From: Alcohol consumption may be associated with postoperative delirium in the elderly: the PNDABLE study
Alcohol consumption is a risk factor for POD, and within a certain range, the risk of developing POD increases as alcohol intake increases; Aβ42 is a protective factor for POD, and the risk of developing POD increases as the level of Aβ42 decreases. The process of predictors selection: Alcohol, Aβ42, P-tau, etc., was statistically significant with POD in this study.; Light alcohol consumption (< 12 g) in women may increase Aβ42 levels, so gender was also included as a predictor in the nomogram model;. BMI [44], cigarettes [45], Hypertension [46] and diabetes [47] have also been shown to be associated with the development of cognitive dysfunction
