Abstract in brief

  • Research on cognitive change after anesthesia and surgery has been ongoing for over 100 years, with significant progress made since the 1980s through detailed neuropsychological tests, especially in elderly and cardiac surgery patients.
  • The study emphasizes the need for standardized terminology, proposing the use of 'perioperative neurocognitive disorders' as an umbrella term to describe cognitive impairments before and after surgery, aligning with classifications used in general cognitive research such as DSM-5.
  • A multidisciplinary working group, utilizing consensus methods, recommends adopting DSM-5 terminology for clinical diagnosis and highlights the importance of including biomarkers and consistent classifications to improve research and understanding of cognitive changes related to anesthesia and surgery.
