09-10, 17:30–18:00 (Europe/Istanbul), Head & Neck Oncology 3

<p>Postoperative delirium is a state of confusion and cognitive impairment that can be observed after extensive surgery. This serious complication can lead to longer hospital stays and higher costs. As the global population ages, postoperative delirium has also become a concern for patients undergoing head and neck surgery. In this study, we investigated whether the preoperative recognition of cognitive impairment could help with the prediction of postoperative delirium among patients undergoing head and neck surgery.</p>

<p>The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of cognitive impairment (CI) in patients who underwent head and neck surgery and to determine the relationship between CI and delirium.</p>
