Inflammation Function, Postoperative Cognitive Function, Postoperative Pain, Postoperative Sleep Quality, Sex Differences

Brief summary

Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery(VATS) is among the most common and disabling persistent pain and inflammation conditions, with increasing prevalence in the developed world, and affects women to a greater degree than men. And sleep disruption also remains a challenging problem in surgical settings. Postoperative sleep disturbances (POSD) are defined as changes in the sleep structure and quality of patients during the early stages after surgery, which are manifested as significantly shortened rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, prolonged awake time, and sleep fragmentation. Long-term POSD may increase the risk of postoperative delirium or cognitive dysfunction and delay recovery, thereby worsening the patient's physical condition. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of sex differences on postoperative pain, inflammation, sleep quality and cognitive function among patients who have undergone video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery under general anesthesia.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
neuropsychological testNeuropsychological tests were carried out the day before and 5 to 7 days after surgery. The second neuropsychological test time for control subjects was 6 to 9 dThe neuropsychological test battery included the tests used to evaluate patients for delayed neurocognitive recovery in the International Study of Post-Operative Cognitive Dysfunction: (1) word learning: visual verbal learning test based on the Rey's auditory recall of words; (2) word recall: the number or words recalled from visual verbal learning trials after a 20-min delay; (3) cognitive flexibility: including trail making test A and B; (4) distractibility: Stroop color word interference test; and (5) working memory: letter-digit coding. If a patient exhibited delirium at a testing time, neuropsychological evaluation was postponed 3 days.
