Anesthesia and surgery may cause postoperative delirium by affecting brain integrity. Neurofilament light in serum reflects axonal injury. Studies evaluating the perioperative course of neurofilament light in […]

Background Anesthesia and/or surgery accelerate Alzheimer’s disease pathology and cause memory deficits in animal models, yet there is a lack of prospective data comparing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Alzheimer’s disease–related biomarker and cognitive trajectories in older adults who underwent surgery versus those who have not. Thus, the […]
