Abstract:

 

Background/aim:  Hypertension  is  an  important  risk  factor  for  cognitive  impairment.  This  study  explored  whether  elderly  patients  with stage I hypertension  HPs  and normotensive patients  NPs  showed differences in the recovery of postoperative attention network function according to the attentional network test  ANT  performance.Materials  and  methods:  Of  110  patients  screened,  25  HPs  and  25  NPs  completed  this  study.  The  Mini-Mental  State  Examination   MMSE   was  applied  to  all  participants  before  the  operation  and  the  ANT   on  days  2  and  7   after  the  operation.  All  participants  completed 1 day preoperatively and the ANT on postoperative days  PODs  2 and 7.Results: Compared with NPs, HPs had significantly lower alerting network effect scores and more difficulty resolving conflict on POD 7. However, no significant difference was observed between the groups on POD 2. Orienting network performance was similar between the  groups  at  all  time  points.  Significant  differences  in  alerting  and  executive  control  network  performances  were  observed  between  PODs 2 and 7 in each group.Conclusion: HPs showed selective cognitive impairment at different time points following elective hip or knee arthroplasty. Compared with NPs, during the first postoperative week, HPs were more likely to experience delayed recovery of alerting and executive control network function, but not orienting network function.
