Results

GS of 150 patients median aged 73 years was evaluated. POD was diagnosed in 17 patients, 13 of whom had low GS. Among the four sarcopenia criteria, the AWGS showed the highest area under ROC curve 0.796. Of the variables analyzed, including age, ASA class, body weight, intraoperative opioid, and postoperative pain, only low GS was identified as an independent predictor of POD.

Baseline Characteristics

GS of 150 patients median aged 73 years was evaluated. POD was diagnosed in 17 patients, 13 of whom had low GS. Among the four sarcopenia criteria, the AWGS showed the highest area under ROC curve 0.796. Of the variables analyzed, including age, ASA class, body weight, intraoperative opioid, and postoperative pain, only low GS was identified as an independent predictor of POD.

Participant flow

This prospective study included patients aged >65 years undergoing lower extremity surgery. Preoperative GS was measured, and sarcopenia was diagnosed using the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) criteria and three others. POD was assessed with the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of low GS in predicting POD. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify variables independently associated with POD incidence.

Adverse events

None

Outcome measures

POD was assessed with the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of low GS in predicting POD. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify variables independently associated with POD incidence.
