METHODS: The reporting of our review was guided by the PRISMA statement and the 6-step evolutionary approach to concept analysis developed by Rodgers. Three databases, including Medline, CINAHL, and Web of Science, were searched to retrieve relevant literature on the concept of POCD. Two independent reviewers conducted abstract and full-text screening, data extraction, and appraisal. The review process yielded a final set of 86 eligible articles.
RESULTS: POCD was defined with varying severities ranging from subtle-to-extensive cognitive changes (1) affecting single or multiple cognitive domains that manifest following major surgery (2), is transient and reversible, and (3) may last for several weeks to years. The consequences of POCD may include impaired quality of life, resulting from withdrawal from the labor force, increased patients\' dependencies, cognitive decline, an elevated risk of dementia, rising healthcare costs, and eventual mortality.
CONCLUSIONS: This review resulted in a refined definition and comprehensive analysis of POCD that can be useful to both researchers and clinicians. Future research is needed to refine the operational definitions of POCD so that they better represent the defining attributes of the concept.
方法:我们的综述报告以PRISMA声明和Rodgers开发的概念分析的6步进化方法为指导。三个数据库,包括Medline,CINAHL,和WebofScience,检索有关POCD概念的相关文献。两名独立审稿人进行了摘要和全文筛选,数据提取,和评估。审查过程产生了最终的86篇合格文章。
结果:POCD的定义具有不同的严重程度,从细微到广泛的认知变化(1)影响大手术后表现出的单个或多个认知领域(2),是瞬态和可逆的,和(3)可能持续数周至数年。POCD的后果可能包括生活质量受损,由于退出劳动力大军,增加了患者的依赖性,认知能力下降,痴呆症的风险增加,医疗费用上涨,和最终的死亡率。
结论:这篇综述导致了对POCD的精确定义和全面分析,对研究人员和临床医生都有用。需要进一步的研究来完善POCD的操作定义,以便它们更好地表示概念的定义属性。
