About this study

Official title: Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction: Correlations With the Gene Polymorphism and the Concentrations of Plasma Homocysteine, Folic Acid and Vitamin B12.

To study on the Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction: Correlations With the Gene Polymorphism and the Concentrations of Plasma Homocysteine, Folic Acid and Vitamin B12. To explore whether the gene polymorphism and the concentrations of plasma homocysteine, folic acid and vitamin B12 could be used as predictor(s) of POCD and to provide reference for POCD prevention, early detection and timely diagnosis and treatment.

Study groups in NCT03084393
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
study group215 Male and female patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University [Jiangsu China]. The investigators do the Mini-Mental score examination (MMSE) and neuropsychological tests 1 day before (baseline) and 1 week after surgery without safety issue. Patients will be divided into POCD and non-POCD groups according to the two times tests.
non-surgical groupThe investigators enroll 30 healthy volunteers and do the Mini-Mental score examination (MMSE) and neuropsychological tests at 1 day (baseline) and1 week without safety issue. The exclusive purpose of the non-surgical group is to aid in the POCD calculation according to the ISPOCD 1 study definition.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the neuropsychological tests

    the neuropsychological tests to measure cognitive function, including the Trail Making Test, the Grooved Pegboard Test, the Digit Span Test, the Number-Symbol Replacement Test,the Finger Tapping Test, the Word Fluency Test and the Building Block Test.

    Measured: 1 day before surgery(baseline)

  2. Mini-Mental score examination [MMSE]

    Mini-Mental score examination [MMSE] used for screening of dementia

    Measured: 1 day before surgery(baseline)

  3. the neuropsychological tests

    the neuropsychological tests to measure cognitive function, including the Trail Making Test, the Grooved Pegboard Test, the Digit Span Test, the Number-Symbol Replacement,the Test Finger Tapping Test, the Word Fluency Test and the Building Block Test.

    Measured: within the first 7 days (plus or minus 2 days) after surgery

  4. Mini-Mental score examination [MMSE]

    Mini-Mental score examination [MMSE] used for screening of dementia

    Measured: within the first 7 days (plus or minus 2 days) after surgery
