. 186 subjects were included with an average age of 73±6 years. Eighty-two subjects (44%) had baseline impaired cognition. The impaired cognition group had the unadjusted outcomes: increased incidence of ≥1 post-operative complication (41% versus 24%; p=.011), higher incidence of delirium (78% versus 37%; p<.001), longer hospital stays (15±14 versus 9±9 days; p=.008), higher rate of discharge institutionalization (42% versus 18%; p=.001) and higher six-month mortality (13% versus 5%; p=.040). Adjusting for potential confounders determined by univariate analysis, logistic regression found impaired cognition was still associated to the occurrence of one or more post-operative complications (odds ratio 2.401; 95% confidence interval 1.185, 4.865; p=0.015). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed higher mortality in the impaired cognition group (Log-Rank p =.008). Baseline cognitive impairment in older adults undergoing major elective operations is related to adverse post-operative outcomes including increased complications, length of stay and long-term mortality. Improved understanding of baseline cognition and surgical outcomes may aid surgical decision-making in older adults.
