The impact of cognitive reserve on delayed neurocognitive recovery after major non-cardiac surgery: an exploratory substudy

IntroductionDelayed neurocognitive recovery is a common and severe complication after surgery and anesthesia with an adverse impact on daily living, morbidity, and mortality. High cognitive reserve may mitigate the development of delayed neurocognitive recovery, however, supporting data is lacking. We aimed to assess the association between cognitive reserve and delayed neurocognitive recovery in the early […]
