Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Both frailty and a reduced preoperative lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) are known risk factors for postoperative delirium (POD). However, whether the relationship between LMR and POD varies by frailty status remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the frailty-stratified association between preoperative LMR and POD in older surgical patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

A retrospective cohort study based on prospectively collected data.

Patients were grouped according to the preoperative lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), calculated as the lymphocyte count divided by the monocyte count. Lymphocyte and monocyte values were obtained from the most recent preoperative laboratory test. Frailty was assessed one day before surgery using the FRAIL scale, which comprises five domains: fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illnesses, and weight loss. Each item is scored as 0 or 1, yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater frailty. Based on the total score, patients were categorized as robust (0 points), pre-frail (1-2 points), or frail (3-5 points).
