Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a significant clinical problem in neurosurgical patients after intracranial surgery. Identification of high-risk patients may optimise individual perioperative management, but an adequate and simple risk model for use at super early phase after operation has not been developed.Methods: Adult patients were admitted to the ICU after elective intracranial surgery under general anaesthesia. The POD was diagnosed as Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU positive on postoperative day 1 to 3. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to develop the early prediction model (E-PREPOD-NS) and the final model was validated with 200 bootstrap samples.Results: Among 800 patients included in the study, POD occurred in 157 cases (19.6%). We identified nine variables independently associated with POD in the final E-PREPOD-NS model: age > 65 years [odds ratio (OR) = 3.336, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.765-6.305, 1 risk score point], education level < 9 years (OR = 2.528, 95% CI = 1.446-4.419, 1 point), history of smoking (OR = 2.582, 95% CI = 1.611-4.140, 1 point), history of diabetes (OR = 2.541, 95% CI = 1.201-5.377, 1 point), supra-tentorial lesions (OR = 3.424, 95% CI = 2.021-5.802, 1 point), anesthesia duration > 360 min (OR = 1.686, 95% CI = 1.062-2.674, 0.5 point), GCS P = 0.593).Conclusions: The E-PREPOD-NS model based on nine perioperative risk factors can predict POD in patients admitted to the ICU after elective intracranial surgery with fairly good accuracy. External validation is needed before use in clinical practice.
