They showed that TEAS could reduce the development of POD and might be related to attenuated neuroinflammation by reducing the permeability of the blood–brain barrier. Given that POD is a common postoperative complication associated with adverse events and outcomes including functional decline, and increased risks of morbidity and mortality in elderly surgical patients, their findings have the potential implications. To differentiate the real effect of one factor on primary endpoint in a randomized trial, however, all of other factors must be standardized for avoidance of potential bias.
