Identifying hormones and other perioperative risk factors for postoperative delirium after endoscope-assisted transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma resection: A retrospective, matched cohort study.

Our study indicated that lower serum CRH, potassium, sodium, and GLU levels may be associated with the occurrence of POD after endoscopic-assisted transsphenoidal surgery. These data provide preliminary evidence for the management of POD in pituitary adenoma patients after surgery. Further studies are needed to identify pharmacological and nonpharmacological multicomponent treatment strategies.
